All in one printers are great, they save space, they save money on buying the things as they are a lot cheaper than buying everything separate. And above all they are easier to use. There’s no having to connect everything to your computer, the having to figure out how to make the scanner scan things to the computer then the printer print them. All in ones make it all easy, you can print directly from scanning without the use of the computer, which means you only have to press one single button and you have a copy of whatever you want, and best of all, scanners are now such good quality, you could copy a photograph onto photo paper and not be able to tell the difference.
This printer looks really good too, it would look best with a white or silver computer or laptop, so a apple Mac would look great next to this printer. This is because the printer its self is white and silver, which makes it look very modern, also its cube like shape makes this printer look really good too. The printers glass like shiny white surface on the top of it makes it look shiny and new, even when it isn’t and there’s just nothing I dislike about the design of this printer.
The panel sticking out of the front of the printer is quite big and could probably have been put on the top to save space, however it looks far from ugly. This contains several buttons to operate the printer and scanner with ease and even has an screen on it too. This however isn’t a colour screen and is just a calculator like screen, however this does have a backlight so you can see what it says and so you can navigate your way through the menus and print options on screen, and select things like paper size, the quality and even how much you want to print. So there really are a lot of options on the printer you can choose without even turning on your pc to print things off.
Also with this one, there’s the opportunity to do a thing called direct print. This is a feature that can be seen on a lot on new printers now and it makes you able to print pictures of documents from a memory card or a camera, simply plug your memory cards into the card reader on the front right panel of this printer, and navigate what pictures you want and press print, also you can connect your camera via USB to the printer as there is a USB port in the front of it too, this is great, and even for people who don’t own a pc then you could still use this printer to just print off all your pictures.
This printer even has a wi fi option, this means its got wi fi built into it, in the same way a laptop does. This means you could connect your printer to a wireless netwok in your house or office so that everyone in that network can use the printer, and use it wirelessly, so you could be upstairs on your laptop, but connected to the printer wirelessly, press print and your document will print off the printer that is downstairs. If you don’t want to use this feature then the printer can still be connected by USB, although it would seem a waste if you were to not use this fantastic feature.
This print quality of this printer is well above average too, black printed word documents come out clear and pictures come out very good too. The print speed is also very quick, managing an impressive 24 pages per minute. But best of all its not too dear, and for a printer, scanner, wi fi, printer which also has a screen, just £50 is an amazing price.
Advantages: wifi, screen Disadvantages: 2 separate ink cartridges
...ago, i have always had lexmark printers, and i really liked the design of this one. It is an all in one, so a printer, scanner and copier, and the price ranges from around £30-50 which i think is reasonably good value for money. It takes two print cartridges, one black on colour, the numbers are 3 and 4 cartridges respectively, which are also fairly cheap. at between £13-18 depending on where you purchase them, I find the fact that it has separate ... ...just have one cartridge for both, as i personally use a lot more black than colour, so i only have to replace whichever one is needed as opposed to the whole cartridge, when there may still be colour ink left in it. It has an extendable tray which you can pull out while it is printing to catch the paper, and the buttons are easy to use. It was also very easy to install, with no major problems arising. It also has a good warning system of when the ...

Advantages: Reasonably price for a 3 in 1 MULTIFUNCTIONAL Unit. Disadvantages: So easy to accidently switch off.
...I have had this printer for nearly 1 year now. Be aware that it has been updated by Lexmark and a newer version is available (the X3580). I've done some compairing and will mention any differences I know of below.
What it is: Its a 3 in 1 Multifunction unit. It prints, has a scanner and has a copier. Will connect to your computer via a USB port.
Shops: This is available on E.Bay (various sellers) and PC World have it listed. Its NO longer on Currys or comet (who used to sell it). It'll cost under £40 from the shops and less from auction.
Size: On line you'll get info on it in various sizes. I'll show it in 'old money': Its 15" wide, 11" long and 6" tall, so a fair size. Just look at a piece of A4 on the floor and imagine a few extra inches all round! Once its loaded with paper, the paper shoot sticks out at the back by a few...
