The 46 ipm print speed is measured to ISO/IEC 24734 with typical office documents, and the device turns out black A4 copies at the same 46 copies per minute. A long report or a thick stack of copies is done before you are back with your coffee. Speed matters most where a whole department shares one device.
Although printing and copying are black and white, the device scans in colour at up to 600 × 600 dpi. Colour documents, stamps, signatures and annotations stay distinguishable in the digital copy, which matters for archiving and forwarding documents. The 1200 × 1200 dpi print resolution delivers sharp small type and barcodes.
An analogue fax sends and receives documents over a standard phone line, something still required in fields such as healthcare and law. The listed functions also include a Trusted Platform Module, a hardware security chip that helps protect the device's cryptographic keys and settings. That matters in a company where the printer sits on the network and handles sensitive documents.
The MX532adwe joins the office network over Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000) or wirelessly via Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n/ac, with Bluetooth Low Energy as well. There is a USB 2.0 Type A port on the front and a USB 2.0 Type B port for connecting the printer directly to a computer. That makes it suitable both as a network printer and for a single workstation.
Standard input capacity is 650 sheets and the output tray holds 250, so paper needs topping up rarely even in a busy office. The device supports duplex functions and handles plain paper, labels, card stock and envelopes. Suitable weights and media types are listed in the Lexmark Paper and Specialty Media Guide. The device weighs 21.2 kg.
Mid-sized and larger offices that print and copy lots of black-and-white documents but need colour scanning. It suits accounting departments, law firms, healthcare providers and the public sector, where fax is still in use and the security of a networked device, supported by the TPM module, matters.
