Manual of product B2338dw
Editorial note
The Lexmark B2338dw printer stands out with its impressive printing speed of 36 pages per minute and a maximum resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, making it an ideal choice for demanding office environments. Its built-in duplex printing function optimizes resource usage, thereby contributing to a reduction in paper volume used. Additionally, its compatibility with various operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux, ensures appreciable flexibility of use. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The lack of color printing features may be a hindrance for those who need to produce color documents for presentations. The sound pressure level of 54 dB during printing can disrupt a quiet work environment, and its weight of 13.9 kg may complicate mobility in tight spaces. Furthermore, while the maximum input capacity of 900 sheets is sufficient for many users, it may not meet the highest printing needs. In terms of value for money, the Lexmark B2338dw offers a good balance for users who prioritize monochrome printing. However, its limitations regarding color and input capacity should be considered based on each user's specific requirements. Overall, this printer is robust and designed for heavy use, although it has some aspects to consider before purchase.Score details
