Lexmark 1620 Printer Review

The Lexmark Optra S 1620 combines solid performance with an affordable price and compact design to create a laser printer that is well-suited to the small or medium office. Its print speeds of 16 pages per minute are slower than some competing models, but the sharp 1200 dpi resolution makes up for it in print quality. For those in a network environment, the 1620N model includes an ethernet port for quick connection to the office network. Printer toner costs are low, as Optra S 1620 toner is very affordably priced.

Small office users will appreciate the compact design of the 1620, especially those in tight office spaces. The unit measures 13.2 inches by 15.9 inches by 19.5 inches, and weighs only 41 pounds. Expansion trays are available to increase the standard paper capacity, but the trays add only to the height of the machine. Standard paper capacity is 350 sheets, which includes a 250-sheet main tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. A wide variety of media types are supported, including envelopes, transparencies, and card stock.

Replacing toners doesn't have to be difficult or expensive. Lexmark 1620 toner cartridges are easily replaced from the front access panel. The affordable price of Lexmark 1620 toner also keeps costs down, and Optra S toner cartridges have a capacity of 43,000 pages, which means a low cost per page.

Compared to other models in its class, the 1620 tends to be a bit more expensive than the average, but it features a 1200 dpi printing resolution that other models lack. It also has more paper expansion options.

For the medium or large office, the 1620 is an excellent choice. Networked office users can take advantage of the built-in ethernet port option, and the affordable price of Lexmark 1620 toner will keep running costs down for the life of the machine.
