Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can an office duplex Legal documents over Ethernet with PIN release, 650 included sheets and 90,000 routine monthly pages?
Yes with compatible protected-job software and the documented office installation. Legal supports included input and automatic print duplex; the recommended maximum is 100,000 monthly pages.
Explore this need in the finder →Can the base machine provide 1,000 included sheets because its headline maximum is 4,400?
No. Standard input is 650 sheets. Reaching a larger capacity requires an actual supported optional-drawer configuration.
Explore this need in the finder →Can I use included Wi-Fi for automatic Letter duplex printing?
No supported included Wi-Fi arrangement is established. Wireless is optional; automatic duplex does not supply a radio.

The Lexmark MS825dn is a monochrome office printer whose useful distinction is the combination of integrated automatic duplex and a substantial declared monthly workload. The exact US configuration is part 50G0300. Its standard package includes a 550-sheet main drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder; neither the large optional input maximum nor a picture of extra drawers tells you what a particular offer supplies.
Lexmark identifies this as an FCC Class A device not intended for residential or domestic environments. Evaluate it as an office installation with suitable space and access. The official US page has no observed discontinued banner, so this is a current reference; that status does not verify stock, current service terms or the condition of any individual printer.
Separate one-sided speed from duplex output
The maker declares up to 70 black Letter pages per minute for one-sided output. Automatic two-sided output has its own maximum of 42 Letter sides per minute. These are separate mode ratings, rather than a promise that a duplex document will run at the simplex figure. Short jobs, application rendering and the intervals between users' submissions can also change the relationship between an engine rating and completed work.
The detailed monthly recommendation is 5,000–100,000 pages. Maximum duty is 350,000 pages, a different metric for exceptional capacity. A generic marketing paragraph calls 350,000 a recommended monthly figure. Use the exact model table for ordinary planning and retain that conflict when checking an unusually heavy application. A paper capacity maximum also cannot replace a recommended-volume limit.
The standard paper arrangement is 650 sheets
The supplied 550-sheet drawer and 100-sheet multipurpose feeder total 650 sheets at the stated 20-pound or 75-gsm basis. The original guide positively supports Letter, Legal and A4 in those inputs and in the automatic duplex path. Envelopes have their own one-sided multipurpose routine; matching the media size and type settings remains part of setup. Automatic duplex for ordinary Legal paper does not mean duplex envelope handling.
Expanding toward 4,400 sheets requires optional drawers and a supported physical arrangement. The guide requires the 2,100-sheet drawer at the bottom and a caster base when it is installed. It also limits output-accessory combinations, including a restriction against combining the staple and hole-punch finisher with other output options. Confirm the whole assembly, support furniture and driver's installed-options settings before relying on an expanded configuration.
Wired networking can still serve mobile devices
Standard connections are USB Type-B for a computer, gigabit Ethernet and a front Type-A interface for supported separate routines. Wi-Fi appears as a MarkNet option. It is not supplied merely because a phone can print to this model: the guide documents AirPrint and Mopria on a suitable shared network, allowing the mobile device to reach an appropriately connected wired printer.
Confidential printing uses a compatible Print and Hold or Job Routing submission with a user name and four-digit PIN, followed by release at the printer. The guide includes the MS825's non-touchscreen controls. Ordinary confidential jobs do not depend on an optional disk, but the exact driver and application must support that submission. A generic mobile print operation should not be assumed to create an identical protected job.
Check supplies, physical fit and actual function
The specific US supplied-toner field declares 11,000 pages. Replacement options include 55,000-page 58D1U00 Return Program or 58D0UA0 regular cartridges, 35,000-page 58D1X00, 15,000-page 58D1H00 and 7,500-page 58D1000. These are declared yields under ISO/IEC 19752, not a running-cost calculation. Check the geographical cartridge restriction and Return Program conditions. The separate imaging unit has an estimate based on specified job and coverage assumptions, rather than a guaranteed maintenance interval.
MS825 is explicitly print-only black-and-white hardware. Generic copying language, AirScan operating-system names or an ADF roller in an accessory catalogue do not provide scanning, copying or fax. The 2.4-inch color LCD is a control display; it does not enable color output. The body measures 16.85 inches wide, 20.1 deep and 17.5 high at 56 pounds, excluding the access and optional hardware your installation needs. Verify the electrical label and cord, then choose the supported office printing arrangement that fits the real workload.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
Manufacturer maximum 70 one-sided black Letter pages/minute; automatic print duplex separately 42 Letter sides/minute. These are distinct declared modes, not measured throughput.
Paper handling
Included 550-sheet main tray plus 100-sheet multipurpose feeder, combined 650 at 20 lb/75 gsm. Letter/Legal/A4 support both inputs and integrated automatic print duplex. Suitable envelopes use a separate one-sided MPF routine. Maximum 4,400 input needs optional supported drawers; 2,100-sheet option requires caster base and bottom placement. Finishing accessories have combination restrictions and are not included.
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
Included USB Type-B computer connection, gigabit Ethernet and front Type-A flash-drive interface. Wi-Fi is an optional MarkNet installation, not included. AirPrint/Mopria use a suitable shared network; no Wi-Fi Direct arrangement is established.
Supplies and declared yields
Specific US supplied-cartridge field: 11,000-page Return Program toner. US 58D1U00 Return Program/58D0UA0 regular replacements each 55,000 pages; 58D1X00 at 35,000, 58D1H00 at 15,000 and 58D1000 at 7,500. Declared toner yield per ISO/IEC 19752; actual use varies. Match region and Return Program terms. Separate 58D0Z00/58D0ZA0 imaging unit estimate: 150,000 on stated job/coverage assumptions, not a promised replacement interval.
Software and support
The exact-model guide documents compatible Print and Hold/Job Routing jobs with a user name and four-digit PIN, then release at the non-touchscreen control panel. Ordinary confidential jobs do not require an optional disk. Confirm current driver, application and firmware compatibility; a generic mobile print button is not necessarily the same protected-job submission.
Electrical edition and setup
Exact US model is an FCC Class A device, not intended for residential/domestic environments. Nominal mains input remains unestablished; inspect the actual electrical label and correct cord. Body dimensions exclude working clearance, optional drawers and output hardware.
