About the Lexmark XC8355
The Lexmark XC8355 sits in Lexmark's Colour 2025 business range and is built for departments with heavy day-to-day print volumes. It prints, copies and scans at speeds of up to 55 pages per minute, with a recommended monthly page volume of 7,000 – 50,000 pages.
Speed and volume
Rated at up to 55 ppm, the XC8355 is designed to run comfortably at 7,000 to 50,000 pages a month. Automatic two-sided printing is standard across the Lexmark business range, so duplex output costs no extra time or configuration. Lexmark rates its maximum monthly duty cycle at 270,000 pages — that is the ceiling the hardware can survive under multi-shift use, not a target. The recommended volume above is the band to size against; buying a device whose recommended volume matches your real monthly output is what keeps service calls down.
Paper handling
It ships with 700 sheets of standard input, which expands to 4,750 sheets with optional trays. More input means fewer interruptions to reload — the practical difference between a device someone tops up twice a day and one that runs a week untouched.
Scanning and document handling
A duplex ADF captures both sides of a page in a single pass, so double-sided originals scan without re-loading the stack. Jobs are driven from the 25 cm colour touchscreen, keeping copy, scan-to-email and scan-to-folder workflows a couple of taps away, and OCR is included as standard so scanned documents come back searchable.
Connectivity and storage
Wi-Fi is standard, so the device can be sited away from a network point; an Intelligent Storage Drive (ISD) is included for held jobs and on-device workflows.
Finishing
Several finishing units are available, so stapling and higher-capacity output can be added when the workflow needs it rather than paid for up front.
Security and solutions
The XC8355 is solutions-enabled: Lexmark embedded (eSF) applications run on the device itself, which is what makes secure print release, department accounting and scan workflows possible without a separate server for every job. That matters most where documents sit in an output tray in a shared area — held-and-released printing means a job only prints once the person who sent it is standing at the device.

Lexmark XC8355 — frequently asked questions
How fast is the Lexmark XC8355?
The Lexmark XC8355 prints at up to 55 pages per minute on A4. Speeds quoted on US datasheets are usually higher because they are rated on Letter paper — 55 ppm is the A4 figure that applies in the UK.
How many pages a month can the Lexmark XC8355 handle?
Lexmark gives the Lexmark XC8355 a recommended monthly page volume of 7,000 – 50,000 pages, which is the band it is designed to run in day to day. Its maximum monthly duty cycle is 270,000 pages, but that is a survivable ceiling rather than a sustainable workload — size against the recommended volume.
Does the Lexmark XC8355 print in colour?
Yes. The Lexmark XC8355 is a colour laser multifunction device, printing colour and mono at up to 55 ppm on A4.
Can the Lexmark XC8355 scan double-sided documents?
Yes. The Lexmark XC8355 has a duplex ADF, which captures both sides of a sheet in a single pass rather than making you re-load the stack. OCR is included as standard, so scans come back as searchable documents.

Yes, Wi-Fi is standard on the Lexmark XC8355, so it does not have to sit next to a network point.
Does the Lexmark XC8355 fax?

How much paper does the Lexmark XC8355 hold?
The Lexmark XC8355 holds 700 sheets as standard and expands to 4,750 sheets with optional trays.
Can the Lexmark XC8355 staple?

How much does the Lexmark XC8355 cost to lease?
Lease cost depends on your monthly volume, the mono and colour split, the term and any finishing options, so there is no single list price. Run the comparison on this site with your actual page volumes and you will get a monthly figure for the Lexmark XC8355 in about a minute, with no obligation.
