Lexmark X4270

OK – Good Product, let down by the lexmark company not tying up the loose ends with correct labelling of their product and lexmark support not knowing the answer to problems. If their share price is tumbling I can see why, which is a shame because its a good product for the price. Looks good, multifunction, easy to use. No backlit light on the LCD,… Read more

support is lacking, I am now up to my 3rd printer in 2 weeks and Lexmark just kept replacing it due to the lights staying on. After reading the posts, I reset to US settings and the problem dissapeared. I bought a USB cable as the box indicates you need one, then I discover they included one in the box. Lexmark needs to implement a Quality System that reacts to feedback ie The help station should know the fix, it would of saved them the return of 2 printers, and they should be including this in their installation instructions for Aussie users, also they should be putting a label on the box indicating that it "Includes a USB cable"

OK – I could not send or recieve faxes or calls and was ready to throw it in the bin as no amount of changing around the cables and filters made any difference. Then I read the review dated October 13th 2005. I followed these instructions and it solved the problem. Also, remember to put your fax ID number in the same internationl format. These… Read more

instructions should be in the manual, but aren't. Takes up very little space for what it has in features. Is a little noisier than my previous Lexmark. Could not call out on it or send faxes.

Terrible – Do not buy Lexmark. Bought it at the post office as needed simple to use fax machine. Cartridge constantly jammed. Faxes lost Power faulty Too many problems to think about. Has telephone handset and works with Telstra fax stream Everything Worst thing I ever bought Do yourself a favour and buy a brother. Choice a printer that has individual colour cartridges. Look for the print speed and reliability factor.

Bad – It was okay to begin with, but it didnt really take muych time before we had hassles with it. Mainly weird priniting, and scanning didnt come out that well. I wouldn't buy it again. The main page for printing was easy to understand. I could adjust pictures and rearrange them for printing. At the time I had Lexmark, it didn't have a compatible discount ink, so it was expensive to buy replacement ink.

Terrible – I went throough four of these the first one would continuely freeze up the panels lights would all light up and i could not turn it off unless i pulled it out of the wall. I could not make a call from the machine which is decieving when there is a handset, however i could recieve a call and that was crap as it was very "tinny" As if the person… Read more

was talking into a tin can.

The cartridges are ridiculously exspensive why i am unsure!!.

After returning the thrid one i finally got one that works ok, i vow never to buy another Lexmark again, and this year i will be investing in something better. cheap and can send a fax screen freeze's sometimes if you turn the computer on it will start iteself up but then won't shut off even after you turn pc off, uses so much ink quality is CRAP alignement is somethiing that you can achieve with this machine

Terrible – unless you dont connect it to your pc, it works great. otherwise, use your money and get a canon/hp/epson. I bought a canon mp160 and its working marvelous!! one to one on site replacement. onboard fax, copy and scan very fast. cheap AIO. scanning to your pc does not work. ended up with nothing. printing 3 pages ended up with 50 pages. sometimes printer freezes halfway. d/c main powersupply to restart printer. expensive print catridges.
