Lexmark T654 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark T654 Printer Review

The Lexmark T654 is a pricey, albeit robust, monochrome laser printer that can support large workgroups with its quick maximum speeds of up to 55 pages per minute. For a boost in features, users can check out additional models in the series including the T654N, T654DN and T654DTN which incorporates networking, duplexing, and expanded paper handling. Despite a more primitive design, the base model still has the feature set and quick speeds to benefit heavy-duty workgroups.

With a heavy weight of over 50 pounds and size of up to 16x20x17 inches, it is rather bulky for a single-function printer. The unit's high-volume capabilities help overcome its size, including a large maximum monthly duty cycle of 300,000 pages and total memory capacity of 1280 MB. Media handling is also versatile enough to support demanding environments, including a 100-sheet multipurpose tray and 550-sheet input tray. Users can also purchase an array of additional trays like a 1,850-sheet paper feeder and 400-sheet universally adjustable tray.

The unit's front panel has a basic design that incorporates a monochrome LCD, a navigation pad, an LED for alerts when toners are low, and a single connection port for a USB flash drive. For better productivity in a workgroup, the device comes with a job waiting feature that can hold a project temporarily while others print important jobs without interruption. Print quality for monochrome text and graphic projects is decent enough to support internal distribution with a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi using Lexmark T654 printer toner.

The unit comes with a single 10,000-sheet black Lexmark T654 toner cartridge. Users can replace this supply with either a high-capacity option that can yield up to 25,000 pages, or the 36,000-sheet extra high-capacity Lexmark T654 toner cartridge.

The T654 may not have the most intuitive design, but it has a productivity-enhancing package of features that can meet the needs of busy workgroups. For greater versatility in connectivity and output, users should look at other models in the series like the T654DTN.
