Announcement posted by Lexmark Australia and New Zealand 10 Nov 2010

Flash Scan technology, sleek vertical design and the new Twitter and Facebook SmartSolutions headline the printer category's latest, most innovative product

Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) has today launched the latest addition to its award-winning line-up of Web-connected, all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printers – Lexmark Genesis (S815).

Last year, Lexmark introduced a line of inkjet AIOs that delivered powerful and robust printing technology designed for today's wireless, web-connected workplace. The Lexmark Genesis, built on the same inkjet platform, extends the line and targets professionals, small business and home office customers who are looking for a device that has innovative technology, is highly productive and is also bold and stylish.

"From its unique, sleek upright design to the broad range of SmartSolutions, the Lexmark Genesis is truly an innovative, one-of-a-kind product in today's AIO market," said Paul Rooke, Lexmark President and CEO. "Most importantly, after a quick and easy setup, busy professionals will immediately experience its time-saving instant preview, quick copies and unmatched speed when scanning content to the cloud."

Through its built-in innovative Flash Scan camera technology, which boasts a 10-megapixel imaging sensor, the Lexmark Genesis allows for an instant preview on the 4.3-inch color touch screen. The Flash Scan technology also delivers blazing scanning speeds that enable the AIO to transfer a page from "document to digital" in as few as three seconds1.

In addition to its innovative Flash Scan technology, the Lexmark Genesis comes equipped with sophisticated features and functionality, including the 4.3-inch capacitive colour touch screen that is also available on Lexmark's other award-winning AIOs, the Platinum, Pinnacle and Interact. This touch screen serves as the gateway to Web-connected technology2 allowing busy professionals to access Lexmark's SmartSolutions, including well-known, cloud-based applications such as Stamps.com, Evernote, Box.net and TripIt as well as social media applications including Twitter and Facebook.

The Lexmark Genesis also features the company's Vizix print technology, which uses separate ink cartridges to enable greater speed and produces high quality print output at an economical replacement cost for customers.

Other key features include Wireless-N (IEEE 802.11n) for expanded coverage, built-in two-sided printing, and a one year on-site exchange warranty with lifetime phone support.3
