T420dn with several similarly priced network ready printers. The Lexmark was
found to be:
•
232 percent faster than the hp LaserJet 2200dn
•
145 percent faster than the Brother HL-1870N
•
118 percent faster than the Xerox Phaser 3400N
•
96 percent faster than the Kyocera Mita FS-1900N

Time to first page
The time span from clicking the mouse to submit a print job until the first page
emerges from the printer is the “TTFP”. Clearly, the shorter this interval is, the
better. The Lexmark T420d printer is rated at a TTFP of 10 seconds; the
competing hp LaserJet 2200 has a TTFP of “<10 seconds,” according to the
manufacturer’s own Web site.
Documentation
Included with the T420d printer is a concise printed Setup Guide. Two CD-ROMs
are also present. The first contains the device drivers and the detailed installation
guides for local and network printing. The second is a publications disc that
contains additional documentation in a variety of languages. The documentation
is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.
•
The documentation file contains links to Lexmark’s Web site, ensuring that
users are provided with the latest information and updated drivers.
