Lexmark MX811 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark MX811 Printer Review

Let it never be said that offices don't have enough choices when it comes to a multifunction laser printer. The Lexmark MX811dtfe comes in a surprisingly large number of configurations, which include the MX811, MX811de, MX811dte, MX811dxe, MX811dfe, MX811dme, MX811dtme, MX811dxfe, and MX811dxme, each of which comes with variations of paper capacity, memory, and finishing options. The same Lexmark MX811dtfe printer toner is compatible with each model, however, keeping things simple in at least one aspect.

The MX811dtfe includes duplexing as a built-in feature, for easy two-sided printing that can also conserve paper use. It can print at speeds of up to 63 pages per minute, fax at about 3 seconds per page, and do duplex scanning at speeds of up to 72 sides per minute. The fast scanning speeds rely on the roomy automatic document feeder that can hold and scan up to 150 pages at a time.

Most major operating systems are supported, and networking is built-in, for connecting and sharing among an office full of users. The real standout feature might be its large, 10.2 inch full-color touch screen, however, which makes controlling and using the device a simple process. It features large icons for easy access to important features, and common workflows can be stored in memory for fast retrieval.

When it comes to replacement toners, the price of Lexmark MX811dtfe toner cartridges may seem a bit high, but they have very high page yields. The standard Lexmark MX811dtfe toner cartridges can provide up to 6,000 pages. High-capacity Lexmark MX811dtfe toner, however, can provide up to 25,000 and 45,000 pages, making the cost per page around 1 cent.

With so many configurations available, the biggest challenge with the MX811dtfe is choosing which will work best. Once the selection is made, users will benefit from the unit's fast speeds, great touch screen interface, and flexible upgrade options.
