About the Lexmark M1342
The Lexmark M1342 sits in Lexmark's Monochrome 2025 business range and is built for small teams and single-office workgroups. It prints at speeds of up to 40 pages per minute, with a recommended monthly page volume of 800 – 8,000 pages.
Speed and volume
Rated at up to 40 ppm, the M1342 is designed to run comfortably at 800 to 8,000 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 80,000 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.
At the device
The 2-line display keeps job status, supplies levels and device settings within reach without needing a workstation.
Connectivity and storage
Wi-Fi is standard, so the device can be sited away from a network point; it carries 256 MB of memory.
Running costs
Cartridge yields are up to 18,000 mono pages (replacement Unison toner). Yield is the number that actually drives cost per page: a higher-yield cartridge costs more up front but is replaced less often, so on a managed print agreement the meaningful comparison between devices is pence per page, not the price of a toner.
