Instead, the unit's simple control panel includes a button to power the device on and off and an alert LED to notify of a print error.

The device also lacks a color LCD, which is a standard photo-centric feature in higher-end models that provides access to popular functions and editing tools. As it is a dedicated photo printer, it would have been nice if the device incorporated a computer-free connectivity option like memory card slots or a PictBridge-compatible port. Users will need to place the Z715 in close proximity to their computer since its sole connection option is a wired USB port. Just because it is simple and can only handle low volumes doesn't mean the device isn't worth a look, however, as it offers an easy-to-use design that can print sharp output for a low price. Due to its lackluster output speeds of around 17 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 10 pages per minute for color, the Z715 is intended to handle occasional small jobs.

The Lexmark Z715 is an inkjet device that specializes in printing photos, but can also handle personal jobs such as text for school papers or graphics for presentations.
