Lexmark Optra T614
The Lexmark Optra T614 is another contender in the mono laser printer marketplace, aimed squarely at the small or home business.
At 25 pages per minute, the T614 is quick enough for most office needs. The prints themselves are reproduced in high quality up to 1200 dpi. Text is clear, with crisp edging and good, accurate fill. Image quality is better than you would expect from a laser printer, especially one priced as keenly as this one. Images were clear and accurate, with no visible banding anywhere to be seen. We mean accurate to be understood as there was toner where there was supposed to be, and not where it wasn’t. Some printers can be a little haphazard with coverage, no such worries with the T614.
With good memory, a decent 200Mhz processor and good quality printing, you would expect to pay significantly more for the T614. The 500 sheet standard paper tray is expandable to 650, a further 50 sheets can be added to the 100 sheet multipurpose tray, and the output tray is enough to cope with 500 prints. With all these being expandable handling large print jobs is something the T614 can do with ease. In fact this printer has a duty cycle of 25000 pages per month.
High yield cartridges can last up to 25000 pages. This will either last the home user an incredibly long time, or serve a much bigger group of users. Installation is simple, just connect the parallel, USB or serial port and away you go. There is no network port as standard although it is an option. The Lexmark drivers are installed in minutes, without any problems whatsoever.
The software package adds a lot of flexibility to the T614. You can manipulate prints, change the colors, tone and resize, add overlays and a whole host of other things. This software is another strength of Lexmark, as they seem to include them with all their devices.
The T614 is ideal for users who want a printer that does exactly what is says on the box. It can easily cope with almost anything you throw at it, even complex photographs. The consumables are easily obtainable through online retailers like Quikshiptoner.com making this a cost effective as well as quality solution.
