With today's introduction of the Lexmark X830e and the Lexmark X832e , Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) offers two advanced workflow solution platforms that redefine multifunction capability for large workgroups.

The two intelligent multifunction products (MFPs) were designed with business processes and security in mind, and allow users to process their workflow and their documents securely, quickly and easily.

The new MFPs are productive, intuitive and easy to use. When fully networked, these units will be the centerpieces of a department-level workflow solution.

“The Lexmark X830e and the Lexmark X832e will change the game for large workgroups,” said Paul Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division.  “The workflow capabilities derived from the customizable e-Task interface make either device a must-have for demanding office environments. Their ease of use, security, performance and affordability combine to make these devices the most compelling in their class.”

Customized Solutions
Both the Lexmark X830e and the Lexmark X832e bring intuitive, multifunction power to the user’s fingertips thanks to the award-winning e-Task touch screen user interface. Common applications like scan-to-e-mail and faxing are made as easy as making a copy with one-touch icons highlighted on the color display.

The real power and capability of these new products is unleashed when this same ease-of-use is applied to a company’s more complex workflow processes. Coupled with Lexmark Document Solutions Suite software, customizable icons can be linked with workflow processes like financial loan applications and medical record processing to deliver significant cost reductions and productivity improvements.

Secure
In the digital office space, security has been, and will continue to be a top priority for small, medium and enterprise class customers. The new secure authentication and encryption features of the Lexmark X830e and Lexmark X832e are designed to help alleviate customer concerns surrounding document scan and print vulnerabilities.

The security features standard in the Lexmark X830e and the Lexmark X832e will allow customers to leverage their existing corporate directories, such as Microsoft™ Active Directory™, to perform secure user authentication. The new Lexmark products also offer security features that provide valuable protection for print data.

Lower Costs with Managed Services
To complement these powerful technologies and customizable solutions, Lexmark also provides a means for customers to take control of assets, drive down output costs, improve document processes, and enhance employee satisfaction. Lexmark Distributed Fleet Management consists of a core offering, Asset Lifecycle Services, supplemented by a range of optional value-added services – all enabled by Lexmark’s many years of technology development, output management and customer intimacy. 

Lexmark X830e
The Lexmark X830e produces documents at a rated speed of up to 35 pages per minute (ppm). Reliability is a key feature with a duty cycle rating that is double that of any product in its class.

Efficient printing and copying make it a user’s dream, but financial executives will love it, too. The page yield from a single toner cartridge is rated at up to 30,000*, which is twice the toner yield of the top competitor in its class, significantly reducing the number of interventions required of users. The list price of the Lexmark X830e is $11,999.

Lexmark X832e
Like the Lexmark X830e, the Lexmark X832e offers the functionality to accelerate any paper-based process. But the Lexmark X832e adds an extra element of speed with a blazing output rating of up to 45 ppm. It features the same 30,000 page* yield toner cartridge, and has a duty cycle that is 25 percent higher than the nearest competitor in its class. The list price of the Lexmark X832e is $13,999.

Competitive acquisition prices mean the standard functions of printing, copying, scanning and faxing are available at best-in-class price performance for these products. And the innovative single-cartridge design keeps the total cost of operation down, adding efficiency to customers’ operating expenses.

Both products are available immediately. More detailed information about the Lexmark X830e and the Lexmark X832e can be found at www.lexmark.com/US/enterpriseprinting/.
