Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can Ethernet computer printing combine Legal duplex, PIN release, 300 sheets and 7,000 monthly pages?
Yes with earlier references enabled and compatible protected-job software. The exact model and named guide establish that arrangement.
Explore this need in the finder →Is AirPrint positively documented for the exact 35SC260 configuration?
Yes. A manufacturer page with the same exact part explicitly names AirPrint; suitable shared networking and compatible firmware/device conditions still apply.
Explore this need in the finder →Can the base machine supply 500 included Legal sheets?
No. Included ordinary input is 250 plus 50, or 300; expansion needs an optional drawer.

The Lexmark MS417dn is an earlier monochrome workgroup printer with automatic duplex, gigabit Ethernet and a keypad beside its 2.4-inch color LCD. Exact US part 35SC260 includes a 250-sheet drawer and 50-sheet multipurpose feeder. It is a useful configuration reference for a group needing ordinary two-sided documents and supported confidential computer jobs within the recommended monthly range.
Lexmark marks it discontinued. Confirm an offered unit's exact identity, regional toner, installed accessories and usable software. The color display is a control feature rather than color-printing capability. The official hardware classification is print only, black and white; scanning, copying and fax require a different machine.
Release protected jobs using a documented workflow
The original guide expressly names MS417 alongside MS315 and MS415 in its confidential-print instructions. A four-digit PIN is set at the computer and used at the printer's panel to release the job. The useful result is that compatible protected output need not sit unattended in the ordinary output bin immediately after submission.
Confirm that the chosen driver and application can submit that type of job. Held-job expiration and memory settings also apply, and stored jobs may be removed when resources are required. Do not treat this routine as indefinite storage or assume an ordinary mobile print command exposes the same protected-job controls.
Network support has separate hardware and protocol conditions
Gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-B and a bidirectional parallel interface are included. Wi-Fi requires optional MarkNet hardware. AirPrint is positively documented by a manufacturer page carrying the same exact part number 35SC260, while the US page governs the US package and supplies. Suitable shared networking must let the compatible Apple device reach the printer.
That shared-network arrangement does not mean the printer has an included radio or a Wi-Fi Direct function. Check firmware, discovery and the intended device before relying on the mobile routine. Someone needing guaranteed Mopria operation should verify that exact protocol separately; an app name alone is insufficient evidence.
Ordinary volume, print modes and paper loading
Recommended monthly volume is 750–7,200 pages. Maximum duty is separately 100,000 pages and should not become the target for an ordinary repeated month. Maximum one-sided Letter output is declared at 40 pages per minute, with automatic duplex separately 18 Letter sides per minute. These are manufacturer mode figures rather than article measurements.
The included input totals 300 sheets on the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm basis. Letter, Legal and A4 fit both the 250-sheet drawer and 50-sheet multipurpose feeder and support automatic duplex. A suitable combined load can use both sources, provided the guides and size/type settings match the intended routine.
Legal loading extends the main drawer guide beyond the body. Allow the extra operating space, and account for the separate 150-sheet output bin during longer queues. Suitable envelopes use the multipurpose feeder on one side; they are not automatic-duplex or main-drawer stock. A second 250- or 550-sheet tray is optional, with 850 sheets maximum using the larger option.
The 51B supply distinction matters
The original US starter toner is declared at 2,500 pages. Listed replacements include 51B1000 at 2,500 and 51B1H00 or 51B0HA0 at 8,500 under ISO/IEC 19752. Those are this exact model's identifiers and capacities. Do not borrow the MS415's 50F 10,000-page option merely because the printers share a guide and similar body.
The 60,000-page imaging unit is separate and uses its own job and coverage conditions. Match regional cartridge restrictions and Return Program terms rather than assuming declared yield establishes current ownership cost. The body is 15.7 inches wide, 15.0 deep and 10.3 high at 31.2 pounds. Allow loading and service access, inspect the electrical label and compare a larger-input configuration if frequent replenishment would interrupt the work.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Manufacturer US maximum 40 one-sided Letter pages/minute; automatic duplex separately 18 Letter sides/minute. Declared modes, not article measurements.
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
Standard gigabit Ethernet, USB Type-B computer and parallel ports. MarkNet N8352 Wi-Fi is optional. AirPrint is explicitly supported by the same exact part 35SC260 manufacturer page through suitable shared networking; no Wi-Fi Direct route is established.
Supplies and declared yields
US supplied Return Program toner 2,500 pages. Exact 51B1000 replacement 2,500; 51B1H00/51B0HA0 8,500 under ISO/IEC 19752. Separate 50F0Z00/50F0ZA0 imaging unit 60,000 has its own job/coverage conditions. Match regional cartridge and Return Program terms; do not borrow MS415 50F 10,000-page toner.
Software and support
2.4-inch non-touch color LCD and keypad. Exact named MS417 guide documents four-digit computer-set confidential PIN and panel release, with held-job expiration/memory conditions. Verify compatible driver/application; mobile printing is not automatically protected-job submission. Exact Mopria certification remains unestablished.
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.
