Now, the E320 was a good printer, but then Lexmark decided to upgrade it to the Lexmark Optra E321 printer and it has reached an whole new level. While the early model scored some good customer reviews regarding speed, the upgrade makes the old version look like a snail. With documents flying into the output tray at speeds of 20 pages per minute and with the high quality Lexmark Optra E321 toner, the user will not be disappointed.

With the speedy printing, the Lexmark Optra E321 toner also prints in quality resolution. 600 to 1200 dots per square inch is the kind of quality every college student needs when they want to turn in a paper worthy of an A. While this printer is praised for its speed and quality looking print jobs, it has also been known for its noisiness.

Regardless of noise, the Lexmark Optra E321 looks good. Instead of going for the boring white that most printers have, Lexmark decided to make this printer gray, which is a nice change of pace. It is a good size too that can be easily carried in and out of college dormitories with ease. Weighing twenty pounds, this machine can be placed on just about anything, though a sturdy object is still recommended.

Even though this is a good printer, it has ranked in quite a few complaints regarding noise. Owners have expressed that the interface buttons seem a little loose, so when the machine shakes when it prints, the buttons rattle to make more noise. Also, just being turned on, the printer hums. Users have also stated that they heard a whining noise when turning the printer off. If this does not sound like it will bother you, the machine is still a good machine.

The Lexmark Optra E321 printer holds about the same amount of pages of any other printer its size. While the loading tray can hold 150 pages, though, the output tray will break under the weight of over a hundred sheets of paper. However, the output tray does have a nice feature if a user uses paper of different sizes.

This upgraded model has more enjoyable features than its predecessor does. 8MB of memory should be good for the average user, but if a consumer needs more memory, Lexmark offers an extension that holds up to 72MB of memory. Printers need memory so that the computer can just send the document to the printer and the printer can print from its own memory. This helps the printing job go quicker.

The speed of the printing, 20 pages a minute, should make any college student rushing before class happy. If a student has ten minutes before class and a 10-page paper is due, well then he or she may even be able to grab a snack or drink from a vending machine to enjoy while sitting in class. It is much better than using an antiquated printer that takes forever to make a single copy.
