Monochrome laser printer for small workgroups
The Lexmark MS331DN is a monochrome laser printer built for small workgroups that need fast, reliable black-and-white output. It prints up to 38 ppm on A4 and 40 ppm on Letter, with a first page out in 6.2 seconds. A 2-line APA monochrome LCD display provides basic status and menu navigation. Standard connectivity includes USB 2.0 Type B and Ethernet 10/100BaseTX (RJ-45) for wired network integration.
Suited for wired offices.
This printer suits offices that rely on a wired Ethernet connection and do not require Wi-Fi or mobile printing protocols. It handles plain paper, envelopes, labels and card stock with a standard input of 350 pages and a maximum of 900 pages. Automatic duplex printing is included. Buyers who need wireless connectivity, colour output, or higher monthly volume than 50,000 pages should look at other models.
38 ppm A4 print speed defines throughput
The single specification that decides fit is the 38 ppm A4 black print speed, which sets the pace for daily document production. Supported by 600 x 600 dpi resolution and 256 MB of standard memory, it processes PCL 5c, PCL 6, PostScript 3 and PDF 1.7 emulation. The 50,000-page monthly duty cycle marks the upper limit for sustained use.
