Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can I use Ethernet for color Letter duplex print/scan/copy, both-sided feeder scanning, a flatbed, AirPrint, PIN release and fax at 5,000 monthly pages?
Yes with earlier references enabled, compatible software/shared networking and the additional configured analog phone service. Letter supports both required scanner routes, print duplex and the included main drawer.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I select it for 9,000 routine monthly printed pages because marketing mentions 10,000?
No for the selected recommended-volume requirement. The detailed exact table gives a 6,000-page recommended maximum, separate from the conflicting paragraph and duty figure.
Explore this need in the finder →Can the glass scan intact Legal originals as well as the reversing feeder?
No. Legal supports the ADF, but the glass explicitly excludes it; requiring both routes cannot be satisfied by substituting the feeder.

The Lexmark CX417de combines automatic two-sided printing with a reversing document feeder, color copying and analog fax. Exact US part 28DC550 has a 4.3-inch touchscreen and a conventional 250-sheet main paper drawer. Its useful supported arrangement is a shared office document routine, provided the actual computer software and separate telephone setup fit.
One source conflict matters to that choice: the detailed monthly recommendation is 800–6,000 printed pages, while a generic marketing paragraph says that it can easily print up to 10,000 monthly. Use the specific table for ordinary workload planning and keep the separate 75,000-page maximum duty figure distinct. Lexmark marks the model discontinued, so the real unit's condition, region and support also need checking.
Reversing capture is different from the flatbed
The included 50-sheet RADF automatically turns originals over to capture their second side. It is not a single-pass scanner. Letter, Legal and A4 have positive feeder support. The glass instead supports Letter and A4 and explicitly excludes Legal. A general 8.5-by-14-inch maximum should not be copied to every scanner route.
Use the feeder for suitable ordinary multipage documents, and the glass for books, small items, photos or thin originals according to the instructions. Simplex scanning is declared at up to 32 Letter sides per minute or 30 A4 sides per minute for black or color. Reversing duplex scanning is separately 14 Letter or 13 A4 sides per minute. The physical mechanism and those mode declarations should remain separate from printer output.
Output speed and the base paper package
One-sided Letter printing is declared at up to 32 pages per minute in black or color. Automatic print duplex is separately 15 Letter sides per minute for each. Those are manufacturer ratings rather than measurements from this article. Complex documents, repeated short jobs and special media can change how a real work queue relates to the continuous rating.
The base package supplies a 250-sheet drawer and one-sheet manual feeder, quoted as 250+1 on the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm basis. Letter, Legal and A4 support the drawer and automatic duplex. The plus-one source is not a second normal stack. Suitable envelopes use a separate one-sided manual routine with the media settings matched to the load.
Maximum input of 1,450+1 requires optional duo input and another drawer. The duo adds a 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, rather than arriving automatically with this de package. Confirm the actual accessories, supported furniture and driver settings before depending on expanded input. Additional drawers do not raise the detailed monthly recommendation.
Computer scanning and fax use separate connections
The exact US record explicitly names USB or network-connected computers as scan destinations. The original guide describes a network scan profile and a separately conditioned Scan to Computer routine. Check current driver, browser and application compatibility for the chosen method instead of inferring scanning merely from a USB socket.
Analog fax additionally needs the LINE connection to a suitable active analog phone service, plus fax name, number and answer settings. Its declared 33.6-kbps modem does not make Ethernet or USB the fax transport. Verify the office's real service arrangement rather than assuming that any VoIP connection is equivalent.
Gigabit Ethernet is included, while Wi-Fi requires optional MarkNet hardware. A same-part manufacturer page explicitly names AirPrint for iOS on suitable shared networking. Mopria availability for the exact configuration remains unestablished here and should be confirmed if essential. Compatible Print and Hold separately supports a computer-set four-digit PIN and panel release using memory; a generic mobile print action need not submit an equivalent protected job.
Supplies and installation
US supplied toner is declared at 1,400 black pages and 750 for each color. Specific higher-yield replacements include 71B1HK0 black at 6,000 pages and 71B1HC0, 71B1HM0 and 71B1HY0 colors at 3,500 each under ISO/IEC 19798. These are the 71B supplies rather than the CX410's 80C record. Match geographical restrictions and Return Program conditions, keeping imaging/developer components separate.
The body is 17.48 inches wide, 21.99 deep and 18.44 high at 60.25 pounds. Allow scanner, loading and service access, inspect the actual electrical label and cord, and verify the complete offered configuration before judging physical fit or relying on its documented functions.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Maker maximum 32 one-sided Letter print pages/minute black/color; automatic print duplex separately 15 Letter sides/minute for each. Scanning separately 32 Letter/30 A4 simplex sides per minute and 14 Letter/13 A4 reversing duplex sides per minute, black/color. No measured throughput is claimed.
Paper handling
Base input is a 250-sheet drawer plus one-sheet manual feed, quoted as 250+1 at 20 lb/75 gsm. Letter/Legal/A4 support the main drawer; per-size ordinary stack is 250. Suitable envelopes use a separate one-sided manual routine. Optional paper hardware is not included. Included print duplex supports Letter/Legal/A4. Optional 650-sheet duo and another 550-sheet drawer can reach 1,450+1; neither is included.
Scanning arrangement
Included 50-sheet RADF reverses originals for automatic two-sided scanning; not single-pass. Letter/Legal/A4 support the feeder. Glass supports Letter/A4 but explicitly not Legal. Exact US page supports USB or network computer scanning. Included analog fax hardware is declared at 33.6 kbps. It requires the separate LINE connection to a suitable active analog phone service and fax name/number/answer setup. Ethernet or USB computer printing/scanning does not itself transport analog fax, and generic VoIP compatibility is not promised.
Computer and mobile connections
Included USB Type-B computer connection, gigabit Ethernet and front Type-A for separate supported routines. USB/network computer scan destinations are explicit. Wi-Fi requires optional MarkNet hardware. Shared-network AirPrint does not come from a USB-only cable; no included Wi-Fi Direct setup is established.
Supplies and declared yields
US supplied black toner is declared at 1,400 pages and each color at 750. Replacements include 71B1HK0 black 6,000 and 71B1HC0/71B1HM0/71B1HY0 colors 3,500 each, with lower-yield 71B10 black 3,000/colors 2,300 separately listed. ISO/IEC 19798 declarations, regional restrictions and Return Program terms apply. Imaging/developer components remain separate; do not substitute the CX410 80C range.
Software and support
The exact scoped guide documents compatible Print and Hold, a computer-set four-digit PIN and Held Jobs panel release. Ordinary protected jobs use memory; an optional disk is not required for that routine. Check current driver/application/firmware support, since a generic mobile print button need not submit an equivalent protected job. Same-part manufacturer material explicitly names AirPrint for iOS on a suitable shared network. Exact Mopria availability is unestablished and should be confirmed if essential.
Electrical edition and setup
Earlier exact US reference. Verify actual part, regional supplies and current compatible software. Nominal mains input is not established; inspect the real electrical label and proper cord. Body measurements exclude scanner access, loading/service clearance and extended guides. Specific monthly recommendation is 800–6,000, conflicting with generic marketing up to 10,000. Use the detailed range for ordinary workload; 75,000 maximum duty is separate.
