Lexmark 2581+ Printer Review
Expert review of the Lexmark 2581+ printer
The Lexmark 2581+ is a wide-format forms printer that offers high-speed performance and impressive features like character and page monitoring and multi-part form support. It prints on wide-format media up to 16.5 inches in width, and it offers three print modes, which allow users to produce documents at varying speeds. The black and white Lexmark 2581+ forms printer is suitable for workgroups in need of a reliable forms printer, though it does not offer network capabilities.
Design
Compact and well designed, the Lexmark 2581+ measures only about 25x11.4x7.7 inches, still small for a wide-format unit. It is designed with a built-in USB and parallel port, and its 9-pin dot matrix print engine can produce a maximum resolution of up to 240x144 dpi. The Lexmark 2581+ 9-pin dot-matrix printer has a front paper feeder, which accepts cut or continuous forms, and it has an installed RAM of 512 Kb. The minimum media size that the 2581+ supports is 3x3 inches, while maximum paper size for wide format printing is 16.5x22 inches.
Advantages
In addition to its wide-format printing configuration, the high-speed Lexmark 2581+ dot-matrix printer boasts impressive speeds, up to 618 characters per second using fast draft mode and up to 100 characters per second using near letter quality mode. The Lexmark forms printer 2581+ is small and efficient and it requires little maintenance, as its high yield Lexmark 2581+ ribbons do not need replacement until they expire after printing around 8 million characters.
Disadvantages
Despite being a workgroup printer, the Lexmark 2581+ printer is limited to wired single-computer connectivity, with no possibility for network configuration, making this device difficult to share.
