Manual of product MS31
Editorial note
The Lexmark MS31 is a laser printer that stands out for its impressive printing speed, reaching up to 35 pages per minute. This performance is ideal for work environments requiring high print volumes. Additionally, the maximum print resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI ensures clear and precise documents, making it a wise choice for professionals. However, a few drawbacks must be taken into account. The lack of Wi-Fi connectivity can be limiting for users seeking flexibility, as it restricts connection options to Ethernet or USB. Furthermore, the noise level of 53 dB during printing can be disruptive in quiet offices. The weight of 14,100 g also makes the printer difficult to move, which could pose a problem for those who need to reposition it regularly. In terms of value for money, the Lexmark MS31 offers interesting features, including an input capacity of 850 sheets, helping to reduce interruptions during long print jobs. Nevertheless, the maximum output capacity of 150 sheets may be insufficient for users with very high printing needs, requiring frequent interventions to empty the tray. Overall, the Lexmark MS31 proves to be a good choice for professional users looking for a fast and efficient printer, although some aspects, such as noise level and weight, deserve consideration.Score details
