Key Advantages
The Lexmark 28DC050 offers robust and durable construction, ensuring longevity in demanding office environments. Its high-speed output supports efficient operation in high-volume printing scenarios. The printer’s 9-pin printhead provides clear and legible text, maintaining print quality over time. Compatibility with multiple paper types including multi-part forms enhances its versatility. Its buffer memory allows seamless processing of complex print jobs without interruptions. Additionally, the parallel interface allows for straightforward connectivity with a variety of older systems.
Limitations
This model's impact dot matrix technology produces lower print resolution compared to modern laser or inkjet printers, resulting in less crisp output. Noise level during operation is relatively high, which may disrupt quiet office environments. The 128 KB memory is limited for today's data processing needs and restricts complex graphics printing. The parallel port interface is outdated, lacking support for USB or network connections, limiting flexibility in modern office setups. Supplies such as ribbons and spare parts can be increasingly harder to source due to the model’s age. It does not support color printing, restricting its use to monochrome documents only.
