Versatility, easy operation, and low cost per page are the key selling points for Lexmark's four new Optra S models. While their rated speeds range from 12 to 24 pages per minute, all deliver the same excellent 1,200- by 1,200-dpi output and first-rate management software. None offers the convenience of ledger-size printing, but they're worth considering for any office that wants simplicity in setup, maintenance, and management across a variety of print speeds. The S1255n has the muscle for only small workgroups, but it's well suited for these less demanding loads. The S1625n is a good compromise for midsize workgroup needs, while the paper loads and duty cycles of the S1855n and S2455n make them contenders for large workgroups and departmental roles. We award our Editors' Choice to the S1855n because it offers the best balance between output quality, print speed, paper handling, and network manageability.
