Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark C4342 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 print 1,500-15,000 color pages a month for a 5-15 person team.
  • You need 42 ppm in both color and B&W to keep the queue moving.
  • You want auto duplex, NFC tap-to-print, and Wi-Fi for modern office workflows.
  • You need a 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass for occasional envelopes or specialty media.
  • You don't need scan, copy, or fax on this device.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you handle envelopes through the bypass occasionally.
  • It's fine if you need optional hard drive support for secure print release.
  • It's fine if you ship with starter toner and add high-yield later.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need scan, copy, or fax — get the XC4342.
  • Skip this if you only print 500 pages a month — the C2326 or C2335 is right-sized.
  • Skip this if you need 50 ppm or faster — go to the C4352.
  • Skip this if you need stapling or booklet finishing.
  • Skip this if you need a built-in hard drive standard, not optional.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark C4342 is a 42 ppm color A4 laser printer for mid-to-large workgroups doing 1,500-15,000 pages a month. 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 4.3-inch color touchscreen, standard duplex, 5,000-page CMYK toner cartridges with high-yield replacements available, 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass, optional hard drive, NFC for tap-to-print, ENERGY STAR + EPEAT Silver. First page out 6.4 seconds B&W and 7 seconds color. This is the right printer for a 5-15 person team that prints color daily and needs the throughput to keep the queue moving. The 1 thing buyers regret: buying single-function when half the team also needs to scan. The XC4342 multifunction version is the same engine plus scan, copy, and fax — and at workgroup volumes the MFP almost always pays for itself. Buy the C4342 only if you're certain nobody will need to scan or you have a separate scanner station that handles it.
