If you are looking for a strong, small, fast and affordable monochrome laser printer you are in luck.  The Lexmark Optra T632 printer using Lexmark T632 toner is out and ready for some serious production. Although certainly not the most advanced printer in any one area, it provides a combination of speed, durability, quality and price that is hard to match. The printer is currently sold for under $170, but the value it delivers makes it look like it is worth twice as much. This model is a good choice for small offices, home users or offices that want to have a fast dedicated monochrome as backup.

This little worker of a printer can deliver around forty pages a minute, quite amazing for a diminutive device like this. The quality of printing is also high at 1,200 dpi; again these are great specs for a printer of this size and price.

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.

Another strong point of this printer is its processing speed. This makes it fast, not only with documents, but also with monochrome graphics. The chip has a speed of 350 MHz, which speeds up the processing time of complex images like graphics.

The only real disadvantage of this printer is that some major features are missing. Among them are the duplex printing feature and bad starter toner. Most printers come with empty, or close to empty, Lexmark Optra printer toners. The duplex printing feature refers to the ability some printers have of printing both sides of a sheet in one go. This is a serious advantage when you are printing large guides, manuals or other books.

Duplex printing, however, is a feature many consumers enjoy. It is the ability to print the two sides of a sheet with the same pass. This feature is currently only found in more expensive models because the cost of duplex printing is currently quite high. Lexmark has tried to keep costs down on this printer while still providing high speed and quality printings.

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.

The Lexmark Optra T632 printer is a heavy duty monochrome laser printer that provides high speed printing and high quality printing at a price you cannot complain about. If you are in the market for a heavy duty, fast and affordable printer, you should take a closer look at this small but tough model.

Using T632 cartridge, this device offers up clear and concise text and graphics sure to please new users and those familiar with Lexmark Optra replacement toners.  Smart consumers will also appreciate the great toner printer cartridges prices found online.
