Our verdict

A fast, workgroup sized black laser printer with automatic duplex and Ethernet. It only prints, and the input tray is small for the volume it is rated to handle.

Overview

Printing long black and white jobs for a busy desk or small team is the job here: the Lexmark laser runs pages fast and prints both sides automatically. It connects over USB or Ethernet and is controlled from a touchscreen.

High print speed and a heavy duty rated monthly volume suit an office that prints all day. It has no scanner, copier or color, and the single small tray means frequent refills at its rated volume.

Who it's for

Teams that print reports, invoices and forms in bulk get a quick, dependable engine. Home users wanting scanning or color pages need an all in one instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Very fast black printing
  • Quick first page out
  • Automatic two sided printing
  • Ethernet for shared office use
Cons
  • Print only, no scan or copy
  • Single tray limits paper on hand
  • Wireless connection not listed

Performance notes

Laser engines fuse toner with heat, so speed stays steady through long jobs without ink drying time. Duplex is built into the paper path, so two sided pages need no manual flip. Paper capacity, not engine speed, limits unattended runs on large jobs.
