Lexmark J U All-In-One

Given the choice to buy one device that can scan, copy and print satisfactorily and save space at the same time, it's easy to understand the popularity of all-in-one devices. We've even seen subway passengers carrying home their all-in-one purchases. Try getting on a subway w i t h a scanner, copier and printer, each in a separate box. Printer manufacturers expect sales of multifunction devices to remain strong. So Lexmark looks to improve on last year's impressive X85 All-In-One, putting speed, scanner and resolution enhancements in the brand new, topof-the-line X5150. Maximum resolution is 4,800x1,200 dpi, and ink drops can vary from 3 to 10 picolitres. The scanner reduces t o 2 5 per cent and enlarges up to 400 per cent. If you only want colour copying, you don't even need to attach a computer. The device offers one-touch computerless copying, but t o scan things into usable digital form f o r e -mailing o r storing, you'll need a computer and i f you want faxing capability, that computer will need a modem. From the top right panel, you can control pretty much everything to do with copying and starting a scan or fax. There are separate buttons for colour and black copying and f o r enlarging and reducing. Another button offers three choices f o r photo scanning. Instructions shown on a 1.3x5 cm LCD screen guide you through each process. When used with a computer, the software offers short tips, including the importance of selecting the correct paper for the print job. The X5I50 senses paper
type automatically, saving y o u from manually setting it up and avoiding accidents that would happen if you forgot. Input capacity is 100 sheets; output 50 sheets. With input and output trays fully extended, t h e X 5 I 50 measures 51x48x32 cm (DxWxH). The lid lifts up high enough to allow a box o r other object to be placed on the 30x22 cm scanner bed.
