Among the media options are transparencies, paper, labels, and card stock, with a maximum size of 8.5x14 inches.

Amazon.com Review
A fine laser printer, the Lexmark Optra M410 is a bit taller than some other laser printers, but not quite as deep, which can be a real plus in a cramped workstation. The printer weighs over 40 pounds but is not difficult or unwieldy to move around. Even getting it out of the box was a breeze--the styrofoam packing blocks are sensibly designed and allow the printer to slide easily out of the carton without needing an extra set of hands.
Setup, including the installation of the software, took less than 10 minutes. We easily loaded the toner cartridge without having to refer to instructions; the loading is so simple that it would be hard to insert the cartridge into the printer incorrectly.
The printer's operator panel displays a summary of the printer's current status, whether it is simply ready to print or is out of paper. The paper drawer can hold up to 350 sheets. (An optional adapter increases the capacity to 850 sheets.) In our tests, the M410 effortlessly printed the promised 12 pages per minute. To test the M410's paper handling abilities, we purposely fed it folded, wrinkled, and torn sheets. We succeeded in creating a paper jam (as intended) and found that it was a cinch to rectify. Thanks to the well-designed front-opening doors, we were easily able to remove the jammed paper and were back underway in less than a minute. Should anything more serious occur, you'll benefit from the generous Lexmark warranty, in which they'll replace your printer the next day if it's defective.
In addition to printing sharp text, the Optra M410 delivers consistently good saturation of blacks and presents nice, clean, and even distribution on full-page photos. This printer is a good, dependable workhorse. --David Greenberger
Pros:
Although the Optra M410 comes standard with 4 MB of memory, it is expandable up to 132 MB. An optional extra paper tray adds a capacity of 500 sheets onto this printer. This model is compatible with MS-DOS; Windows 95, 98, and NT; OS/2; Unix; Macintosh operating systems; and many others. The Optra M410 also features a one-year LexExpress warranty, where the company agrees to send an exchange printer via next-day air to replace a defective model. Cables for the Lexmark 4K00252 Optra M410 are not included.

Sharp, Speedy, Reliable.......2001-12-22
Workhorse that delivers superior results for Mac, PC.......2001-02-05
This printer delivers out of the box with great software for all platforms for configuring it. The front panel display is quite well designed for programming directly, but, even, better you can configure its Web-based interface to enter the most complex settings.
The print quality is very high, and its processing speed for complex, multi-page documents, including large images and PostScript surpasses expectations. By the time I walk to the printer down the hall from my office, it's already started spewing pages.
Recovering from jams has been a breeze as well compared to previous printers.
Another reason I chose this model: its envelope handling feature that doesn't require a separate, expensive tray. Coupled with Stamps.com's Internet postage system, my printer is a regular production machine.
As a computer book author (see Real World Adobe GoLive 5, for instance), I often have to print out hundreds of pages of previews. We ran through 10 reams of paper (over 5,000 sheets) in the space of two months when proofing our latest book, and the Lexmark never disappointed: no errors, no jams, no bad pages.
(We shredded the proofs when finished and fed it as bedding for worms - see Worms Eat My Garbage, a book on home vermicomposting. I get to eat my words, indirectly but literally. Not the worms, but via the vegetables grown in the soil the worms produce.)
The model I purchased is the M412n, which is virtually identical to this machine except that it has an Ethernet module for networking, including the AppleTalk support required to handle Apple-style printing.
I used to wrestle with printers before getting this Lexmark model, and my only two complaints are this: 1. It sometimes falls off the AppleTalk network, requiring a minimal amount of tweaking via its Web interface to reset the AppleTalk port; 2. the toner cartridge stopped producing good prints after several thousand copies, but a simple shake added hundreds of new, perfect sheets. 3. Feeding envelopes in batches requires a small amount of care. Although you can stack, for instance, ten #10 style envelopes, if they are at all sticky, the printer can feed multiples and result in one or more being poorly printed.
Hardly anything to carp about, and I highly recommend it for an office that needs to produce even several hundred pages a day of output.
