Markvision Enterprise Information Sent to Lexmark

At Lexmark, we are committed to delivering the best possible experience for our customers and are always looking for opportunities to improve our award-winning product line.

We rely on customer feedback to make our products the best they can be. This lets us understand the device’s performance to help us drive future innovations in product design and service.

Sending information to Lexmark is a simple and easy way to provide feedback. (What do we mean by anonymous information? Can it be linked to personal data?). However, no information will be sent to Lexmark unless you give Lexmark permission to do so. If you choose to participate, your device will periodically send Lexmark an ANONYMOUS summary of its supplies and page usage information, such as the number of pages and toner levels. This helps Lexmark better understand how customers use our products.

Information is sent to Lexmark over your Internet connection. You can choose to start or stop sending information at any time.
