Lexmark CS963 Review: Pros, Cons, and Cost

Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

Some offices prefer to prioritize pure print performance over copying and scanning in an office.

If your teams are printing large volumes of reports or marketing materials every day, and they already have other systems handling scanning and document workflows, a multifunction printer (MFP) can feel unnecessary.

A single-function device like the Lexmark CS963 could be the solution.

We’ve worked with businesses that need an all-in-one device, and ones that opt for a dedicated print engine. This review is designed to help you decide if the Lexmark CS963 A3 color printer is the right fit for your workflow.

We’ll walk through its features, strengths, tradeoffs, cost considerations, and who will benefit most from it.

How to Fix a Printer That Won’t Scan (Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide)

Submitted by Matthew Eberhart on

If your printer can print normally but suddenly refuses to scan, it can feel like your machine is picking and choosing when to work. However, in most cases, the printer isn’t actually “broken.”

Oftentimes, scanning issues are caused by connection problems, incorrect settings, or changes in your network instead of the scanner itself. So, the solution is often simpler than it looks, if you know where to check.

We help customers with scanning issues on a weekly basis. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the most common reasons your printer won’t scan, how to fix them, and when it makes sense to call in expert help.

How to Recycle Toner Cartridges (4 Easy Ways)

Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

Most offices eventually end up with an awkward pile of empty toner cartridges, old drums, worn-out supplies, and sometimes even an outdated printer no one knows how to dispose of.

The problem is that toner cartridges are not like soda cans or cardboard boxes. Toner cartridges contain plastic, metal, electronic components, and leftover toner powder. So, most curbside recycling programs won’t be able to process them properly. If you throw toner cartridges away in a regular trash can, they can end up in landfills, where they’ll sit there for hundreds of years.

Thankfully, many businesses today are becoming more conscious of sustainability. Schools, healthcare organizations, law firms, and small businesses across North Texas are paying closer attention to their printing waste, energy use, and ways to improve environmentally responsible office practices.
