Is this the right printer for you?
Who the Lexmark C4342 is actually for
Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when
this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We
offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.
Best fit
Pick this if...
You print 1,500-15,000 color pages a month for a 5-15 person team.
You need 42 ppm in both color and B&W to keep the queue moving.
You want auto duplex, NFC tap-to-print, and Wi-Fi for modern office workflows.
You need a 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass for occasional envelopes or specialty media.
You don't need scan, copy, or fax on this device.
Works fine
You'll be happy if...
It's fine if you handle envelopes through the bypass occasionally.
It's fine if you need optional hard drive support for secure print release.
It's fine if you ship with starter toner and add high-yield later.
Look elsewhere
Skip this if...
Skip this if you need scan, copy, or fax — get the XC4342.
Skip this if you only print 500 pages a month — the C2326 or C2335 is right-sized.
Skip this if you need 50 ppm or faster — go to the C4352.
Skip this if you need stapling or booklet finishing.
Skip this if you need a built-in hard drive standard, not optional.
Full specifications
Every spec, no guessing
The Lexmark C4342 is a 42 ppm color A4 laser printer for mid-to-large workgroups doing 1,500-15,000 pages a month. 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, 4.3-inch color touchscreen, standard duplex, 5,000-page CMYK toner cartridges with high-yield replacements available, 550-sheet drawer plus 100-sheet bypass, optional hard drive, NFC for tap-to-print, ENERGY STAR + EPEAT Silver. First page out 6.4 seconds B&W and 7 seconds color. This is the right printer for a 5-15 person team that prints color daily and needs the throughput to keep the queue moving. The 1 thing buyers regret: buying single-function when half the team also needs to scan. The XC4342 multifunction version is the same engine plus scan, copy, and fax — and at workgroup volumes the MFP almost always pays for itself. Buy the C4342 only if you're certain nobody will need to scan or you have a separate scanner station that handles it.
Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most
small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy
outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and
supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for
exact pricing.
