Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
In an office, can I print color Legal duplex reports over Ethernet at 9,000 monthly pages, with 250 included sheets, 40-ppm one-sided Letter rating and PIN release?
Yes, with earlier references enabled and compatible confidential-print software. Those print, paper, volume and PIN requirements fit the documented base office arrangement. The Class A nonresidential restriction still applies.
Explore this need in the finder →Can its base package connect directly to the office Wi-Fi without a wireless option?
No. USB and Ethernet are standard; the MarkNet N8372 wireless adapter is optional. Phone printing through a suitable shared network does not establish an included radio.
Explore this need in the finder →Can the touchscreen printer scan both sides of Legal originals to a computer over Ethernet?
No. CS622 is explicitly print-only hardware. Automatic two-sided output and the color touchscreen do not provide a scanner or feeder.

The Lexmark CS622de is an earlier color laser reference for an office that wants touchscreen control, Ethernet sharing and a higher declared Letter print rate. Lexmark explicitly describes it as an FCC Class A device not intended for residential or domestic environments. That placement condition matters before comparing its compact body with printers intended for a home workspace.
The exact US part is 42C0080, marked discontinued by Lexmark. This article explains its documented configuration without claiming present stock, warranty on an offer or the condition of a particular unit. The base includes automatic print duplex and a 250-sheet main drawer. Wireless, expanded paper input and the hard disk are separately described options, so confirm the real package before valuing them.
Touchscreen control is separate from document capture
The 4.3-inch e-Task color touchscreen offers a different control interface from the smaller button-operated LCDs on nearby models. It does not change the machine's physical function: the exact CS622 support classification is print-only color laser. There is no document scanner, automatic feeder, copier or fax hardware to borrow from a similar CX multifunction model.
Lexmark declares up to 40 one-sided Letter pages per minute in black or color. Automatic duplex is separately rated at 20 Letter sides per minute. These are manufacturer specifications, not measurements from testing for this article. They should not be combined into one speed promise for mixed short jobs, specialty paper or work that also depends on application processing.
Plan workload and paper as two separate limits
The recommended monthly range is 1,500–10,000 printed pages. The distinct 100,000-page maximum duty cycle is not the everyday target. At the higher end of the recommendation, decide whether regular refilling of the included 250-sheet drawer is practical. The printer's speed or duty ceiling does not increase the size of that supplied stack.
Standard input is 250+1 on the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm paper basis: a 250-sheet main tray plus a one-sheet manual feeder. Letter, Legal and A4 are positively supported in the main tray and automatic two-sided path. Envelopes follow their own one-sided feed and media settings. The optional 650-sheet duo and an additional 550-sheet lower drawer reach 1450+1; the duo combines a 550-sheet drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder. Verify installed options and make them available in the driver rather than counting the maximum as included input.
Connect the printer and release protected jobs
A USB Type-B interface serves a directly connected computer, while gigabit Ethernet provides the included shared-network route. The front Type-A flash-drive port is a separate printing input. The MarkNet N8372 radio is optional. A phone on suitable office Wi-Fi can still use documented AirPrint or Mopria to reach the Ethernet printer, without proving that a wireless card is inside the base unit.
Compatible Print and Hold or Job Routing software can submit a confidential job with a user name and four-digit PIN for release at the panel. That ordinary procedure is documented without requiring the optional disk. Confirm current driver support and the actual release workflow. Do not assume that every mobile print application creates protected jobs or that optional disk encryption features apply to a printer with no disk installed.
Supplies and the final configuration check
The supplied toner is declared at 3,000 black pages and 2,000 pages for each color under ISO/IEC 19798. Exact US ultra-high replacements include 78C1UK0 black at 10,500 pages and 78C1UC0, 78C1UM0 and 78C1UY0 colors at 7,000 each. Match geographical compatibility and Return Program conditions. Imaging, developer and waste components are separate, and cartridge yield does not by itself establish today's running cost.
The unit body measures 17.4 inches wide, 16.6 deep and 12.1 high at 46 pounds. Allow additional space for access and any tray assembly, and check the actual electrical label and correct cord. Choose this reference for print-only work in the specified office setting. If paper-original scanning, included wireless or a large supplied stack is essential, compare an exact configuration that supplies it.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Declared maximum 40 one-sided Letter pages/minute black or color; automatic print duplex separately 20 Letter sides/minute. Specialty media and job handling may differ. No hands-on speed or quality result claimed.
Paper handling
Included 250-sheet main tray plus one-sheet manual feed at 20 lb/75 gsm, standard 250+1. Main stack 250 for Letter/Legal/A4; each supports automatic print duplex. Optional 650-sheet duo plus 550-sheet lower drawer expands maximum to 1450+1, none included. Envelopes follow separate one-sided instructions.
Scanning arrangement
Explicitly print-only color laser hardware. No scanner, copier, analog fax or document feeder; a color screen and generic software/help names do not supply scanning hardware.
Computer and mobile connections
Included USB Type-B computer interface and gigabit Ethernet; front Type-A flash input separate. MarkNet N8372 Wi-Fi is optional and not a base route. AirPrint/Mopria operate over suitable shared networking, including wired printer and mobile devices on office Wi-Fi.
Supplies and declared yields
Supplied toner declared at 3,000 black and 2,000 each CMY pages under ISO/IEC 19798. Exact US 78C1UK0 black 10,500 and 78C1UC0/UM0/UY0 colors 7,000 replacement yields. Match geographic and Return Program conditions; imaging, developer and waste components separate. Do not infer live costs from yields.
Software and support
Exact model page supports AirPrint and Mopria over a suitable shared network. Original guide pages 42–44 document four-digit confidential PIN jobs from compatible Print and Hold/Job Routing software and panel release, including non-touchscreen controls. Verify current driver/app compatibility; old cloud listings are not present service promises.
Electrical edition and setup
Exact US 42C0080 is explicitly FCC Class A, not intended for residential/domestic environments. 4.3-inch e-Task color touchscreen; optional hard disk is not included. Nominal electrical input unestablished in read sources; verify actual rating label/cord. Body dimensions exclude operating and service clearance.
