Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) today introduced the Lexmark X7170 All-in-One  featuring exclusive Productivity Suite Software – the latest addition to the company’s line of Small & Medium Business (SMB) products. Designed to make life easier for busy SMB professionals, the X7170 can dramatically cut administrative time, helping businesses be more productive.

Small business professionals are consumed with incoming and outgoing communication in a variety of very different hardcopy and softcopy formats. Assimilating and distributing this information can be a daunting task. Lexmark’s new X7170 All-in-One offers small business owners a one-stop shop for easily faxing, scanning, printing and copying documents, and with the new Lexmark Productivity Suite Software, an easy-to-use way to move information between the paper and digital worlds.

"The Lexmark X7170 All-in-One offers printing, scanning and faxing capabilities together with a complete document management solution built in," said Najib Bahous, Lexmark vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division. "Having all of this functionality tied together with our easy to use document management software allows owners to spend less time managing their documents and more time managing their business."

Exclusive Productivity Suite Software

Integrated within the X7170, the Lexmark Productivity Suite Software meets these needs via an intuitive graphical user interface. Users can:

• Create multiple page portable document files (PDFs), from a variety of formats, into a single document for storage and distribution;

• Convert hard copy pages into text files that can be edited and scanned-to-email via Lexmark Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program;

• Utilize thumbnail images and drag-and-drop functionality to print, fax, email, convert to another format or archive any document with just a few keystrokes;

• Upload images from PictBridge-enabled cameras to edit, organize and print high-definition color photos; and

• View flash tutorials, download templates and receive Lexmark product updates via Web links.

High-resolution Scanner

The X7170 features the industry’s highest resolution flatbed scanner – 1200 x 4800 dots per inch (dpi) resolution – with 48-bit color depth and CCD technology that can scan photos, reports and even three-dimensional objects.

High-resolution Color Output

For professionals seeking color-infused documents and photos, the X7170 boasts borderless printing capabilities, optional six-color support* and a maximum 4800 dpi print resolution. With monochrome print speeds of up to 22 pages-per-minute (ppm) in black, reports are ready when deadlines loom.

Versatile Paper Handling System

The front-loading paper path with a 4"x6" input tray handles a variety of media types including transparencies, heavy card stock, envelopes and labels. Automatic paper sensing technology helps ensure professional grade output regardless of the medium, without manual adjustment.

Easy-to-use LCD Screen

The text LCD screen helps users execute many functions quickly, without the use of a PC. A

50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and 150-page input tray help process large copy, scan and fax jobs.

Standalone Capabilities

Standalone color copy capabilities allow users to reproduce photos and documents with the touch of just one button. The X7170 fax capabilities include 400 x 400 dpi resolution and 33.6 Kbps color options with convenience features including 100-page memory and 79 speed dials.
