A very capable printer…

Over the years, many of the office printers I have had I would call clunkers. They were big and heavy, and hard to find a good space to put it. I was very excited to get the Lexmark MC3426i. It's smaller size is perfect for my small office (13.6 x 16.2 x 15.5 in. : H x W x D). It's a color all-in-one laser printer the prints, copies, scans, and faxes. It has a 2.8" touch screen panel, and prints up to 26ppm color and B&W and 13ppm duplex at 2400x600 resolution. The automatic document feeder is It weighs 42.7 lb.
As a CPA, I need capable printing. I don't have a need for super high speed printing, and 26ppm is plenty fast enough for my needs. This printer is for my office. I have another larger printer in the admin area, but it's under a contract at a cost per page, so don't want to push all my volume to it. It's recommended for 750-5000 page volume per month, and a maximum duty cycle of 75000 pages per month. It comes with a 250 page document tray. I purchased a second 250 page tray. At this time I do not plan to use the fax function, but that could change. The copy glass is 8x14.
The printer was very easy to set up. I loaded the software with the included CD and was up and running in no time. I just started to use it, printing documents, making some copies, and scanning. It takes close to 10 seconds for the first page to print. Once started, I find it to be plenty fast for my needs. It prints very clear, and the colors are realistic. It's fairly quiet which is a bonus. I scanned using Adobe, and once I started the scan I was asked to go to the control panel to accept the scan. As of this writing I haven't figured out if I can skip that step. I have a high speed scanner as the volume of scanning is heavy, so I will use this for small/simple scans.
I really like this printer. I like the smaller size, it looks good on the credenza, and is an excellent choice for a smaller office which won't break the bank. I recommend this printer, my first Lexmark. I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
