Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark X740 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...

  • Pick this if you can buy refurbished at a real discount and accept end-of-life status.
  • Pick this if you need 3,000-8,000 color pages a month with light scan volume.
  • Pick this if the 7-inch touchscreen and e-Task workflow meet your operator needs.
  • Pick this if 4,300-sheet input expansion would let you skip refills.
  • Pick this if security (IPSec, SNMPv3, 802.1X) is a procurement requirement.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you mostly print mono with occasional color reports.
  • It's fine if your scan volume is light and 50-sheet ADF is enough.
  • It's fine if your office network is wired Ethernet primarily.
  • It's fine if Hibernate Mode covers your energy-saving needs.
  • It's fine if you can keep paper sizes to standard A4/Letter/Legal.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you're buying new — the CX725 is the modern equivalent with current support.
  • Skip this if your monthly volume is over 10,000 color pages — step up to the CX820.
  • Skip this if you need A3 / tabloid output — get the X950 or CX825.
  • Skip this if your service contract economics depend on long-term parts availability.
  • Skip this if you need a tablet-style modern touchscreen UI.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark X740 Series (X748DE) is a 35 ppm color MFP for small to mid-sized workgroups: 2,400 x 600 dpi print, 600 dpi scan, 9-second first page out, 50-sheet ADF, 250-sheet output, and a 7-inch color touchscreen with the e-Task interface. Standard input starts at 650 sheets, expandable to 4,300 sheets, and the X748dte variant adds a 1,200-sheet drawer plus optional 160 GB hard drive. Connectivity covers Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi, IPSec, SNMPv3, and 802.1X security. ENERGY STAR qualified with Hibernate Mode. It's an older platform now but solid for offices doing 3,000-8,000 color pages a month. The catch buyers admit to: the X740 line is end-of-life from Lexmark, so consumables and service contracts are tighter than they used to be. If you're shopping new, the CX725 is the modern equivalent with a faster processor and current support. If you're buying refurbished at a steep discount, the X748DE is still a workhorse.

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.
