X548 Color Laser MFP Family

The Lexmark X548de and X548dte color laser MFPs deliver the high performance, wide-ranging capabilities, time-saving solutions and advanced security features representative of more costly devices in the market – but with a smaller footprint and at an affordable price point.

Accentuated by a sophisticated, 7-inch color touch screen, the Lexmark X548 color laser MFP family comes standard with pre-loaded applications and can easily be customized with tailored workflows based on unique business needs. A step up from the Lexmark X548de base model, the Lexmark X548dte adds a hard disk to enable extra features, as well as a 650-sheet Duo Drawer for additional media handling capabilities.

The Lexmark X548 color laser MFP family is included in the exclusive Lexmark Rewards program(1), which rewards customers with free genuine Lexmark toner and imaging kits for sending their empty cartridges back to Lexmark for recycling or remanufacturing. Additionally, both models include the Lexmark Supplies Price Guarantee, an innovative program through which Lexmark pledges never to raise the price of toner cartridges for the life of these devices(2).
