The Lexmark E350d is a monochrome laser printer designed for small or medium office use. It offers good print quality and fairly fast speeds.

The E350d features a built-in automatic duplexer, allowing for printing double-sided prints easily. It connects to a computer by USB and does not include a built-in ethernet port, though an ethernet port is available in the E350dn model. Given that it is designed mainly for small office use, lack of an ethernet port is not surprising. Network sharing is still possible with either a print server or using a PC as an intermediary for the printer.

The input tray holds 250 sheets, and the E350d also includes a single-sheet multipurpose slot for feeding other media one page at a time. The multipurpose slot allows for straight-path printing, which guards against paper jams by not bending the paper as it is fed through. The standard tray can accommodate up to legal size paper. If 250 sheets are not enough, an optional 550-sheet drawer can be added for a total capacity of 800 sheets. This allows the printer to expand to meet growing needs. It is worth noting, however, that the output tray has a capacity of 150 sheets, which may present a problem if printing extremely long documents is the aim.

The E350d includes a starter cartridge with a capacity of 1,500 sheets, but replacement cartridges are available with capacities of 3,500 or 9,000 pages. This allows the users to scale costs to meet their individual needs. The high-capacity cartridges offer the lowest cost per page, but also represent the highest upfront cost.

Print speed is quite fast, at around 23 pages per minute. Print quality is excellent, with very sharp text and decent graphics quality. As with most laser printers, the focus is on text printing, and everything else is mainly secondary.

Overall, the E350d is an impressive printer for its price and class. Its print quality and speed are good selling points. The starter cartridge is a bit of a disappointment, but makes the upfront cost of the printer more affordable.
