Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
In an office, can I print monochrome Legal duplex documents over Wi-Fi at 18,000 monthly pages, with 650 included sheets and AirPrint?
Yes, with earlier models enabled and suitable shared networking. The exact US dw configuration includes Wi-Fi and both input sources support Legal; Class A nonresidential conditions apply.
Explore this need in the finder →Can it scan originals because the page refers to a feeder and color LCD?
No. The feeder is a paper input for printing, and the LCD is a control display. The exact hardware is explicitly print-only monochrome.
Explore this need in the finder →Can the base machine hold 1,000 A4 sheets without adding drawers?
No. Included input is 650 across the main drawer and multipurpose feeder; the 2,300-sheet maximum depends on options.

The Lexmark B2650dw is an earlier monochrome printer reference for an office that wants Wi-Fi and a substantial main paper stack in the base package. It includes a 550-sheet drawer plus a 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. Lexmark explicitly identifies the US machine as an FCC Class A device not intended for residential or domestic environments, so office placement is part of the fit.
The original research lead was Canadian part 36SC471; the exact US page separately confirms the same part, US specifications and supply choices, and marks it discontinued. This reference does not establish current stock, coverage or an offered unit's condition. Confirm the actual label, regional cartridges, installed options and usable software rather than treating an English-language source alone as proof of the US edition.
Print rate and routine workload
Lexmark declares up to 50 one-sided Letter pages per minute in black, with automatic print duplex separately at 24 Letter sides per minute. The Canadian record also distinguishes A4 figures. Keep paper sizes and output modes separate when comparing rates. These are manufacturer specifications rather than measurements from this article, and actual short or complex jobs can take longer than a continuous-page headline suggests.
The recommended monthly range is 2,000–20,000 printed pages. The separate maximum duty cycle is 175,000 pages. Use the recommendation for routine planning and consider how often the supplied paper and compatible toner need replenishing. A high ceiling and wireless access do not turn the printer into a suitable choice for an unlimited workload.
Included input and the optional maximum
The 650-sheet standard total combines the 550-sheet main drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder at the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm paper basis. Both accept Letter, Legal and A4, with positive automatic duplex support for those ordinary sizes. The original guide distinguishes a 60–90-gsm duplex range from the wider media-weight range accepted by the alternate input.
Use the multipurpose feeder's one-sided routine for suitable envelopes, with paper size and type set correctly. If it holds alternate media, the full ordinary-paper total is no longer loaded at once. Optional drawers can expand maximum input to 2,300 sheets; verify the actual combination, installation support and driver configuration before depending on it. None is an extra supplied base drawer.
Use the documented wireless configuration
The exact dw part and repeated model-specific statements affirm included 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. Standard interfaces also include gigabit Ethernet and USB Type-B for a computer, plus a separate front Type-A flash-drive input. A dn box-name line on the page is inconsistent with the exact dw identity and explicit radio specification; confirm the offered unit rather than treating that typo as a change of model.
AirPrint and Mopria use suitable shared networking, while direct computer printing and flash-drive printing are different routines. Check current software. The guide's confidential-job menu describes held jobs in memory, but a complete exact submission and panel-release procedure needs confirmation if protected collection is essential. Do not substitute a nearby model's workflow solely because its panel looks similar.
Supplies and physical scope
Lexmark explicitly classifies B2650 as print-only black-and-white laser hardware. The 2.4-inch color LCD is a control display. The multipurpose feeder feeds printing paper; it is not a document scanner. There is no copier, fax or paper-original capture hardware in this exact printer.
Supplied toner is declared at 5,000 pages under ISO/IEC 19752. Exact US B261U00 Return Program or B260UA0 regular replacement reaches 15,000 pages, with B251X00 at 10,000, B241H00 at 6,000 and B231000 at 3,000. Match geographical and Return Program conditions, keeping the imaging unit separate. The larger MS621 toner limit is not transferred to this model.
The US body specification is 15.7 inches wide, 14.7 deep and 11.9 high at 34.8 pounds, before working clearance. Check the actual electrical label and correct cord. Choose the B2650dw when its supported office setting, included radio and main stack fit; compare supplies and optional expansion as exact package choices.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Maker maximum 50 one-sided Letter pages/minute black; automatic print duplex separately 24 Letter sides/minute. Canadian source also distinguishes A4 figures; none is substituted for Letter. No measured performance claimed.
Paper handling
Included 550-sheet main drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, combined 650 at 20 lb/75 gsm. Both support Letter/Legal/A4, with automatic print duplex for each. Maximum 2,300 requires optional drawers. Envelopes use separate one-sided MPF loading; feeder capacity for paper is not scanner hardware.
Scanning arrangement
Explicitly print-only monochrome laser hardware. No paper scanner, copier, fax or document feeder; generic driver or software lists do not add hardware.
Computer and mobile connections
Standard USB Type-B computer printing, gigabit Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and front Type-A flash-drive input. Exact dw part and repeated included wireless statements corroborate radio despite a dn box-name typo. AirPrint/Mopria use suitable shared networking as documented by original exact-family guide.
Supplies and declared yields
Supplied toner declared at 5,000 pages under ISO/IEC 19752. Exact US B261U00 Return Program or B260UA0 regular replacement reaches 15,000; B251X00 is 10,000, B241H00 6,000 and B231000 3,000. MS621 25,000-page supplies are not borrowed. Separate 56F0Z00/56F0ZA0 imaging unit has its own 60,000-page estimate and usage basis. Match region and Return Program conditions.
Software and support
Original guide covers network AirPrint/Mopria and separate flash-drive printing. Confidential-job menu confirms memory-held jobs but a complete exact submission/panel release workflow remains unestablished here; verify before relying on protected collection. Check current software compatibility.
Electrical edition and setup
Exact US 36SC471 is explicitly FCC Class A, not intended for residential/domestic environments. US configuration and body dimensions separately verified from the original Canadian lead. Nominal electrical input unestablished in read sources; inspect actual rating label and cord. Allow access and service clearance.
