Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark MX420 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...

  • Pick this if you need print/copy/scan/fax in one mono machine for a 5-15 person office.
  • Pick this if you print 2,000-6,000 mono pages a month with light scanning.
  • Pick this if a 4.3-inch color touchscreen is enough for your workflow.
  • Pick this if 900-sheet expanded input would let you skip refills.
  • Pick this if you need fax built in rather than via a separate appliance.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your real volume is closer to 1,000-2,000 pages a month.
  • It's fine if you mostly print and only scan occasionally.
  • It's fine if you connect via wired Ethernet and skip the Wi-Fi kit.
  • It's fine if you can live with 6.25-second first-page-out for ad-hoc jobs.
  • It's fine if you handle envelopes through the 100-sheet multipurpose feeder.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need any color printing — get the X740 or CX522.
  • Skip this if you push 8,000+ pages a month — the MX520 or MX620 saves real money on toner.
  • Skip this if you need A3 / Ledger output.
  • Skip this if you need advanced finishing (stapling, hole punch).
  • Skip this if your team needs a tablet-style modern UI rather than e-Task basics.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark MX420 Series is a 42 ppm monochrome MFP for small offices that need print/copy/scan/fax in one machine. It runs a 1 GHz dual-core processor with 1 GB RAM, hits first page out at 6.25 seconds, prints at 1,200 x 1,200 dpi, and offers a 350-sheet input expandable to 900 sheets, integrated duplex, and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. Monthly duty cycle is rated at 100,000 pages with a 4.3-inch color touchscreen for workflow control. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, USB, and optional Wi-Fi. The honest gotcha buyers run into: this is the small-office MFP — if your team prints over 8,000 pages a month consistently, the MX520 or MX620 will be much cheaper to own with their high-yield toners. And it's mono-only, so any color need (even occasional brochures) means you're shopping for a separate color machine. Best fit is dental offices, small clinics, and 5-15 person teams doing 2,000-6,000 pages a month.

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.
