Limitations

The Lexmark XM1242 is a monochrome printer, which limits its use to black-and-white printing only, not suitable for color document needs.

The device may present a higher initial investment compared to basic printers, which can be a barrier for very small businesses.

Despite its multifunction capabilities, it lacks some advanced finishing features such as stapling or hole punching.
