Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CS331DW 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 small to medium office of 10–30 people and need reliable color output for flyers, proposals, and reports.
  • You print 600–2,500 pages a month and want a machine that stays within the optimum duty cycle without extra costs.
  • You require automatic duplex printing to keep paper usage low and preserve your paper budget.
  • You need a single‑function color laser that supports a variety of media – from plain paper to glossy stock – and fits on a small desk.
  • You want integrated Wi‑Fi and Gigabit Ethernet so employees can print from laptops, tablets, or mobiles with zero configuration.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 2,000–4,000 pages a month — the CS331dw will handle it, but you’ll be approaching the upper limit of its recommended duty cycle.
  • You need a slightly slower first‑page output if you’re working on tight deadlines; it still comes in under 11 seconds.
  • You desire Wi‑Fi connectivity but only single‑band 802.11b/g/n is fine as long as you have the cabling for saturated traffic.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print fewer than 600 pages per month—color toner sets will still incur a high cost without enough volume to justify them.
  • You need high‑volume printing over 50,000 pages per month—this model will begin to wear out its components.
  • You want to add scanning or copying functions—this is a single‑function printer, not a multi‑function device.
  • You require 11×17 or larger tabloid printing—this machine’s maximum legal size caps at 8.5×14.
  • You rely on wireless networking only and a single‑band Wi‑Fi connection is insufficient for a large, high‑traffic office—you’ll need Ethernet.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CS331dw is a compact color laser printer built for small to medium workgroups. Its standout features include up to 26 pages per minute in both black‑and‑white and color, and automatic duplex printing that keeps your workflow moving. The machine’s 250‑sheet input tray and 100‑sheet output bin handle moderate print volumes with ease. Worth knowing before you buy: the CS331dw is rated for a maximum duty cycle of 50,000 pages per month, with a recommended monthly range of 600 to 2,500 pages. First‑page output arrives in just 10.9 seconds, and the printer supports 600 × 600 dpi resolution for sharp color graphics. Connectivity comes in both 802.11b/g/n Wi‑Fi and Gigabit Ethernet, plus a Hi‑Speed USB 2.0 port for direct desktop use. Beyond printing, the CS331dw offers a fully featured control panel with a 2‑line monochrome LCD display, and supports a variety of media types from plain paper to glossy stock and envelopes. It runs PCL 5c, PCL 5e, PCL 6, PostScript 3 emulation and PCLm, giving it broad compatibility with both Windows and macOS environments. The printer’s clear toner trays are shared with the familiar 40N9123 toner cartridge family for easy maintenance.
