Reliability and performance, the Lexmark way
Built on Lexmark's proven heritage for superior performance and reliability, the Lexmark Forms Printer 2500 Series gives you everything you need to achieve your true productivity potential. In addition to rapid print speeds as fast as 510 cps, these printers boast a rugged design that can handle even the most extreme environments and workloads. This includes powerful print heads that reach up to 300 million characters, and a robust MTBF of 12,500 POH*. What's more, thanks to their 2MB of built-in flash memory, you'll benefit from greater functionality than ever before, like expanded bar code support, non-volatile fonts and remote management! *Power-on hours rated at 25% duty cycle
Enter a world of versatility
Whatever you're printing, from invoices to packing slips to shelf labels, you can always count on true Lexmark versatility. Each printer comes with a handy Push/Pull Tractor, allowing you to switch between push and pull feeds effortlessly for a smooth, versatile paper feed. You can also benefit from an array of flexible paper-handling options: like an Automatic Sheet Feeder to load a stack of cut-sheet media, envelopes or multipart forms. Or a Tractor 2 to load two types of continuous forms simultaneously. Want to run longer without stopping? Then opt for the high-yield ribbons, which include automatic re-inking to reduce user intervention.
Life at the printer just got even simpler!
These forms printers are incredibly easy to use right out of the box. First, there's no Web connection needed for driver set up. Everything's on the CD, just slide it in and go! Loading ribbons and installing media options takes just seconds. And there are lots of user-friendly operational features too. The new operator panel gives you easy access to all printer functions, and includes intuitive font indicators that show you what the fonts look like. What's more, each model offers character and page counts via the operator panel (or via Web page on network models), allowing you to monitor supplies and page usage effectively!
Connect on your own terms
Connectivity features include standard Parallel and USB ports, as well as an optional internal serial port*. For even greater possibilities, benefit from our network models which include built-in Ethernet and security features such as IPSec, http, SNMPv3 and 802.1x authentication. Additionally, they support multiple protocols including IPX/SPX and TCP/IP (IPv4 & IPv6). Best of all, each network model comes with MarkVision Professional software, which gives you a simple new way to manage your printers remotely. You can configure and query your devices, update firmware and troubleshoot issues, all via a flexible, user-friendly interface. A major plus for your helpdesk!
Lexmark's guarantee to you
At Lexmark, we're always working hard to ensure you achieve maximum productivity and minimum downtime. Our Forms Printer 2500 Series includes our solid service warranty of Two-year Exchange, with a response time of next business day (in serviceable areas). For an even greater level of peace of mind, you can opt for one of our extended-warranty service offerings.

Rachel, just wanted to verify that we have both received and set up the printer. It works fine and I'm pleased with my purchase. Thanks.

Dave was super helplful, quick and professional.
Kevin Dill
The printer arrived on time and was installed without incident. It is my wife's pharmacy and the non-technical crew there got it going without even a phone call. Thanks for excellent service!
Sandra
Thanks to Dave for great tech support! I will be recommending Dave and his team to other people looking to buy computer equipment
Carl Massey
Hi,
Just wanted to say a big thank you for getting the part for my printer and sending it out, it arrived today with me and now got my printer working like new again, I am very grateful with the service you have provided me, so big thank you for everything
-Thanks
sammy green2pan
Greg, I talk you guys up at every opportunity. It make a huge difference to have the support of a business run by humans, reachable by email and phone, who care about the quality of their work and their products as I care about my own.
Not to mention, you're just nice people.
I could do a whole political rant too, about how you run a local business that employs people onshore, in the age of offshore. An actual American entrepreneurial business, distressingly rare and the value of which goes mostly unappreciated in the age of amazon and Wal-mart.
Happy Monday, and thanks again,
sammy

I really appreciated David's help with our printer problem in Baltimore. He could've dumped our problem on someone else, but he took the time to walk me through it and order the parts we need.
Thanks David and technician!
Albert Menasse
Requested a manual and technical assistance for a troublesome printer and received it instantly. Thanks Dave great response.
Sheri Maiden
Well, let me tell you - she now has fans for life!!! We are owners of a NAPA Auto Parts Store and that teeny little card was keeping us from printing our statements which run about $70 - $90K in receivable income back into our store each month! Without that part = no statement = no checks coming in = not good! You get the picture. I have only just started spreading the word to all the other store owners about your terrific company and outstanding employee you have in Sue. In fact, an owner in Texas had an order going for toner (with a completely different company) and after I told him what happened, he cancelled and will be calling her tomorrow.
In closing, I would like to say simply, thank you to your company for existing and thank you for having the good sense to hire Sue. This is one of many orders she will be receiving as a result of her knowledge, professionalism, courtesy and caring.
Respectfully,
Sheri Maiden

I say this:
My employer would better serve themselves if they would purchase from
vendors that also provides service. Had they accepted that I sought such
a vendor and recommended Argecy, we would have received better value.
Argecy, as the parts wholesaler to the retail vendor, has provided valiant
and exemplary assistance before and after we purchased parts, even though
my employer sought a vendor solely based on price, not value. Argecy
received no direct remuneration from my employer.
Argecy is recognized for their worthy service and support of our business.
Thanks very much, Dave and all at Argecy!

I did receive the printer, very quickly, too! I've not installed it yet, hopefully today. I'll call if there are any issues, though I do not expect any.
Thanks so much for the follow up, it's getting kind of rare these days!

Thank you, and your team, for getting that out so timely. It's nice to know that you not only sent it quickly, but that you sent a quality piece of equipment. It helps me feel more confident each time I order from Argecy.
