Lexmark All-in-One redefines document management, distribution for SMB professionals

The X7170 All-in-One integrates hardware and software functionality to give SMB professionals a productivity-edge
Johannesburg, 08 Mar 2005

Lexmark International has announced the local availability of the Lexmark X7170 All-in-One featuring exclusive Productivity Suite Software.

The printer is the latest addition to the company`s line of small and medium business (SMB) products. Expressly 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. 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," says Hans Horn, managing director of Lexmark International, South Africa.

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-e-mail via Lexmark Optical Character Recognition (OCR) program;

* Use 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, organise and print high-definition colour 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 - 1 200 x 4 800 dots per inch (dpi) resolution - with 48-bit colour depth and CCD technology that can scan photos, reports and even three-dimensional objects.

High-resolution colour output

For professionals seeking colour-infused documents and photos, the X7170 boasts borderless printing capabilities, optional six-colour support* and a maximum 4 800dpi 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-inch x 6-inch 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 colour copy capabilities allow users to reproduce photos and documents with the touch of just one button. The X7170 fax capabilities include 400 x 400dpi resolution and 33.6Kbps colour options with convenience features including 100-page memory and 79 speed dials.

The Lexmark X7170 offers network support, and optional Ethernet and wireless network adapters so users have the flexibility to position the printer virtually anywhere in the home or office for access by multiple users.
