What You Should Know about the E240N LASER

Installed Memory is Ideal for Five or Fewer Users

This printer's installed memory is sufficient for small offices or workgroups that print typical business documents, such as memos, spreadsheets, or simple Web pages. If you have more than six people using the printer or the printer handles heavy traffic, you will want more memory than this printer provides.

User Reviews for Lexmark E240N LASER

  • Reviewed by: setholdfield

    Duration of ownership: 1 Year

    Strengths: Fast printing

    Weaknesses: TONER! TONER! TONER! You will find yourself buying toner left and right. Toner does not yield anywhere near the "2500 page @ 5% coverage". The "Economy" mode doesn't help much.

    Overall Evaluation: I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRINTER TO ANYONE. CDW was offering this printer "Buy 2 get 1 free"... 3 printers for a total cost of $490.00. I purchased 3 for a customer. They have to replace the toner in each printer every 3 weeks. Their old HPs would require toner replacements once every 2 months! What a joke!
