Lexmark X342n

 

The Lexmark X342n makes a great first impression, but what's inside doesn't quite live up to its looks.

Standalone fax machine and copier. Includes a network connector and a 50-page automatic document feeder.

No duplexer option. Can't fax from a PC. Clumsy approach to scanning over a network.

Lexmark X342n

 

The X342n Multifunction Laser Printer is Lexmark's cheapest multifunction unit, at $399. It prints, copies, and faxes only black ink documents. If you don't need the fax but want color printing capability, the X500n provides this for $100 more. A...

Lexmark X342n

 

The X342n is a mid-range, bare-bones, multifunction printer which can be hooked up to network or a computer.

The printer uses a large amount of power while printing, typical of most laser printers. However, its warm-up time was significantly less than other lasers.

Lexmark X342n MFP

 

These days, £260 can buy you an awful lot of functionality. The Lexmark X342n MFP offers print, scan, copy and fax facilities, and it does so through a high-speed monochrome laser engine.

The X342n can carry out a lot of roles, but in most cases it fails to performs them with sufficient panache. Its print features are perhaps the best, but the lack of duplexing could be an issue. Scanning was only adequate, while the fax component could...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Bad choice

 

Had it for about a year until the scanner died after a fair extensive use. Called tech support. They said I should replace the scanner part. Price - $166. So if you don't need to scan a lot, this machine will do a good job.

Works - until it dies. Prints fast ; Can copy a batch of pages ; Power save mode

Didn't work out of the box ; Scanner is the Achiles heel. Died after about a year ; Scanner works with Java interface. A lot of problems there ; Cannot auto feed envelopes ; Fax will work most of the times
