¹ Recommended Monthly Page Volume is a range of pages that helps customers evaluate Lexmark’s

product offerings based on the average number of pages customers plan to print on the device each

month. Lexmark recommends that the number of pages per month be within the stated range for

optimum device performance, based on factors including: supplies replacement intervals, paper loading

intervals, speed, and typical customer usage.

² Maximum Monthly Duty Cycle is defined as the maximum number of pages a device could deliver in

a month using a multi-shift operation. This metric provides a comparison of robustness in relation to

other Lexmark printers and MFPs.

Notes: The Claim Values above specifies the maximum throughput, in Pages Per Minute (PPM),

based on resolution and media size. For media sizes smaller than A4 and Letter, throughput is reduced

to protect the printer from thermal damage. Speeds values can be up to and as fast as the rated

speeds above.

Media Options: MS71x/MS81x

 Terminology Change: What used to be Drawers are now called Trays. What used to be

Trays are now Tray Inserts.

 Tray Inserts are now offered as an option so that customers with space and/or budget

constraints can afford getting an additional paper tray (insert) to hold alternate media.

 The MS71x and MS81x Paper Handling and Furniture Options are not downwards

compatible.

 All media and furniture options for other current and legacy printers (T65x, T64x, etc.) are not

compatible with the MS710 and MS810 Series.

 Most media sizes can be fed via the standard and optional input trays, so the following input

options are no longer offered: Envelope Feeder, Special Media Trays (SPMTs) and

Universally Adjustable Trays (UATs). For challenging media, a special separator roller may

be available by special request only.

 The Duplex Unit is no longer offered as an external option.

The authoritative tables of maximum Printer Paper Options/Furniture combinations are publicly available

at www.lexmark.com/multifunctionprinters.

rear paper guide are selectable in the Paper Size menu. Select Universal setting or turn off Tray Size Sensing in the

Configuration Menu if your paper size does not appear.
