Lexmark C736 Review

For medium sized businesses and workgroups the Lexmark C736 is a remarkable choice for a printer. The Lexmark C736 offers a high quality printer at a very affordable price and cost cutting toner options. Lexmark created a printer that can accommodate offices and needs of all types, with the extensive list of optional features including; expandable input trays up to 4,300 pages, high yield toner options, network ready printing and a 550 page specialty media drawer. The Lexmark comes standard at a size of 17.7 inches high, 17.1 inches wide and 18.5 inches deep, which could easily fit on an average sized desk. With all features added, the Lexmark C736 could be a free standing printer  of nearly 4 feet tall.

Connecting this printer to any already established group or network of computers can easily be done without any hassle. The Lexmark C736 comes standard with a 10/100 Ethernet port to easily connect into any wired network. Also, the Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port enables it to be easily added to just one computer if it’s only needed for one computer. The Lexmark C736 Color Laser Printer is compatible with just about any Windows operating system that is newer than Windows 98. Also, this printer is compatible with Mac OS X and Mac OS 9.x.  Also another optional feature in which you can upgrade this printer with is wireless networking, if wireless printing is needed in your office space, this printer could work very well.

For printing in color the printer’s 2400 x 600 dpi resolution should be more than enough for most office’s needs. The Lexmark C736H1KG (Black), C736H1MG (Magenta), C736H1CG (Cyan), and C736H1YG (Yellow) are the high yield toner cartridges for the Lexmark C736 and offer yields of 12,000 for the black cartridge and 10,000 for the color cartridges.
