The model at a glance
The Lexmark XS950de is a professional A3/Super Tabloid colour laser multifunction printer, recommended for businesses, larger offices, professional practices, schools, public authorities, administrative departments, sales departments, agencies and in-house print centres that need colour printing, copying, scanning and faxing.
It is suitable for business documents, invoices, contracts, quotes, presentations, charts, tables, product sheets, brochures, flyers, covers, booklets and sales materials. PANTONE calibration, 1,200 × 1,200 dpi resolution and support for media up to 300 g/m² also make it suitable for light graphics and promotional materials. It offers better professional colour quality than standard office multifunction printers, although it does not match the graphic specialisation of the best Xerox models.

Functions: printing, copying, colour scanning, network scanning and integrated colour faxing. It allows documents to be sent to email, FTP, network computers and USB memory.
Duplex: integrated automatic duplex for printing and copying. It has a reversible RADF document feeder that automatically scans both sides by turning the sheet; it does not use a single-pass duplex system with two scanners.
