Q. What print quality is the Lexmark PrinTrio Photo?
A. With up to 4800 x 1200 dpi resolution, and a small drop size, the PrinTrio Photo produces 35mm quality prints and can handle your photo printing needs. The PrinTrio Photo works great on any type of paper, but for premium quality output try using special photo paper, like Kodak Premium Picture Paper, or JetPrint Photo Paper.
Q. What easy to use features does the Lexmark PrinTrio Photo P3150 have?
A. Offers the following easy to use features: built-in memory card reader, quick and easy set up, PrecisionSense technology achieves optimum results with automatic cartridge alignment and paper type sensing, Accu-Feed paper handling system virtually eliminates paper jams, Lexmark photo editing software allows you to easily make minor edits to your photos.
Q. How do I make copies?
A. The easiest way to make a single copy is to first make sure your PrinTrio Photo is connected to your computer and both are turned on. Place the document you want copied on the scanner. Close the lid, then hit the “Color Copy” or “Black Copy”. That’s all there is to it! If you’d like to make multiple copies, open our intuitive PrinTrio Photo software (included in the box) to quickly and easily choose up to 99 copies.
Q. Why is it called "PrinTrio Photo"?
A. The PrinTrio Photo has the power to do a "Trio" of functions: print, copy and scan. The PrinTrio Photo produces 35mm photo quality resolution using 6-color inks and has the ability to produce borderless prints (on select paper sizes). And best of all, it's very simple. With its integrated, easy-to-use operator's panel, you'll be able to scan or copy documents at the touch of just one button!
Q. What is 48-bit scanning?
A. Simply put, more bits mean more detail. 48 bit scanning means bringing out all the full, rich detail in the photos you scan or copy for friends and family.
Q. What is a flatbed scanner?
A. A flatbed scanner (which is the type of scanner on a Lexmark PrinTrio Photo) has a hinged lid under which you can scan photographs, single sheets of paper or 3D objects such as magazines, books, etc. Another type of scanner is a sheetfed scanner (see our X125 or X6170 for this type of scanner), which can feed multiple pages of standard size paper, and is best for multiple page faxes, copies or scans. A sheetfed scanner does not allow you to scan 3D objects.
