This technology also extends the life of the printer's components, resulting in lower maintenance costs and increased reliability. Additionally, Lexmark’s Smart Solutions software enhances user experience by enabling customized workflows and easy access to printing options directly from the device.

In terms of connectivity, both the Lexmark 321 and 323 cater to modern work environments with USB and Ethernet options, as well as mobile printing capabilities. Users can print directly from their smartphones or tablets, making it easier to manage print tasks on the go.
