Thanks for that news Stefan. Anybody using a Lexmark X215 and can report
results? I have not long installed one here, now that I have retired. I
expect that it will work well, as I expect that any of the contemporary
Lexmark lasers will most likely share common technology.
By the way, I visited Lexmark's headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky back in
July and have very good contacts with Lexmark here in Australia. I suspect
that I should be able to source any technical advice we might require.
Cheers
Bill
