5.0 out of 5 stars Lexmark X6170 AIO GREAT MACHINE!!!, October 6, 2003

This review is from: Lexmark X6170 All-in-One Scanner, Copier, Fax (Office Product)

After reviewing and checking out PC World's latest Mutifunction product review and user comments here at Amazon I was sold. Almost bought HP's 6110 but user comments on CNET scared me. I am overjoyed with the Lexmark X6170 it does everything and more quality & speed are great and setup was so easy it was the icing on the cake. It has stand alone faxing & pc based faxing which was real important for me. This was worth every cent and at $200.00 after rebate it's a steal. Go get it you will not be sorry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lexmark x6170 Gets it Done, May 2, 2004

This review is from: Lexmark X6170 All-in-One Scanner, Copier, Fax (Office Product)

When setting up my office, I came to the conclusion that I needed an all-in-one which included a sheet feeder to make multiple copies/scan multiple pages. With that in mind, I chose the Lexmark x6170. For the reasons set forth below, I have been richly rewarded for my choice.

SETUP - Setup is a snap out of the box. Ink cartridges are easy to install and the alignment of those cartridges is also self-explanatory. The install software installed without a glitch.

PRINT QUALITY - Always very good. Bear in mind that it is not a laser printer, but for an Ink Jet, it will put out good quality prints.

SOFTWARE - Quite useful. In fact even the OCR reading software produced results.

FUNCTIONALITY - The Lexmark x6170 by a push of a button allows the user the ability to scan to various applications including Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. The Printer Program also allows for double sided printing which is extremely useful. The 50 sheet feeder worked flawlessly. I have not yet had occassion to use the fax.

All in all, I would highly recommend this machine. I have not yet run into any major or minor problems with it to complain about.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Functional Machine, January 26, 2004

This review is from: Lexmark X6170 All-in-One Scanner, Copier, Fax (Office Product)

I am very satisifed with the x6170 so far. I recently returned a HP6110 because it's software wouldn't play well with my Windows 98 computers. (Read my review.) Finally I gave up, and the store I bought it from, aware of the problem from the HP rep, took it back without question.

I ruled out another HP machine, obviously, and was leery of a Brother because of the printhead reliability issues I've read about in other reviews. The Epson multifunction was SLOW when I tried it at the store, Canon was pricey and just average print quality, so that left only Lexmark. I also required a sheet feeder for multi-page faxing and copying legal size documents, so that narrowed the field even more, until only the x6170 remained.

I wasn't impressed with it's appearance, it looks like it was designed by the same people who design stuff for Target. Maybe I'm getting old. It also is kind of plasticky and has a larger footprint than the 6110.It does have an easy to read blue screen and lighted blue buttons, which I love.

Appearance issues aside, this unit functions beautifully, especially when you factor in the low price. Faxing is fast and the sheet feeder works great. Faxing and copying can be done without your computer being turned on. The software plays well with my computers, and is very intuitive and content-rich, especially compared to the HP. Printing is just one notch below the HP, which was flawless, WHEN it worked. This is merely very very good, but it ALWAYS works. I'll make that trade off!

I can't think of any reason not to recommend the x6170. Don't overlook this machine-give it a try!

UPDATE: I just refilled the ink cartridges. Very simple. Took about 5 minutes. The only difference from HP cartridges is you use a screwdriver to gently pry the top cap off.

The reviewer who said that the installation is complicated should get a new assistant. I can assure you it is fast and easy.

One cavaet: If you use a calling card for long-distance faxes, make sure the PIN number is no longer than 10 digits. It is possible to use a longer one, but it's tricky, and not worth the effort. That issue aside, as time goes by, I am more satisfied with the Lexmark than even when I first posted this review.
