Lexmark XM7270

Top of Lexmark's 7-Series A4 B&W MFP lineup at 70 ppm. The XM7270 is built for 10,000-30,000 pages a month — high-volume back-office work, batch printing, statement runs, mortgage packages, claims processing. Same 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF, same 7-inch touchscreen, same input options as the XM7263, just with the engine and fuser tuned for the higher speed. The 1 thing buyers regret: scaling up to the XM7270 because of duty cycle when speed is what they actually needed (or vice versa). The XM7270's bigger story is consumables and service intervals; the speed bump from the 7263 is small in real-world mixed use. If your volume is high enough for the XM7270 to make sense, you're probably also a candidate for a floor-standing MS9-Series or MX9-Series with finishing options. The other regret is forgetting that 70 ppm A4 still bottlenecks on tabloid layouts — if your workflow has any 11x17 documents at all, look at the XC9-Series.
