Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CX820 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 workgroup or department of 30-75 people that needs a 52-ppm color MFP with serious paper capacity.
  • You print 8,000-25,000 pages a month — recommended monthly volume is 2,500-25,000.
  • You scan large stacks daily — the 150-sheet ADF is bigger than the CX730's 100-sheet feeder.
  • You need 4,500-sheet max capacity — bolt on optional drawers and the 2,200-sheet HCI.
  • You want a floor-standing form factor (with optional caster base) for a copy-room install.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 30,000 pages a month — the machine handles it; the CX825 with higher recommended volume is a better fit if you live there.
  • You're new to Lexmark — operators adapt to the 7-inch touchscreen quickly.
  • You want Wi-Fi — add the MarkNet N8370 adapter, around $100.
  • You need finishing — staple finisher and stapler/stacker options are available.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) — letter/legal only. Step up to a CX920 or CX930/CX940 for A3.
  • You print under 2,500 pages a month — overbuilt; the CX625 or CX730 is the right fit.
  • You want single-pass duplex scanning — the CX820 uses a dual-pass CCD ADF. The CX825 has single-pass DADF.
  • You want a 10-inch touchscreen — get the CX825 or CX860.
  • You need 350,000-page duty cycle headroom — get the CX860.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CX820de is an A4 color laser MFP for workgroups and departments of 30-75 people that need 52-ppm color throughput, a 150-sheet ADF, and 4,500-sheet maximum paper capacity. It runs 52 ppm in both black and color, holds 650 sheets standard, and is rated for a 200,000-page monthly duty cycle (Lexmark recommends 2,500-25,000 pages/month). First page out is 7 seconds, scan destinations include email, network folder, FTP, USB, and LDSS, and the 7-inch color touchscreen runs Lexmark's eSF and Workpath frameworks. The scanner is a CCD-based dual-pass duplex unit — it scans both sides but takes two passes per sheet, which makes it slower than the CX825's single-pass DADF on heavy two-sided workloads. The thing buyers regret: assuming the CX820 does A3. It does not — letter/legal only. If your team needs 11x17 tabloid output, you're looking at the CX920, CX930/CX940 instead. If you need a 10-inch touchscreen and single-pass duplex scanning, step up to the CX825 — same chassis, better scanner, bigger screen, higher recommended volume. The CX820 is the right call when you want the chassis and capacity but don't need the upgrades.
