Key Advantages

The Lexmark CS521dn offers high-speed color printing at up to 30 pages per minute, suitable for busy office settings. Its LED technology contributes to lower energy consumption and sharper print quality. The inclusion of automatic duplex printing reduces paper waste and printing costs. The printer supports a broad range of media types and sizes, increasing its versatility. Network connectivity through Gigabit Ethernet ensures fast data transfer and smooth workflow integration. It features a user-friendly 2.4-inch color display for easy navigation and printer management.

Limitations

The Lexmark CS521dn has a relatively modest input capacity of 250 sheets which may require frequent refilling in high-volume environments. It lacks wireless connectivity options such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that modern offices often desire. The initial cost of replacement toner cartridges can be higher compared to some competitors. The 512 MB RAM, while adequate, may limit performance when handling extremely complex print jobs or large color documents. The printer does not support mobile printing standards like AirPrint or Mopria out of the box. Compared to multifunction devices, it only provides printing functionality without scanning or copying features.
