This review looks into the performance of the Lexmark Optra T644 printer with Lexmark Optra T644 toner. It is not easy to make a good choice when buying a printer simply because there is so much to choose from. The problem is that most of the features advertised are interesting, even useful, but not all are necessary for every client. In a time when all businesses and home users are trying to save money on unnecessary expenses it important to tell the difference between what you need and what you do not.

It is a good idea to spend a few minutes, or get one of your office workers to, deciding what features your office needs. Do you need a color printer, or will a dedicated monochrome be enough? Should you go for laser or ink jet? Are cartridge maintenance costs a worry to you? What speed do you require to keep up with your office? What resolution do you need? The answer to these questions will help you make a better choice when buying a printer.

The Lexmark T640 is a nice balance between performance and price. The reason for this is that extra features have been kept to a minimum while still including them as available extras if the client requires them. This system allows users to decide what they want to pay for and what they do not.

This printer is a dedicated monochrome laser printer. It is fast and comes with high resolution printing. This means it is an ideal printer for a small to medium office that prints mainly documents and does not need a color laser printer. The processing speed of its chip is 514 MHz, which is great for helping with complex images and dealing with heavy printing queues.

This printer can be used on a variety of sizes and media types. It can handle vinyl labels, transparencies, envelopes and even polyester labels. It can also print on any size up to Folio which is 8.5 inches x 13 inches.

The media feeders are composed of a large auto load tray of 500 sheets and a smaller 100 sheet multipurpose tray. This might be a little small for a workgroup or office, but it is not an issue because you can easily order an extra tray to handle your specific requirements.

Built in networking in the basic model is not amazing. It is composed of a USB and a parallel port. However, as mentioned above, this can be expanded on. Surprisingly there is an only one expansion slot, but this should not be an issue considering the number of additional accessories that can be attached to it.

One of the better features of the printer is its networking capabilities, unfortunately its networking connections are not in the same league. You will have to invest a bit more to get the built in networking capabilities. The Lexmark Optra T644 printer is a good idea for companies looking for speed, good networking features and a price tag designed for a tight budget.
