The height does not include the height of the lid when opened to insert items to scan, so you need at least a little larger space for access. It came in a frighteningly large box, reflecting the fact that it is a rather bulky printer. More about this, later.įirst, a few facts. However, even if they last a while, if you use them for actual printing, they tend to be quite costly. As long as you use them only as paper weights, you can have quite a collection for a reasonable sum of money. This, of course, is why printers are inexpensive. That entails constantly changing them so that they are not interchangeable, design them not to be refillable, and make printers that don’t last very long. The game is simple try to make it necessary to buy as many of the ridiculously overpriced cartridges as possible. So, silly me, forgetting the ink game played by the printer manufacturers, I thought it might use the same cartridges. The printer that it was replacing was about a two year older Lexmark multifunction that was in the same series. I chose this particular machine because I believed (mistakenly, as it turned out) that I had a number of ink cartridges for it. This was inexpensive, anyway, about $120.00 at Sam’s Club. Most of the time something goes bad in the feeding mechanism and I suspect it would not be difficult to repair, but I like buying new things, anyway and always talk myself into one more feature so that it won’t be a lateral move.
I go through a lot of printers, not because of hard use, but because the inexpensive printers on the market today have very short half lives, not much over a year, I think. The “all purpose” refers to the fact that it is also a copier, scanner, fax machine, and photo printer, features that can be accessed independently of a computer.
