THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Lexmark's U.S. MS810dn page describes a monochrome laser printer for print-only work, rated up to 55 pages per minute on Letter. Standard features include automatic duplex, a 550-sheet tray plus 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, USB, and Gigabit Ethernet. Wireless networking requires an optional adapter rather than being built in. Lexmark's current page and its earlier MS810 specification sheet disagree on the recommended monthly maximum: 50,000 versus 20,000 pages. Both list a 3,000-page starting point, so preserve that minimum while leaving the ceiling unresolved.

Consider it for

A wired office that needs high rated mono output, automatic duplex, and substantial standard paper input, and can plan workload around the verified 3,000-page recommendation floor..

Look elsewhere if

Avoid this model if built-in Wi-Fi, multifunction copy or scan work, or an undisputed recommended monthly maximum is required.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The 55 ppm Letter rating and integrated duplex support a fast wired mono print workflow.
  • Its standard 650-sheet input combines a 550-sheet tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder.
  • Both reviewed Lexmark sources place the recommended monthly range's lower bound at 3,000 pages.

What to weigh up

  • Wireless is an optional adapter path, not a standard built-in interface on the dn configuration.
  • Lexmark's official sources conflict on the recommended monthly maximum, so the top of the range remains unknown.
  • A print-only design does not provide copy, scan, or fax functions.

What the features mean for you

Is the dn configuration the networked duplex model?

Lexmark identifies the MS810dn as a monochrome print-only printer with integrated automatic duplex and Gigabit Ethernet. USB is also listed, and the dn configuration provides wired networking for a shared office. Wireless is different: Lexmark describes it as an optional adapter, so do not treat Wi-Fi as standard equipment. That distinction helps separate a network-ready wired setup from an adapter-dependent wireless one. Confirm the full model suffix and any included accessory before choosing an offer, especially when an office's device policy expects a wireless connection.

Will the rated speed and paper reserve help your queue?

Lexmark rates the MS810dn at up to 55 pages per minute on Letter. Its standard input is 650 sheets, made up of a 550-sheet tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. These are manufacturer specifications rather than a measured guarantee for every print job, but together they describe a machine aimed at a shared queue with less frequent paper replenishment. The separate feeder can keep a second paper type available. Confirm that both components are present on an individual unit, and do not confuse the paper reserve with the maker's monthly workload guidance.

How should you handle the conflicting volume ceilings?

Lexmark's current U.S. product page gives a recommended monthly range of 3,000 to 50,000 pages, while the earlier official MS810 specification sheet gives 3,000 to 20,000. Both sources support a 3,000-page lower bound, but they disagree materially on the maximum. The profile therefore records 3,000 as the minimum and leaves the maximum unknown instead of choosing the more favorable number or substituting maximum duty cycle. A buyer who needs an approved ceiling for procurement should verify the exact current documentation with Lexmark before relying on a volume cap.

Does a wired connection fit the office?

Gigabit Ethernet supports a wired shared connection, and the listed USB port allows a direct host connection. Wireless is optional through an adapter. If an office needs Wi-Fi without adding hardware, another model with documented built-in wireless is a better fit. If Ethernet is acceptable, confirm that the port, network protocol, and operating-system drivers suit the current environment; older enterprise printers can require setup work even when the interface is documented. The sources describe the model's original equipment, not whether a used device or optional adapter is included or functioning.

What does print-only ownership mean here?

The MS810dn is listed as a printer rather than an all-in-one, so copying, scanning, and faxing require separate equipment. That focused design can make sense in a department whose main need is fast monochrome output, duplex reports, and a larger paper reserve. Its workload recommendation's lower bound suggests a workgroup role, while the unresolved maximum limits precise planning. Check consumables, firmware and driver support, network configuration, and the unit's return terms. The technical sources establish capability and rated figures, not current stock, price, or the condition of an offered printer.

What else to compare

Choose a built-in Wi-Fi printer for a cable-free setup, or another high-volume model if procurement requires a single confirmed monthly ceiling.

Before you buy

Does the MS810dn have standard Wi-Fi?

No. Lexmark describes wireless networking as an optional adapter; Gigabit Ethernet and USB are listed standard interfaces.

How much paper does the standard input hold?

Lexmark lists 650 sheets total: a 550-sheet tray and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder.

What monthly maximum should a buyer use?

The current Lexmark page and earlier official sheet conflict; both show a 3,000-page minimum, but the maximum remains unresolved.
