Amazon.com Product Description

The Lexmark X73 boasts photo-quality printing, color scanning, and full-color and black-and-white copying--all in one convenient unit. Plus, Lexmark includes Black Ice Impact ColorFax Lite software, so you can send PC-based faxes, too.

The X73 prints with up to 2,400 x 1,200 dpi resolution in both black and color on all paper types. For faster, higher-volume needs, you can choose 600 x 600 dpi normal mode or 600 x 300 dpi quick-print mode. The rated speed in the lower resolution is up to 9 pages per minute (ppm) in black and 5 ppm in color.

Make up to 99 copies at 9 ppm in black and 3 ppm in color. Reduce or enlarge from 25 percent to 400 percent in 1 percent increments. The 48-bit flatbed scanner easily scans to fax and to e-mail. Thanks to the unit's hinged lid, you can place bulky objects on the scanning bed, which is ideal for copying books and magazines. For faxing, the X73 combines its scanning functions with the transmitting and receiving functions of your PC's modem, all under the control of specialized software (included).

The X73 comes with a USB cable, black and color print cartridges, an instruction book, and the driver and software CD. Software includes ABBYY FineReader 4.0 OCR for text editing, Black Ice Impact ColorFax Lite for faxing, and MGI PhotoSuite 8.1 for managing photos. Lexmark backs the unit with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, one year of LexExpress service, and optional extended warranties in one-year increments, for a total of up to five years of coverage. --Mike Brown

5.0 out of 5 stars Windows 98=Difficult Installation, otherwise LOVE IT!, April 30, 2002

Stephen M. McPherson (DeLand, FL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Lexmark X73 All-In-One Print Center with USB Cable (Office Product)

If you are running any Windows Format other than XP you will want to ditch the installation disks, and go straight to Lexmark's website for Windows Version-specific drivers/instructions for your computer, or you will have problems with the installation. I had difficulty like about half of the other users with initial installation . . . I am running Windows 98, and something that the CD's have for Windows XP screwed up my computer for a couple of days. The drivers were XP ready and would not cooperate with a 98 format download. I went to the website for Lexmark and downloaded a "98" driver specifically for my unit and installed according to the new instructions. I also had to re-load Windows 98 and the drivers for the USB ports provided with CD for my computer motherboard. All in all, the insallation was a real PAIN . . . BUT . . . the unit's performance is OUTSTANDING--the BEST quality scanner I have EVER used. It is extremely FAST, very easy to use once you finally get it formatted for Windows 98. The printing quality is among the sharpest I have ever seen for a personal computer, and I have found it to be a piece of cake to operate since buying it. If I were to rate this unit based solely upon the ease of installation, I would give it 1-ZERO stars . . . installation was difficult, to say the least, but in performance, I would rate the unit a 5+ Stars for its outstanding features/ease of use/speed/quality of print, etc . . . I purchased the unit for it's performance . . . I viewed installation as merely a means to get the performance I desire . . . so my overall rating is on performance/quality ONLY--not installation. Despite the problems/difficulty I had with the installation, this product IS worth the money and the time to figure out how to properly configure it for your computer--after all, it is less than half the cost of other multifunction units with equal features. HOWEVER, you should not purchase this unit unless:
1) You are skilled at hardware/software installation, or,
2) You are running Windows XP--from reading other reviews, XP users seem to have an easy time of it!

4.0 out of 5 stars X73 a winner, March 31, 2002

David (Troy, AL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lexmark X73 All-In-One Print Center with USB Cable (Office Product)

I operate a Windows ME Pentium III platform. The download from the provided disks in the package went smoothly. Very user-friendly. Just put it through its paces -- printing (from Word 2000), scan, and copying. Flawless performance, with a very smooth, nifty interface, Connection through USB port makes for quick, easy operation. I do not use the machine for fax purposes, since I am connected to broadband cable modem. The only downer -- when I got home and opened the box, I discovered that the required USB cable was not included, so I had to truck out to get one. Kind of chintzy of Lexmark. They should have included one in the package, and charged more if they had to. Yes, I realize that there was a reminder on the box (smallish print) not to forget the USB cable, but, hey, I still think they should have put one in the box. Nice, convenient product. Also, it is not a space hog -- fits nicely where my HP Deskjet used to go. At [price], highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars nothing but trouble, November 24, 2001

Gerry Desilets (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lexmark X73 All-In-One Print Center with USB Cable (Office Product)

This printer would not work consistantly from the disc, from the computor, from the LEXMARK downloads, or professional computor techs. I wasted time and money (on a complete computor diagnostic) trying to get the LEXMARK73 to work. At the beginning it would work for a few days, then slip into about three error situations. I am was being blamed for improper installing and only found out from the supplier that all of the LEX 73's were being returned on a recall. I think Lexmark should have notified me about the recall through the numerous calls to LEXMARK that I made regarding the install problems. I and my friends are not too impressed.
