Lexmark X63 InkJet Printer

Pros: Multi- functions; Fax is decent; Compact
Cons: Feed errors; Sucks up ink quickly; Slow speed

Every home or business office needs a printer. It’s an essential ingredient to office harmony. In addition, some offices also need a fax machine, copier, and scanner. A person can invest in separate pieces of equipment for these tasks, but another option ...

Pros: A reasonable price for all of the functions it can perform. Fairly simple to operate.
Cons: Lexmark support is rather poor. Instruction booklet vague on certain topics.

I purchased my Lexmark x63 All in one from Staples online store in May 2002. They were offering a $40 rebate at the time I purchased it and I was able to pick it up for $179 at the time ($139 after rebate).

I must say that for the most...

Pros: Versatility, Price, and Convenience
Cons: Cost of replacement cartridges. Difficult and perhaps impossible to network.

Lexmark in a few short years has become a player in the printer industry. Originally formed as a division of IBM, the company was spun off and became its own public entity with its own New York Stock exchange listing in 1995. As you might imagine, its...

Pros: Low cost, reliable fax.
Cons: Poor document feeding, multiple errors.

I've had one of these for about two years, and have experienced multiple problems. I first purchased it because it was reasonably priced for a multi function machine. It did work well for the first 4 or 5 months, except for some difficulties getting ...

Pros: Easy setup and operation
Cons: Incompatible w/ XP laptops, ink problems, poor paper feed, poor support

Don't get stuck with this multifunction printer!

I've had this printer for eight months, but I'm already looking for a replacement. After I upgraded to Windows XP, my laptop would no longer "sleep" properly, complaining that the USB port was...

Pros: gets the basic job done,performs many funtions
Cons: paper always jams, long wait time for printing to start

Performs a good deal of funtions for such a small machine. Scanning, Faxing, Copying, Color, B&W all work great. It has plenty of printing options like dual sided pages, legal/letter and custom paper sizes, landscape/portrait layout, reverse order...

Pros: ink cartridges are inexpensive
Cons: Too many problems, poor software, too many parts to break

Delivered by Staples (had another one, but previously opened missing parts, doesn't count. :-)). I was using Win98 at that time. Installed and used for a while with no problems. Within the first 90 days, the scanner eye went out and the machine was ...

Pros: Easy to install and set up.
Cons: Ink cartridges are pricey and difficult to refill.

This unit was purchased as a replacement, and an upgrade, in December 2001. In my home office I was using a scanner, and a printer/fax machine, and wasting time moving between them. I needed a machine that would: print color and b&w documents quickly...

Pros: Prints great when not generating no-help error messages that "printer is busy".
Cons: Doesn't copy, fax, or scan. Defective document feeder.

I purchased the Lexmark X63 new for $214 from Best Buy back in April 2002. After two months, the copy and fax (sending) functions completely failed. Everything went blank. Best Buy replaced with a new unit with no questions asked. New unit worked ...

Pros: Easy to use software and menus.
Cons: Print quality, speed, paper feed

I was hooked by Lexmark's low price and a $40 rebate on this machine, bad move on my part...
Although this is not the worst printer I have used, I am not impressed.

FAX -
When faxing a document more than two pages, the machine will...

Pros: Great print quality
Cons: Large, noisy

I'm writing this review strictly on the printing aspect of this unit- I haven't tried it as a fax, scanner, or copier yet.

I received this as a Christmas gift this year particularly to print photos paired with my new digital camera, and I have...

Pros: Good copier and fax for handwritten or typed documents.
Cons: Poor print quality. Scanner leaves indentions on pictures. High ink costs.

I bought the Lexmark x63 from AOL almost 2 years ago when the printer first came out. This model was one of Lexmark's first attempts in entering the all-in-one market. At the time, the x63 boasted great quality printing, scanning, and copying with a ...

Pros: Inexpensive.
Cons: Scan and copy quality are VERY poor. Cannot scan photos printed on Kodak paper.

We have owned our Lexmark X63 for about a year now, I have been consistently disappointed with its performance, particularly with the copy and scan functions. The quality of photo scans is incredibly poor, and in fact we have been unable to scan photos...

Pros: Quick, brilliant color printing, price, practical, simple to operate
Cons: Snags about 27% of memory resources with the different drivers that sits in resident memory.

I was the proud owner of the old Lexmark 2030 printer when Lexmark basically first hit the market. Since at the time, I basically stuck with only Lexmark until a strange thing happened to me. I was at a tag sale in 1999 when I purchased a used Canon...

Pros: Inexpensive, setup is easy, works properly in Windows 98, easy to use
Cons: Driver failures in Windows XP, No parallel port, does not work as network shared printer

I brought this printer over a year back. The setup was fast – I had a Windows 98 SE machine and ever ...
