Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Lexmark MS820 Series is actually for
Most equipment pages just tell you what a device 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
offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.
Best fit
Pick this if...
You run a department of 25-75 people that needs 55 ppm mono throughput with the fastest first-page-out in this class — 4.5 seconds.
You print 5,000-25,000 pages a month — Lexmark's recommended monthly volume.
You're a wired shop — Gigabit Ethernet standard, internal card slot for accessories.
You want a tested workhorse for transactional or backoffice printing where every second of FPO matters.
You're standardizing on the MS820 chassis across multiple departments.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
You print 25,000-40,000 pages a month — the 250K duty cycle has headroom but the MS911de (300K, A3-capable) is the right step.
You can live without a touchscreen — the 2.4-inch color LCD handles routine alerts; security menus are slow.
You need expansion — supports up to 4,400-sheet input with optional trays.
You're upgrading from an older MS810/MS812 — direct chassis successor with faster FPO and updated firmware.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
You need color — this is mono only.
You need scan, copy, fax — print-only. The MX822 is the MFP version with ADF and finishing.
You print over 40,000 pages a month — MS911de or a fleet of smaller units is the right call.
You need A3 — letter/legal only on this chassis. MS911de adds 12x18 / SRA3.
You need a touchscreen — 2.4" non-touch LCD only. The MS632dwe at 50 ppm has a 4.3" e-Task touch panel if that matters more than the extra 5 ppm.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Lexmark MS820 Series (current shipping config: MS821dn) is a heavy-duty monochrome laser printer for departments of 25-75 people printing 5,000 to 25,000 pages a month. It runs 55 ppm at 1200 x 1200 dpi with class-leading first page out at 4.5 seconds and integrated duplex standard. Paper handling is 650 sheets standard (550-sheet tray + 100-sheet multipurpose feeder), expandable with optional 250 / 550 / 2,200-sheet trays up to ~4,400 sheets total. The 2.4-inch color LCD is non-touch. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0 (Type A front + Type B rear), and an internal card slot for accessories like Wi-Fi (Marknet) standard. At 17.5 x 16.85 x 20.1 inches and 56 lb, the chassis sits between the MS620 desktop class and the floor-standing MS911. The thing buyers regret: skipping the optional finisher when they need stapled output. The MS821dn doesn't have inline finishing; if you need stapling on a high-volume mono workhorse, look at the MX822ade (MFP with optional staple finisher) or step up to the MS911de.
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.

FAQ
Lexmark MS820 Series, common questions
The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.
Yes, the Lexmark MS820 Series ships with a starter toner cartridge yielding approximately 7,500 pages. Replacement options include standard (7,500 pages), high-yield (15,000 pages), extra high-yield (35,000 pages), and ultra high-yield (55,000 pages) cartridges.

The Lexmark MS820 Series is a monochrome printer designed for high-volume output (5,000–25,000 pages/month) at 55 ppm, while the CS530 Series is a color printer suited for smaller volumes (800–3,500 pages/month) at 35 ppm. The MS820 supports larger paper capacity (up to 4,400 sheets) and higher-yield toners (up to 55,000 pages), whereas the CS530 offers color printing and wireless connectivity standard. For small offices needing color, the CS530 is ideal, but for high-volume monochrome needs, the MS820 is the better choice.
The Lexmark MS820 Series is ideal for small businesses with moderate to high print volumes (5,000–25,000 pages/month) due to its fast 55 ppm speed, expandable paper capacity, and high-yield toner options. However, as a monochrome-only printer, it may not suit businesses requiring color. For color needs or higher volumes, consider commercial options like the Lexmark CS530 Series.
No, the Lexmark MS820 Series is a monochrome-only printer. For color printing, consider alternatives like the Lexmark CS530 Series, Lexmark CX525ade, or Lexmark CX825de.
