Auto-document Feeder
Auto-document Feeder
Auto-document Feeder
And did I mention the Auto-document Feeder
This thing is a Joke, if you plan on Scanning/Copying/Faxing anything at all get a different printer. The first one I got didn't work at all, after calling Lexmarks Tech support department (a waste of 2 hours), they mistakenly sent me a Pro 205 to replace my Pro 905, wasted another hour (and of course several more days) with their support dept. and finally received a proper replacement, which I will admit worked better, though not well.
The autodocument feeder does not recognize a single sheet of paper by its self, you have to open the flatbed and place it in manually. I know it sounds so terrible... however if you place a stack of paper there, it consistently takes multiple sheets, and almost always leaves the last sheet there.
If this is a scan, then you have to start at the beginning and in order to avoid frustration as it will continue to take multiple sheets, you just wind up placing each document individually into the flatbed.
If this is a Copy then you have to go through your document and see what pages didn't copy and redo them and then reorder your copied document.
If this is a Fax then you are going to have to call the person you faxed and see what pages they missed and resend those.
If you try to Scan/Copy/Fax something that is not a perfectly flat, pristine document (ie a mail piece) you better iron it first, any kind of bend or fold and the auto-document feeder will not recognize that it exists...
Unless you want to waste all your time opening and closing the document lid scanning/copying/faxing pages one by one, this printer is not for you.
If you can care less about the scanning/copying/faxing function and want a printer that is slower with poorer quality than its competitors and has terrible support... This is it!
I have spent countless hours being jacked around by their tech support, i cannot return it to the store purchased from as the serial number doesn't match the one on my receipt thanks to their swap. They promise to return calls and never do. They promise a refund but tell me it will take 5 to 7 weeks to process. So now after buying a Lexmark I will be out of a printer for almost 3 months.
I know its Shiny, but if you wish to copy/scan/fax then Move on!Get more detail about Lexmark Platinum Pro905 Business Class Wireless 4-in-1 with Web-enabled Touchscreen.
