Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CX730 Series 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 run a workgroup of 15-40 people that needs in-house color print, copy, scan, and fax with 42-ppm throughput.
  • You print 4,000-12,000 pages a month and want a machine rated to 120,000.
  • You scan two-sided originals daily — the 100-sheet single-pass duplex ADF runs at 80-84 ipm.
  • You want a tablet-style 7-inch touchscreen with full Lexmark eSF and Workpath support.
  • You're upgrading from a CX625 and need more paper capacity — 650 sheets standard, 2,850 max.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 12,000-18,000 pages a month — the machine handles it but you're past the comfortable range.
  • You need finishing — Lexmark offers a stapler/stacker as an add-on.
  • You want Wi-Fi — add the MarkNet N8370 adapter; not standard on this model.
  • You're replacing a CX725 or CX727 — operators adapt to the newer firmware in a week or two.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 4,000 pages a month — overbuilt; the CX625 is a better fit.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) — letter/legal only. Step up to the CX930/CX940 for A3.
  • You print over 20,000 pages a month — get a CX820 or CX860 with higher monthly recommended volumes.
  • You don't have desktop space for a 24-inch tall MFP — this is bigger than the CX625 footprint.
  • You want a hard drive standard for OCR and held jobs — confirm the configuration; some CX730 SKUs ship without an HDD.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CX730de is a desktop A4 color laser MFP for workgroups of 15-40 people that need 42-ppm in both black and color with a 100-sheet single-pass duplex ADF. It holds 650 sheets standard (expandable to 2,850 with optional 550-sheet drawers and the 2,200-sheet HCI), is rated for a 120,000-page monthly duty cycle, and pairs a 1.2 GHz quad-core controller with 2 GB of RAM standard. First page out is 6.4 seconds black and 7.0 seconds color, scan throughput is 80-84 ipm duplex via the single-pass ADF, and the 7-inch tablet-style touchscreen runs Lexmark's full eSF and Workpath app framework. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0; Wi-Fi is an optional MarkNet N8370 adapter, around $100. The thing buyers regret: footprint. At 24.44 inches tall and 20.9 inches deep, this isn't a small-desk machine — it lives on a stand or low table. For workgroups that have outgrown the CX625 and don't need A3, this is the right next step. If you need tabloid output, look at the CX930/CX940 floor-standing series instead.

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 2 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • "Been using the CX730 in our small office for about 8 months now. The color output is sharp and the finishing options like stapling and hole punch actually save us time. Network setup was straightforward and it handles our mixed print jobs without complaints."
  • "Decent multifunction machine overall. Copy quality is good and the scanning to email feature works well. My only gripe is the toner cartridges are pricey, but the page yield is decent so it balances out eventually."
