Remanufacturing the Lexmark E232/330/332

On June 1, 2004, Lexmark released a new family of E-series
printers based on an entirely new print engine.These five new
printers feature a dual consumable printer that uses a separate toner and drum unit designed solely by Lexmark.
Lexmarks base model E232 prints 22ppm and sells for $199.
It replaces the old E220 machine which was only capable of
printing 18ppm. The E323t sells for $299 and is the same as
the E232 except that it has an additional 550 sheet paper tray.
At $399, the E330 prints 27ppm and replaces both the E312
and E323 machines. Lastly, the E332n and E332nt sell for $499
and $599 respectively, and are both network capable. The
E332nt comes with an extra paper tray.
In May 2004, Dell released two new machines using the same
dual consumable Lexmark engine. Dells entry level machine
the 1700 has a print speed of 25ppm and sells for $179
(I just saw it on Dells website).Dells network version, the 1700n,

has the same print speed of the 1700 and sells for $299.
IBM released two machines using this new Lexmark engine
as well. The 1412 is based on the E330 engine that prints
27ppm and, at $399, sells for the same price.The 1412n is IBMs
network version of the Lexmark E332n printer and, at $499, is
priced the same.
Standard yield cartridges and high yield cartridges are
available from all suppliers. However Dell offers a 3,000 page
standard yield cartridge while Lexmark and IBM standard
yield cartridge yields 2,500 pages at 5% coverage.
All three suppliers offer a 6,000 page high yield cartridge
and all cartridges are available in Lexmarks Cartridge Return
program. The drum units for these machines yield 30,000
pages and, according to Lexmark, many customers may not
ever need to replace the drum unit because of low monthly
usage.
