Lexmark X5150

The Lexmark X5150 lets users copy any document – including text documents, colour graphics and even colour photographs – at the touch of a button, without having to turn on the computer. There is also the option of reducing or enlarging images 25 to 400 percent. In draft mode, the Lexmark X5150 can generate up to 16 copies per minute (cpm) in black, and up to 11 cpm in colour.

Photo sizing capability automatically adjusts images to print in popular picture sizes: wallet, 3” x 5”, 4” x 6”, 5” x 7” and 8” x 10”.

With industry-leading CCD flatbed scanning technology, the Lexmark X5150 can handle photographs and books of varied thickness, and offers an effective scan area of 8.5” x 11.7”. This high-resolution scanner captures the finest detail, with 600 x 2400-dpi optical resolution and 48-bit true color/12-bit grayscale.

Bundled software further enhances the Lexmark X5150’s functionality to improve the efficiency of home-office users: --- BVRP Fax Software – users can edit, store, send and receive documents via fax through their computers’ fax modems. Users select “Scan-to-Fax,” which launches the fax software and scans the file, and then simply input the fax number to send. --- ABBYY FineReader Sprint Optical Character Recognition – FineReader converts scanned paper documents into editable computer files.

The Lexmark X5150 boasts the inkjet technology that has catapulted Lexmark to the forefront of the home imaging market. Capable of 4800 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi) in black and colour on photo paper, inkjet paper transparencies, and on plain paper, the Lexmark X5150 will impress home and home office users with its photo-realistic output and precise text. In addition, variable colour drop size technology – three picolitres (pL) for textured areas and 10 pL for solid areas – allows for smooth colour transitions and beautifully rich detail.

The photo software performs image editing, such as cropping and resizing, ‘red-eye’ removal and colour manipulation – without any additional software.
