Optra T632 Printer

Shopping for a new home use printer is no longer an easy task. I remember when I bought my first printer and there were two kinds of printers - the expensive office juggernauts and the cheap and nasty home use printers. Now the barrier between home and office use is so thin it no longer really exists. If you are in the market for a monochrome laser printer, and speed and durability are your main features, you might want to have a look at the Lexmark Optra T632 printer using Optra T632 compatible toner (http://www.qtoner.us/Lexmark-Optra-T632-Toner-Cartridges). At less than $170, and if the features it carries are right for you, it can be a great deal.

This petite but powerful printer can deliver 40 pages per minute, which is fast, especially for a low budget model like this. It also boasts high quality printing of 1,200 dpi. These two features combined make this a great buy for anybody looking for a balanced compromise of price, speed and quality.

The weaknesses of this printer finally start to appear in the connections area. It is not a large office printer, so networking and workgroup connections are not as easy or as available as with other larger and more expensive printers. The available connections are a USB port and a parallel port for older computer models. This is a great little bonus for low budget consumers who have managed to keep their older desktop working and need a new printer.

The processor is also very fast, helping the printer to work out complex images like graphics and speed up the printing process. Complicated images must be broken down into dots a printer can understand. A fast processor allows this to be done more efficiently and also increases the number of jobs that can be left in a printing queue.

This also allows for faster printing of multiple jobs placed in the waiting list. The large sheet tray is also a nice bonus for people who want to be able to print for longer without reloading. There are obviously some features this little fighter did not manage to pack in. You will not find a duplex printing feature or great starter Lexmark Optra replacement toner (http://www.qtoner.us/Lexmark-Optra-Series-Toner-Cartridges) included. Unfortunately, this is the case with most printers.

However, not everybody uses this feature and it does increase the cost of printers considerably. For a budget home and office user these disadvantages should not be a worry. They are nice extras that can be bought if you are willing to pay the higher price tag, but if you are looking for a solid and fast printer this model will not disappoint.

This printer has been designed for home users and small offices that need a high volume of documents printed with good printing quality. The 40 pages per minute, resolution of 1,200 dpi and a price tag below $170 make it a great compromise of speed, quality and price.

If you are looking for high speed, volume, quality and reliability this is the right printer for you. The price tag is anywhere from $130 and $170 and does not reflect the high quality of this product. If you choose this monochrome laser printer you will get fast printing, with high resolution at a very low price. The Lexmark Optra T632 printer is a great deal if you do not need anything else except great fast printing.
