THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

The Lexmark MS810dtn is built around a high-volume monochrome queue: Lexmark rates it up to 55 pages per minute on Letter paper and recommends 3,000 to 50,000 pages per month. Its distinguishing point is the dtn configuration's 1,200-sheet standard input, including a second 550-sheet tray, plus a 550-sheet output bin. This is an office machine whose capacity only helps when a real shared workload needs it; current condition and lifecycle support are not established by the saved specification.

Consider it for

A busy wired office with repeated high-volume mono jobs, automatic two-sided output, and room for a substantial printer..

Look elsewhere if

It is a poor fit for occasional home printing, color output, copy or scan tasks, fax, or a buyer who cannot accommodate and verify a large legacy office printer.

Pros & cons

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

What works in its favor

  • Lexmark specifies up to 55 ppm Letter output and integrated automatic duplex.
  • The 550-sheet main and included additional trays plus a 100-sheet feeder make 1,200 standard input sheets.
  • The 3,000–50,000 page recommendation clearly identifies a high-volume workgroup role.

What to weigh up

  • Its 250,000-page monthly duty-cycle figure is a maximum, not an appropriate recurring workload target.
  • The saved packet does not establish current lifecycle, supplies, service, or the condition of any offered unit.
  • The dtn is a wired USB and Gigabit Ethernet configuration; built-in wireless is not established.

What the features mean for you

Capacity matters only for a real office queue

Lexmark's recommended monthly range begins at 3,000 pages and extends to 50,000, which places the MS810dtn far beyond a casual desk printer. A department that regularly sends large black-and-white packets can benefit from that workload class. For a household or small office printing a few hundred pages, the large chassis and supply system add complexity without solving a frequent problem. Decide from the actual monthly queue and shared users, not from the separate 250,000-page duty-cycle maximum, which describes a ceiling rather than a recommendation.

The dtn suffix brings an included second tray

The MS810dtn has a 550-sheet main tray, an included additional 550-sheet tray, and a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, for 1,200 sheets of standard input. Lexmark's MS810de packet documents a different base tray arrangement, so the dtn suffix matters when comparing a listing. Its 550-sheet standard output bin also provides more room for long jobs. Treat these as features of the exact dtn configuration, and confirm the part number 40G0410 on the machine or seller documentation before paying for a used unit.

Fast monochrome output with automatic duplex

Lexmark rates the MS810dtn at up to 55 pages per minute on Letter paper and lists integrated automatic duplex. This combination is relevant to offices that distribute recurring reports, invoices, and internal forms on both sides. Duplex removes the manual paper-turning step, while speed helps explain the model's intended class. The manufacturer rate remains a maximum under test conditions; complex documents, first-page timing, network load, and setup can change an actual job. It is not a guarantee that every office will see 55 pages each minute.

A straightforward wired shared setup

Lexmark lists Gigabit Ethernet and USB 2.0 for this model, allowing a wired network share or a direct local connection. The saved exact-model material does not establish built-in Wi-Fi, so a wireless requirement should not be treated as met by the dtn. A managed office should confirm that its print server, drivers, security policy, and available ports fit the intended setup. Those checks concern the buyer's own environment and the specific unit; the source packet does not validate current compatibility with a particular network or computer.

Distinguish the dtn from adjacent variants

Lexmark's saved documentation identifies the dtn as a configuration with a 2.4-inch color LCD and the included second 550-sheet tray. The closely related MS810de instead has a larger 4.3-inch touchscreen and lacks that standard included tray in its packet. A seller title that says only MS810 is not enough to establish the dtn configuration. Check the full suffix and U.S. part number, and verify that the second tray and intended paper path are actually present on the individual machine.

Lifecycle and ownership need their own checks

The source packet does not establish whether Lexmark currently supports the MS810dtn, whether replacement parts or supplies are easy to obtain, or whether a particular marketplace unit is operational. The historical ASIN B00Q2B7J46 also remains unverified for exact-model identity. Use the tagged model-and-part-number search as a search, not a direct product claim. Ask the seller for the full part number, a working print sample, page count, included toner details, and return terms, then check current supply and service availability independently before committing to a high-volume role.

What else to compare

The HP M402dne is a smaller wired monochrome option with a 350-sheet standard input and 750–4,000 page recommended range. It makes more sense when the MS810dtn's 1,200-sheet supply and high-volume rating would go unused.
