Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can a USB computer use Legal duplex and PIN release at 7,000 monthly pages with 300 sheets?
Yes with earlier references enabled and compatible protected-job software. The exact model and named guide support that arrangement.
Explore this need in the finder →Can a compatible Apple device use confirmed AirPrint through the shared Ethernet network?
Yes. The exact US page names AirPrint; network discovery, firmware and compatible device conditions still apply.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the 100,000-page maximum duty rating cover a regular 8,000-page monthly requirement?
No. Recommended monthly volume ends at 7,200 pages; maximum duty is separate.

The Lexmark MS415dn fits a workgroup that needs monochrome duplex output and a documented confidential-job routine. Exact US part 35S0260 includes gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-B, a parallel interface and a 2.4-inch color LCD with keypad. The display is for status and operation; printed output remains monochrome.
The original research lead used a Latin American page, while an independent Lexmark US page identifies this exact part and package. Lexmark marks the model discontinued. Check the real offered unit, installed options and regional consumables rather than assuming every printer with a similar front panel has the same capabilities. This reference describes original documentation, not present stock or hands-on testing.
A confidential job needs the right submission routine
The original user guide explicitly includes MS415 in its confidential-print chapter. A four-digit PIN is set at the computer and entered at the printer to release the protected job. The keypad and display make that a documented local routine, but the submitting driver and application still need to support it.
Held-job expiration and memory conditions matter. A saved job may be removed when resources are needed, so this is not a promise of indefinite document storage. Check the complete submission and release process with the intended software. An ordinary mobile print command does not necessarily expose the same confidential-job controls.
Use the recommendation, then the relevant speed mode
Recommended monthly volume is 750–7,200 pages. Maximum monthly duty is separately 100,000 pages. That differs from the MS410's duty figure, but it still does not extend this model's regular recommendation beyond 7,200. A recurring 8,000-page requirement should be compared with a printer whose recommended range covers it.
Maximum one-sided Letter speed is declared at 40 pages per minute. Duplex is separately 18 Letter sides per minute. Use the figure for the actual printing mode rather than assuming the simplex rating describes two-sided completion. Complex documents, repeated short jobs and special media can change how rated output relates to an ordinary workday.
Three hundred included sheets, with optional expansion
The base package has a 250-sheet drawer and 50-sheet multipurpose feeder, totaling 300 sheets on the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm basis. The scoped paper table supports Letter, Legal and A4 in both inputs and the automatic-duplex path. A suitable combined load can use both sources, but it is not one large enclosed drawer.
Set the guides, paper size and type for the actual media. Matching settings control tray linking; distinct settings can keep special stock separate. Legal paper extends the drawer guide beyond the base, increasing operating depth. Allow room to load, collect output and service the printer rather than measuring only the closed body.
Suitable envelopes use the multipurpose feeder in a separate one-sided routine. Envelope support does not authorize main-drawer or automatic-duplex feeding. One optional 250- or 550-sheet second tray can expand input, with 850 maximum using the larger option. Verify installed hardware and driver configuration before relying on that total.
Networking and exact US supplies
AirPrint is explicitly named on the US model page and can use suitable shared networking while the printer connects by Ethernet. A MarkNet Wi-Fi radio is optional. Confirm the intended device, firmware and network discovery, and do not assume built-in wireless or a Wi-Fi Direct arrangement from the mobile-printing claim.
The original US starter toner is declared at 3,000 pages. Listed 50F replacements include 1,500-, 5,000- and 10,000-page options under ISO/IEC 19752, with a separate 60,000-page imaging unit and its own conditions. Match cartridge region and Return Program terms. The body is 15.7 inches wide, 15.0 deep and 10.3 high at 31.2 pounds. Inspect its electrical label and allow working clearance. Choose different hardware for scanning, copying or fax.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Manufacturer maximum 40 one-sided Letter pages/minute; duplex separately 18 Letter sides/minute. Declared modes, not measured application results.
Paper handling
Included 250-sheet main tray and 50-sheet multipurpose feeder total 300 at 20 lb/75 gsm. Letter, Legal and A4 fit both inputs and automatic duplex. Set matching size/type and guides; Legal loading extends the main tray beyond the body. Suitable envelopes use a separate one-sided multipurpose routine. One optional 250- or 550-sheet tray is not included; maximum with 550 is 850.
Scanning arrangement
Print-only monochrome laser hardware, without document scanning, copying, fax or an ADF. A color display or mobile software does not add those functions.
Computer and mobile connections
Included gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-B computer and parallel interfaces. Optional MarkNet N8352 radio is not included. AirPrint uses suitable shared networking; no Wi-Fi Direct configuration is established.
Supplies and declared yields
US supplied Return Program toner 3,000 pages. Listed 50F1000 1,500; 50F1H00/50F0HA0 5,000; 50F1X00 10,000 under ISO/IEC 19752. Separate 50F0Z00/50F0ZA0 imaging unit 60,000 uses different job/coverage conditions. Match regional cartridges and Return Program terms.
Software and support
2.4-inch non-touch color LCD and keypad; named MS415 guide chapter documents computer-set four-digit PIN and panel release, with held-job expiration/memory conditions. Verify compatible driver/application for confidential jobs. Exact Mopria certification is unestablished; mobile printing is not automatically PIN submission.
Electrical edition and setup
Exact US configuration is separately established. Nominal mains input remains unestablished in the read sources; inspect the actual rating label and correct cord. Body dimensions exclude extended Legal guides, loading and service clearance.
