Lexmark launches new line of workgroup colour devices featuring innovative touch screens to enable greater business productivity

Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) has today announced details of a significant expansion to its award-winning line of colour printers and multifunction products (MFPs). Each device boasts an intuitive colour touch screen that enables customers to access and manage their documents faster and with greater flexibility. Additionally, the company has announced Markvision Enterprise, new browser-based device management software to give IT administrators better visibility into managing fleets of printing devices.

The easy-to-use, customisable touch screens serve as the access point to each of the devices' robust technology -- giving users fast access to the functions, shortcuts and workflows used most often in their business.

"The new touch screens we've introduced on these smart devices bring even more ease of use to our customers and serve as the gateway to access Lexmark's powerful platform of pre-loaded and customisable solutions that optimise business workflow," said Marty Canning, Lexmark executive vice president and president of Imaging Solutions & Services Division.

"Through our continued focus, investment and leadership in delivering smart devices and innovative solutions to the market, we are helping our customers become more efficient and add more productivity to their day", he continued.

Colour Laser A4 MFPs - Lexmark X792 Series

The Lexmark X792 family of colour laser MFPs brings workgroup productivity to new heights with exceptional multifunction performance and productivity solutions. The 10.2-inch touch screen is the largest in its class¹ and enables access to Print Preview features that help users select documents or specific pages within a document to manage directly at the device. Additionally, new interactive sensory features on the touch screen provide feedback to guide the user and make completing tasks on the device more intuitive.

Featuring the fastest print and copy speeds in its category¹ at 47.5 pages per minute, the Lexmark X792 family can be configured with additional input/output options and advanced finishing capabilities based on the needs of the workgroup. In fact, it is the only device in its class¹ to offer hole punch finishing capability. This flexibility, combined with vibrant colour printing, means businesses can produce quality colour output in-house and reduce the time and costs associated with outsourcing jobs.

Colour Laser A4 Printers - Lexmark C792 Series

The Lexmark C792 family of colour laser printers, the single function version of the Lexmark X792 MFP family, includes the only A4 colour laser printer in its class² to feature a touch screen (4.3-inch). The new flash interface, similar to a smart phone, enables users to operate the printer with ease and confidence through intuitive navigation and simple business workflow solutions. The Lexmark C792 family can be configured to meet varied workgroup needs and also offers flexible media handling and input/output options for more complex jobs.

The Lexmark X925de colour MFP is equipped with a 10.2-inch touch screen and delivers high-performance printing, copying, scanning and faxing as well as time-saving software solutions all in a compact design.

Lexmark's C925de colour printer is capable of handling banner-size media (11.7-inch x 48-inch) and is the only single-function A3 colour printer in its class³ with a touch screen (4.3-inch). Medium and large-size workgroups can use these smart devices to meet the demands of a busy colour printing environment that requires advanced networking, security and device management capabilities.

New software solution delivers high performance, efficiency to Small to Medium Businesses and enterprises

Markvision Enterprise, Lexmark's next generation device management software, is designed to help businesses reduce downtime and costs by strategically managing their output environments.

Markvision Enterprise is a powerful, Web-based tool built on a database-driven foundation that gives IT professionals the ability to proactively track and monitor a portfolio of tens, hundreds or even thousands of devices. With this robust and scalable tool, a fleet of up to 20,000 networked printers and MFPs, regardless of the manufacturer, can be centrally managed throughout their full lifecycle.

To help coordinate the tasks required to effectively oversee a fleet of devices, Markvision Enterprise features an intuitive roles-based interface.
