A slot in the front serves as a manual, single-sheet feeder the paper guides are adjustable but don't snap to standard page sizes. The backward slant of the output tray makes it unlikely that your printed pages will spill out, and a small piece of plastic flips out to further ensure that longer pages don't go flying.
The output tray is contained within the body of the printer and holds up to 150 pages while the design is efficient, you can't expand the output capacity. You can purchase an optional 550-sheet input drawer for $200, bringing the printer's maximum input capacity to 800 sheets. The drawer slides out without any stops, so be careful not to pull too enthusiastically lest you drop the whole tray. The automatic document feeder atop the printer can handle 50 pages, while the standard paper drawer holds 250 sheets. If you drill down without making changes, though, there is a dedicated back button to help you back out of the menus. If you want to make multiple changes at once, say, when you're setting up the printer for the first time, you'll have to hit the menu button for each change you want to make. A whirl through the menu shows a flaw that we found very frustrating: drilling down through the menu is simple enough, but when you make a change to a setting, you're automatically booted out of the menu, instead of returning to the previous level. Despite the wealth of buttons, the X342n's options are more limited than the Dell 1815dn's. The two-line LCD is backlit for easy reading in dim light. The control panel for the Lexmark X342n features a multitude of buttons, including ones to switch between functions, common options for each function, preset numbers for faxing and the standard numeric keypad, menu navigation buttons (up, down, select, back, and menu), and start and stop buttons. Overall, the Lexmark X342n is a serviceable multifunction printer at a manageable price, but in the end, you'll get more bang for your buck from the Dell 1815dn.

Additionally, the Dell 1815dn has a built-in duplexer, a USB port for scanning to or printing from a flash drive, and support for Mac and Unix machines, in addition to Windows-based PCs. The Dell 1815dn produced higher-quality text than the Lexmark, too, though the X342n bested the Dell at graphics and scans. For roughly the same price, however, the offers slightly faster performance on every task except photocopying. Two flavors are available: the X340n comes with a 2,500-page toner cartridge for a mere $349, and the X342n comes with a high-yield 6,000-page toner cartridge for $50 more (we reviewed the X342n). It combines print, fax, copy, and scan functions into a reasonably compact unit for an affordable price. The Lexmark X342n is a networkable mono laser multifunction printer aimed at home and very small offices.
