Lexmark recently unveiled its new brand new Lexmark Genesis S815 all-in-one inkjet printer which is the first all in one upright printer. The Lexmark Genesis printer has a 4.3 inch color touch screen display that gives you access to the printer’s controls and menus right at your fingertips. Instead of a traditional scanner, the Lexmark Genesis is vertical instead of horizontal. It uses a 10 megapixel camera and integrated system to scan photos and documents.
Lexmark Genesis Scans Differently
Lexmark has taken out the mechanical scanner that computer users are used to when using all in one printers that sweep over the page in the Lexmark Genesis S815. Lexmark has replaced that function with an electronic component that is more akin to a digital camera than a scanner which takes a flash picture of the item for scanning. Lexmark calls this technology Flash Scan. Because there is no horizontal scanner and moving copier arms, Lexmark was able to orient the Genesis’ scanner into a vertical position.
Lexmark Genesis Printing Performance
The Lexmark Genesis S815 all in one printer can print speeds of slightly over one minute for a ten page standard text document. This places the printer right in the middle of the pack for printing speed with other comparable inkjet all in one printers. Photo printing speeds of the Lexmark Genesis S815 are even better. The printer can turn out a normal 4×6 inch glossy photo just under 30 seconds and an 8×10 inch glossy photo in less than a minute. Not only was the speed of printing of the Lexmark Genesis S815 good but so was the printing quality with clear, crisp lines and graphics.
Lexmark Genesis S815 Copying And Scanning Performance
The Lexmark Genesis S815 is an incredibly fast scanner. Lexmark has utilized this new technology and made scanning extraordinarily fast. The all in one printer essentially takes a picture of the full page instead of using the traditional scanning method. The Lexmark Genesis S815 also uses a touch screen that is bright, colorful, and easy to use. The all in one printer has one of the fastest scanners on the market and can scan a single page of text in just over five seconds and a large scale photo in six pages.
Overall the Lexmark Genesis S815 is an excellent new choice for anyone looking for a solid all in one printer for home use or business use. The Lexmark Genesis S815 provides a brand new design and an incredible method of scanning that will delight both the most novice and experienced all in one printer users.
