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 Optra E321 replacement toners, the user will not be disappointed.

With the speedy printing, the Lexmark replacement toners 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.

On a completely positive note, this printer looks good. If a consumer finds him or herself bored of the white models everyone is selling, then be happy that the Lexmark Optra E321 is gray. Gray matches most colors and this machine is small so it can match just about any size room, fitting in wherever a consumer might like to put it.

There are some inherent design issues in the manufacturing of this printer and this is where the noise issues become apparent. When turning the unit on, the first thing many users noticed was how the buttons on the control panel are loose and rattle when the machine is in use. While on, the E321 has a continuous low-pitched hum, which may not be an issue for some, but is for others. When engaging in printing, the machine makes a noise that has been described by some as a whine as it ramps up, and then again, when it winds down.

The Lexmark Optra E321 printer possesses the average paper capacity that most small printers do, which is 150 pieces of paper. The holding tray can only hold 100 of these pages, though, so consumers should make sure to remove at least fifty pages after they print them if they plan to print all 150 pages in one sitting. This printer also has additional output tray materials that help with the kind of papers that differ from the norm.

This improved model has added some nice features for beefing up its operations. As mentioned previously it has 8MB of RAM, which can accommodate some sizable printing tasks. The memory can be expanded all of the way up to 72MB. The E321 has both parallel and USB ports, though neither cable is included in the purchase price.

For the student or person who prints at home, a printer that prints twenty pages a minute is a pretty fast machine. Push the power button on the beautiful gray machine and a user can have the first page he or she would like printed within 10 seconds. The Lexmark Optra E321 toner can produce up to 3000 pages of crisp and clean document.
