Manual of product MS312dn
Editorial note
The Lexmark MS312dn printer stands out for its printing speed, reaching 35 pages per minute, and an excellent resolution of 1200 x 1200 DPI, ensuring sharp and professional prints. Its paper capacity of 300 sheets, with a maximum input of 850 sheets, allows for efficient handling of large volumes of documents without interruption. Additionally, it is compatible with several operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux, providing appreciated flexibility of use. However, several drawbacks deserve to be highlighted. The lack of a color printing function limits its use to monochrome prints, which may not suit all users, particularly those needing color prints. The duplex printing mode being manual can be less convenient for those who frequently print documents on both sides. Furthermore, its weight of 14 kg complicates its mobility, and the internal memory of 128 MB may be insufficient for heavier printing tasks. In terms of ratings, the product scores 80 in performance, highlighting its printing capabilities. The user experience is rated positively (75), thanks to practical features, although the absence of a touchscreen and the manual duplex printing mode may hinder task fluidity. The value for money is excellent (85), considering its performance and paper capacity. However, ease of use is rated at 70, due to the lack of built-in Wi-Fi and the manual duplex printing mode. The documentation is well provided, with a score of 80, facilitating the product's handling. In summary, the Lexmark MS312dn is a high-performing and reliable printer for professional use, but users should consider its limitations regarding color and connectivity.Score details
