The Next-Generation Lexmark CX950SE Strengthens Xerox’s Position in the Corporate Printing Market

The Office as a Digital Ecosystem

Corporate offices have evolved into environments where documents have shifted from paper carriers to components of digital processes. Documents must be scanned, routed to a DMS or cloud, secured, processed, and integrated into workflows. Therefore, the need for technology that executes these tasks with minimal user involvement is critical. The Lexmark CX950SE fully meets these demands: it integrates seamlessly into digital work models, supports automation and comprehensive security, and requires minimal maintenance–timely replacement of consumables is essentially all it needs.

Silence as a Distinct Feature

One of the immediately noticeable characteristics of the Lexmark CX950SE is its low noise level. For an SRA3-class device, it operates remarkably quietly–below 42 dB. In open office environments where equipment is placed near workstations, this becomes a genuine functional advantage.

Industrial-Grade Engineering

Built on a metal frame, the model features a dense construction that minimizes vibrations and provides a level of stability typically seen in industrial devices. No unwanted play or “creaky plastic” – the Lexmark CX950SE is a tool engineered for sustained, intensive operation. All key modules–cartridges, Wi-Fi, SSD–are pre-installed at the factory, so setup is essentially reduced to network connection. In corporate environments where deployments often take days or even weeks, such a simplified installation process is a major benefit.

Performance Without Compromise

The Lexmark CX950SE prints up to 25 ppm and maintains consistent output throughout the workday. Print quality receives special attention: high-resolution output with PANTONE calibration support is no longer reserved for design studios but becomes a standard part of office workflows. For organizations producing customer-facing materials or internal presentations, this often eliminates the need for external print services: SRA3 format support and media weights up to 300 g/m² enable most materials to be produced in-house.

A Powerful Scanning Module

The device’s true strength is its single-pass scanning mechanism delivering up to 200 ipm (duplex) with a 200-sheet feeder–dramatically transforming document processing. Ultrasonic sensors and skew-detection systems ensure accurate feeding, which is especially crucial for accounting, legal departments, and data-processing centers. As a result, the need for rescanning or manual oversight is virtually eliminated.

Security Built Into the Architecture

Leveraging Xerox’s expertise, data protection in the Lexmark CX950SE is implemented as a fundamental architectural element rather than an add-on. A hardware-encrypted SSD, TPM chip for secure key and password storage, and card-based authentication integrated with Xerox Workplace Cloud and Suite ensure proper security and access control. This aligns with the requirements of banking, government, retail, and other sectors where documents form part of protected business processes.

A User-Oriented Interface

The large 10.1″ touchscreen responds quickly, while the menu is logically structured and free of unnecessary elements. No abstract icons–only familiar actions: scan, send, print, select source. Built-in video guides support basic maintenance tasks (toner replacement, waste container handling, etc.) without service calls or special tools.

Easy Maintenance and Low Total Cost of Ownership

A modular design, single-side access to all components, and only two screw types ensure fast and predictable servicing. The device is tailored for intensive use: cartridges rated for ~47,000 pages, photoconductor units up to 250,000 pages, and a maximum duty cycle of 100,000 pages/month–all contributing to one of the lowest total cost of ownership levels in its class.

Applications

The Lexmark CX950SE integrates naturally into the infrastructure of various organizations. In banks, it handles large volumes of documentation. In legal and financial departments, it serves as a primary tool for incoming correspondence. For marketing teams, it functions as an internal “mini-print shop” for brochures and mock-ups. In government institutions, it operates as a reliable and secure office device. In IT departments, it performs consistently and predictably, with minimal service intervention.

Why Choose the Lexmark CX950SE?

The CX950SE becomes a full-fledged component of an organization’s digital infrastructure: it relieves staff of routine tasks, accelerates processes, reduces errors, and ensures stability and predictability in daily operations. Its low noise level, high productivity, data security, engineering reliability, and readiness “straight out of the box” make the Lexmark CX950SE an indispensable tool for organizations, offering one of the lowest ownership costs in its category.
