The Lexmark W840dn prints at speeds up to 50 pages per minute and comes with both duplexing and network capability standard for an estimated street price of $3,299*. The Lexmark W840 series also features a convenient USB port on the operator panel so that users can print PDF and image files directly from a USB flash storage device.
"Fast performance, a low purchase price, and a nifty flash-drive reader on the control panel are the W840dn's claims to fame, plus it comes better equipped than its rivals," InfoWorld said.
The Lexmark W840dn scored a perfect "10" for speed on InfoWorld's tests and also displayed impressive print quality. "The W840dn sped past the HP and Xerox on my text and Excel test documents," InfoWorld said.
The Lexmark W840dn was also praised for its ease of use. "The W840dn's control panel is where Lexmark's designers put on their thinking caps," InfoWorld said. In addition to the USB port, the operator panel also features an intuitive, customizable display that provides on-screen graphics to help guide users through simple interventions and reduce the need for technical support.
"The Lexmark W840dn is an ideal printer for customers who print high volumes of both letter and tabloid size documents," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division. "We are very pleased by the recognition it has received from InfoWorld."
