Built for Large Workgroups

The Lexmark MS821dn is a monochrome laser printer designed for large workgroups that need high-volume, single-function output. It prints up to 55 ppm with a first page out in 4.5 seconds and includes integrated automatic duplexing. A 2.4-inch colour LCD and a 4.3-inch e-Task touch screen provide direct job control at the device.

Monthly Duty Cycle of 250,000 Pages

The specification that determines suitability is the maximum duty cycle of 250,000 pages per month, with a recommended volume between 3,000 and 50,000 pages. Standard input and output trays hold 550 sheets each, and optional feeders can raise total capacity to 4,400 sheets. This capacity profile matches departments that run continuous print queues rather than occasional jobs.

Sustained Output With Long-Life Components

Under sustained load the printer maintains its rated speed through a dual-core 1,000 MHz processor and 512 MB of memory. The long-life imaging unit and fuser are engineered to reduce downtime during extended runs, while the starter toner yields 11,000 pages and high-yield cartridges 58D1000 and 58D1H00 support continued throughput without frequent intervention.

Questions about this item

What does 55 ppm mean when the printer is actually running?

What does the Gigabit Ethernet port limit in everyday use?

The 10/100/1000BaseTX RJ-45 connection caps network throughput at 1 Gbps, which is well above the data rate needed for 55 ppm print streams.

How much desk depth does the MS821dn need with its standard trays?

The base unit holds 550 sheets in the main cassette and 550 sheets in the output bin; optional drawers can raise total input to 4,400 sheets, increasing the footprint accordingly.
