Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark C2240 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a solo professional or 2-5 person team that needs color print only — no scan, no copy.
  • You print 200-1,000 color pages a month for proposals, marketing flyers, or internal use.
  • You want the 4.3-inch touchscreen for secure release and quick job navigation.
  • You'll add a 550-sheet drawer so reload frequency drops to weekly.
  • You need gigabit Ethernet and don't mind buying Wi-Fi as an option.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're replacing an older Lexmark CS510 or CS720 and want a current-gen drop-in.
  • It's fine if your color quality bar is enterprise (RFPs, marketing) not press-grade.
  • It's fine if your B&W pages are the majority and color is reserved for specific jobs.
  • It's fine if you're already a Lexmark managed-print customer.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you also need scan/copy — get the XC2235 MFP.
  • Skip this if your color output goes to clients who color-match against Pantone — get a digital press.
  • Skip this if your monthly color volume is under 100 pages — a smaller HP or Brother color saves money.
  • Skip this if you need 50 ppm or more — the C4150 is the next step up.
  • Skip this if you need tabloid color — look at the C6160 or XC9-Series.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark C2240 is a 40 ppm color A4 single-function laser for personal-class to small-office use — solo professionals, design freelancers, marketing teams of 2-5 needing color print without copy or scan. 4.3-inch touchscreen, standard duplex, 250-sheet input expandable to 900 sheets, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi. Lexmark's Unison toner produces consistent enterprise-grade color (not press-grade — for proofs and internal output, not client deliverables that get color-matched). The 1 thing buyers regret: assuming color CPP scales like B&W. It doesn't. A 4-color page on the C2240 costs roughly 4x a B&W page. If you print 500 color pages a month for client work, that's fine. If you accidentally print 500 mostly-color pages a month because everything in your office gets sent in color by default, you'll see it on the toner bill. Set color quotas via Lexmark's print release. The other regret is forgetting this is print-only — the XC2235 is the MFP version.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Been using this for our small office for about a year now. Color output is solid and the paper tray capacity saves me from refilling constantly. Toner costs are reasonable if you buy the Lexmark cartridges on sale."
  • "Does what it's supposed to do. Print quality is good for documents and basic color work. The touch screen interface took me a minute to figure out but it's fine once you know where things are."
  • "Replaced an older HP with this and it's been reliable so far. Network printing works without drama and it handles our mixed workload of black and color jobs. Good size for the desk space we have."
