Lexmark Optra T614 Laser Printer


Lexmark Optra T614A4 laser printer designed to be a fast and reliable workgroup machine. Midrange in the Optra T610 to T616 series introduced in 1999.

Although the design is quite old the 25 page per minute output speed and 1200 dpi resolution mean it is still a satisfactory machine for many offices.

The design does have limitations, these printers:
On the other hand the cartridges come in standard 10,000 and high yield 25,000 page capacitie, very much larger than provided on more contemprary machines. Lexmark "chipped" the cartridges but recycling has become commonplace and doesn't seem to be difficult so these machines can be made to give very low prices per page.


UPC Code 7-3464628300-7

Lexmark T Series OverviewTo create the "T" series Lexmark drew heavily on the design of it's "S" series predecessors. This gave them a fast reliable printer to compete with the likes of the HP LaserJet 4000, 4100 and so forth.  Subsequently Lexmark produced the T620 and T630 series based on a similar revision of the engine.

Whats In The BoxWhats In The Box:

The printer isn't on the market anymore so I don't suppose anyone is going to ship them with all their CDs and other bits and bobs. Printers are still available "as is" from brokers and refurbishers. User manuals (and service manuals) are fairly readily available online. Recent Windows and Linux systems have the drivers pre-installed.

WarrantyWarranty:

Originally One Year LexExpressSM. Waranty on spare parts and second user items is normally 90 days.
