Overview

The Lexmark E120 is a compact monochrome laser printer primarily designed for office environments requiring reliable printing with moderate volume. It utilizes a 600 x 600 dpi resolution laser engine, delivering crisp black and white output suitable for text documents. The printer supports a print speed of up to 14 pages per minute, which was competitive during its release period. Connectivity options include parallel and USB interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of desktop computers. The device has a standard input paper capacity of approximately 150 sheets with an additional multipurpose tray for different media types. It incorporates a laser xerographic print technology using an alloy drum mechanism to maintain consistent print quality over extended use.

The E120 supports standard page description languages, including PCL 5e, enabling reliable print job processing. It runs on a 32-bit RISC processor with 8 MB of RAM, which can be expanded to 40 MB to improve handling of complex documents. The toner cartridge yields approximately 3,000 standard pages before replacement is necessary. Its compact design allows for easy placement in limited office spaces while maintaining effective performance.

Key Advantages

The Lexmark E120 offers fast printing speeds suitable for small office needs. Its monochrome laser technology ensures sharp and clear text output. The printer’s compact footprint saves valuable desk space. It features a relatively straightforward user interface and setup process. The device supports USB connectivity, making it easy to connect to most computers. Additionally, its consumables, such as toner cartridges, have a decent page yield, reducing operating costs.

Limitations

The Lexmark E120 supports only black and white printing with no color capabilities. Its paper tray capacity is limited compared to modern printers, requiring frequent refills for high-volume tasks. The maximum monthly duty cycle is moderate, which may not be sufficient for large office environments. It lacks advanced networking features such as Ethernet or wireless connectivity. The supported resolution is lower than current standards, limiting photo or graphic print quality. Firmware and driver support for modern operating systems may be limited or discontinued.
