Suprisingly decent product…

I don't have too much experience with Lexmark printers in the past and have always been exposed to other brands, but I was pleasantly surprised at the multifunction printer, Lexmark MB3441i. It just so happens that I recently got rid of my old inkjet but still wanted something that would last me a while and laser printers do just that.
The Lexmark MB3441i is an all-in-one type machine. This was a compact sized monochrome print/scan/copy machine with several other features that were quite useful. There is an automatic feeder, flatbed scanner, 1 multi-size paper that can hold a little less than a full ream of standard size paper. The unit measures roughly 16" x 14" x 14". It weighs a good amount, with obvious bulk from the feeder head.
The initial unpacking was a bit tedious, as there was quite a bit of ribbon tape (that at times split and left stringy residue). as well with decently (small enough but with enough cushioning) foam inserts. The quickstart guide was a bit ambiguous
The unit itself has connectivity to wifi, wifi direct, ethernet ports, mobile connect, and printer usb. No other cables were provided other than the power cable. I did have a usb 3 version type printer cable but it did not fit (blue) and ended up opting to connect via direct cat6 networking. There is a usb port on the side of the display panel for usb drive access. Setup was a breeze and the printer was immediately detected. The driver package was not too big and did not include a lot of bulk software, though it did not include everything and I needed to download the scanner utility separately.
The print job was quick and speedy. It was a bit clunky and noisy and it jammed the very first time. This was due to improper paper placement in the tray. The markings on the paper tray did not make sense or line up to what it was. The print job was sharp and no smudges with solid shades of gray and black. The scanning left a little to be desired as I had to mess around with the profiles to get it to scan well. Nice little feature was also being able to update drivers directly while connected on a network. I'm hoping this printer is a keeper. I'll have to explore more on image scanning quality, but once settled in, it does a solid job and everything I expect it to. There is also mobile connectivity, internal web server, and scan to email. So far so good and no impediments yet.
I received a special deal on this product for providing my feedback.
