Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CX860 Series is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer 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 sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department or central copy room serving 60-150 people that needs 60-ppm color and headroom.
  • You print 15,000-40,000 pages a month — recommended monthly volume is 5,000-50,000.
  • You scan two-sided originals constantly — the 150-sheet single-pass DADF runs at full speed both sides.
  • You need a 10-inch e-Task touchscreen for kiosk workflows, full Workpath deployments, or multi-language UIs.
  • You need finishing — staple finisher, booklet finisher, and stapler/stacker options are all available.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 50,000 pages a month — top of recommended range.
  • You're upgrading from a CX825 — same chassis, faster engine and higher duty cycle.
  • You want Wi-Fi — add the MarkNet N8370 adapter; not standard.
  • You're cross-shopping the CX920 — if you don't need 11x17 (tabloid), the CX860 saves money on a smaller chassis.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) — letter/legal only. Get the CX920, CX930, or CX940 for A3.
  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — overbuilt; the CX730 is the right fit.
  • You don't have a copy-room footprint — this is a 32-inch-tall machine that weighs 289 lb.
  • You don't need 60-ppm speed or 350,000-page duty cycle — the CX825 saves money on the same chassis.
  • You print mostly black-and-white — get a mono MX820 or MX830 for half the toner cost.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CX860de is an A4 color laser MFP for departments and central copy rooms serving 60-150 people that need 60-ppm color throughput, a 350,000-page monthly duty cycle, and a 150-sheet single-pass duplex ADF. It holds 650 sheets standard (expandable to 4,500), pairs a 1.6 GHz quad-core controller with 2 GB of RAM standard, and Lexmark recommends 5,000-50,000 pages/month. First page out is 6.5 seconds in both black and color, and the single-pass DADF scans two-sided originals at full speed. The 10-inch e-Task touchscreen handles kiosk workflows, multi-language UIs, scan-to-SharePoint, held jobs, and full Workpath app deployments. Finishing options include staple, booklet, and stapler/stacker. The thing buyers regret: assuming this does A3. It does not — letter/legal only. If your team needs 11x17 tabloid output, the CX920, CX930, or CX940 is the right call (and the chassis is bigger). For high-volume A4 color in a copy-room install, the CX860de is the top of Lexmark's CX-series lineup — anything heavier than this is the CX900 series with floor-standing chassis and tabloid support.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Been using the CX860 for about a year in our small marketing office and it handles the color printing volume we throw at it without complaint. The finishing options are solid and the toner costs are reasonable compared to what we were paying before."
  • ★ "The machine itself works well and prints fast, but the learning curve on the touchscreen interface was steeper than I expected. Once you figure it out though, the workflow features save time. Would recommend for mid-sized teams."
  • ★ "Replaced our aging HP with this Lexmark and the improvement in speed and output quality is noticeable. Network setup was straightforward and support has been responsive when we had questions about the advanced copy features."

Yes, the Lexmark CX860 Series ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner yields up to 55,000 pages for black and color.
