Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark MX720 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 workgroup or department of 15-50 people printing mono only.
  • You print 5,000-30,000 pages a month — recommended range is 5,000-50,000.
  • You scan multi-page two-sided documents constantly — 150-sheet single-pass DADF runs full speed both sides.
  • You want 65 ppm and 4.4-second first page out for short urgent jobs.
  • You need finishing — staple, hole-punch, booklet, and stapler/stacker options bolt on.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 50,000 pages a month — top of recommended range; the steel-frame chassis is designed for it.
  • You're upgrading from MX620 — same Lexmark UI, jumps from 50 ppm desktop to 65 ppm workgroup chassis.
  • You want Wi-Fi — add the MarkNet N8372 adapter; not standard.
  • You're cross-shopping the MX722 — MX722 is 70 ppm and adds a hard drive standard; MX721 saves money if 65 ppm is enough.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need color. This is mono only — get a CX-series MFP for color.
  • You print more than 50,000 pages a month — step up to MX822 or MX826 for higher duty and lower per-page cost.
  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — overbuilt; the MX620 saves money on a desktop chassis.
  • You don't need 11x17/A3 — confirmed, this is A4/Letter only. If you need tabloid mono get the MX910 or MX931.
  • You don't have floor or heavy-cart space — this is a 97 lb workgroup chassis, not a desktop unit.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark MX720 series (MX721ade) is a workgroup mono laser MFP for departments of 15-50 that print 5,000-30,000 pages a month and need 65-ppm speed with single-pass duplex scanning. It prints and copies at up to 65 ppm, scans through a 150-sheet single-pass duplex DADF at 130+ sides per minute duplex, and is rated for a 300,000-page monthly duty cycle (Lexmark recommends 5,000-50,000/month). Standard input is 650 sheets (550-sheet tray + 100-sheet multipurpose feeder), expandable to 3,300 with optional 550-sheet, 2,100-sheet, and 2,520-sheet HCI trays. The 1.2 GHz quad-core processor with 2 GB standard memory (expandable to 6 GB), 7-inch e-Task color touchscreen, and steel-frame chassis are why this lands in a lot of legal, healthcare, and central copy room installs. Standard connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 front and rear; Wi-Fi is optional via MarkNet N8372. The thing buyers regret: not stepping up to the MX722 when their volume justifies it — the MX722 ships with a hard drive standard and 70 ppm for not much more money. For pure 65-ppm mono workgroup print + heavy single-pass duplex scan, the MX721 is the right call.

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 running this MX720 in our small office for about two years now. Handles our print volume without issues and the duplex printing saves us a ton on paper costs. Network setup was straightforward and it integrates well with our existing systems."
  • "The scanner quality is solid and it's reliable for daily use, but the toner cartridges are pricey and the learning curve on some of the advanced features took longer than I expected. Overall it does what we need it to do."
  • "Replaced our old printer with this and honestly the speed improvement alone was worth it. Sixty pages per minute is noticeably faster for our document-heavy workflow. Paper input tray capacity is generous too."
