Is the Lexmark C255A good for a small office?

Yes, if you need fast color documents plus copy, scan and fax. It prints 26 ppm in color and mono and connects over Wi-Fi and AirPrint. Its size and weight are the main drawbacks for a small desk.

Does it print photos well?

No. It is a laser printer built for documents, so photos look flat compared with an inkjet. Text and business graphics come out sharp at 2400 x 600 dpi.

Can I print from a phone or tablet?

Yes. It supports Apple AirPrint and Wi-Fi Direct, so iOS devices and direct connections work without a router. Android printing depends on the app you use.

Does it scan and fax as well as print?

Yes. It is a four-in-one: print, copy, scan and fax. That makes it useful for offices that still send signed documents by fax.

How big and heavy is it?

It weighs about 54.7 lb, so plan for two people to move it and a sturdy surface. It is a floor-standing or large-desk machine, not a shelf printer.

What comes in the box?

Typically the printer, starter toner cartridges, a power cord and setup documentation. Cables and full-capacity toner are usually sold separately, so check the listing.
