Overview
The Lexmark CX833se is a colour A4 multifunction printer that brings together printing, copying, scanning, and fax capability in a single, configurable machine. Designed for mid-to-large workgroups with demanding output requirements, it delivers vivid colour at speeds of up to 55 pages per minute on A4 media, with first-page-out times as fast as 7.1 seconds for monochrome and 8.2 seconds for colour. Print resolution reaches up to 1200 × 1200 dpi, and professional colour features including PANTONE calibration ensure accurate, consistent output for everything from standard office documents to marketing brochures, booklets, and posters.
Scanning and Workflow
Single-pass two-sided scanning drives productivity, with duplex scan speeds of up to 240 sides per minute in both monochrome and colour. The automatic document feeder accommodates up to 300 sheets, making short work of large batch jobs. Built-in workflow solutions allow users to scan paper files directly into cloud-based storage systems and even translate documents into over 100 languages automatically. The platform integrates with critical business systems and supports both Lexmark and third-party solutions for more tailored workflows. Fax functionality is available via Fax Server, Fax Over IP, etherFAX, or an optional analogue modem.
Touchscreen Experience
A 25.6 cm colour touchscreen provides a tablet-like, button-free interface with easy-to-follow navigation. Whether configuring complex scan destinations, adjusting colour settings, or managing fax jobs, the large display keeps every option clearly visible and within easy reach. Day-to-day maintenance is equally straightforward, with one-handed toner replacement, easy-to-reach serviceable areas, and alerts that are simple to understand.
Paper Handling and Finishing
The CX833se ships with a 550-sheet tray, a 150-sheet multipurpose feeder, and a 500-sheet output bin for a standard input capacity of 700 sheets, expandable to 4,750 sheets through optional trays including a 2,000-sheet tandem tray and a 1,500-sheet high-capacity tray. Automatic duplex printing comes as standard. For organisations that need professional finishing, optional accessories include a 500-sheet staple finisher, a 1,250-sheet staple hole-punch finisher, a 2,250-sheet booklet staple hole-punch finisher, a folding paper transport unit, and an offset stacker. The device supports a broad range of media types including card stock, labels, envelopes, and glossy paper.
Toner and Supply Yields
High-capacity cartridges yield up to 47,700 pages in black and 46,900 pages in colour, dramatically reducing the frequency of supply changes and keeping the cost per page low. Imaging units are rated at up to 225,000 pages for black and 250,000 pages for colour, reinforcing the device's suitability for high-volume environments with a recommended monthly page volume of 7,000 to 50,000 pages.
Performance and Durability
Engineered to last seven years or more, the CX833se is built around a durable steel frame with long-life components. It ships with 4 GB of RAM and a standard Intelligent Storage Drive, with an optional 500 GB hard disk available for heavier workloads. The maximum monthly duty cycle reaches 270,000 pages, placing it firmly in the high-volume category. Every aspect of the device is designed and manufactured under Lexmark's core technology ownership, ensuring all components work together seamlessly.
Security
The CX833se is built on Lexmark's Secure by Design philosophy. A standard Trusted Platform Module provides authentication, system integrity checks, and cryptographic capabilities. Security protection spans the full document lifecycle — on the device, over the network, and at every point in between — and the device can be updated with the latest security enhancements as threats evolve.
Connectivity
Standard connectivity includes Gigabit Ethernet, USB 2.0, and built-in 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi with Apple iBeacon support. Optional fibre Ethernet, parallel, and serial interfaces are available for specialised environments. As an IoT-enabled device, the CX833se can connect to Lexmark Cloud Services for predictive servicing, automatic supplies replenishment, and broader fleet management.
Sustainability
The printer meets strict global standards for energy efficiency, consuming just 0.82 kilowatt-hours per week in typical use. Lexmark's industry-leading use of post-consumer recycled materials and the award-winning Cartridge Collection Programme support circular economy principles, helping organisations minimise their environmental impact throughout the product lifecycle — from design through use, end of life, and beyond.
For workgroups that need a versatile, high-volume multifunction device with enterprise-grade security, professional finishing options, and exceptional supply yields, the Lexmark CX833se delivers sophistication without complexity.
