Looking For An Affordable Wireless Printer? Try the Lexmark X4650 3 in One!

Besides being wireless, the printer also came jam packed with a slew of features that I found to be rather enticing.

The printer states on the box that it is capable of printing 25 pages mono per minute, or up to 18 pages of full color prints per minute. I will discuss later on how well this worked for me.

Naturally, in order for the printer to be wireless, it has to come with built in wireless 802.11b/g. This feature allows you to hook up the printer to work with all wireless ready laptops or computers on your network.

There is also a one touch copy and scan feature that allows you to just hit a button on the printer without even having to power on the PC.

The ability to insert a memory card directly in to the printer allows you to print photos directly from a memory card. You can also print directly from PictBridge compatible cameras, or USB flash drives.

Last but not least, the printer comes with a flatbed scanner.

What I really love about the Lexmark X4650 3 in One Printer is its smaller size. It barely takes up any room on my desk compared to my old model.

The Lexmark X4650 3 in 1 Wireless Printer is 11.3 H X 18.0 W x 22.1 D. For some this may be considered large, but seeing that my old printer needed a desk all its own, the size reduction for me was huge!

The main control panels on the Lexmark X4650 are all neatly located on the top of the printer. Everything is set up and placed so even new users are able to understand which button does what.

The printer itself has an overall black matte finish, with some silver detailing on the side panels. I would have liked a black high gloss finish for the printer to match the rest of the electronics I have in my room, but I appreciate the matte finish, considering it collects far less dust than high gloss finishes.

The one thing I find especially charming on the control menus is the OLED screen located above all of the one touch buttons. This menu allowed me to easily read what setting I had the printer on. The menu is bright, and easy to read. It also makes using the printer more user friendly.

The printer's paper feed only holds around 80 pieces of paper without getting jammed. The paper feed through is pretty solid. As far as quality on the rest of the printer, I will say that the paper tray that catches finished prints is rather flimsy in quality. It is a very thin piece of plastic that could easily break if you were to smack into it for some reason. Another smaller paper catch pulls out of the paper tray and is equally flimsy in quality.

The flatbed scanner feels a little light compared to what I am used to, but I don't see this as a low quality issue; that is, unless you plan on sitting on it, which I don't recommend!
