New Lexmark laser MFP broadens access to advanced technology

Johannesburg, 12 Jul 2006

Lexmark International, Inc (NYSE: LXK) has introduced the Lexmark X642e monochrome laser multifunction product (MFP), providing industry-leading technology in a value-priced package for all businesses.

The Lexmark X642e offers the fastest speed in its class, printing and copying at speeds up to 43 pages per minute. It includes legal-size, simplex scanning and fax capabilities as standard. The Lexmark X642e features a 5.7-inch monochrome e-Task interface, which can easily be customised to simplify complicated business processes at the touch of an icon. The touchscreen offers similar capabilities to the larger, 8-inch colour touchscreen featured on higher-end Lexmark laser MFPs but at a lower price, making advanced technology accessible to more users.

The Lexmark X642e is the only device in its class to offer not only a touchscreen interface, but one that is adjustable for an optimal viewing angle.

The Lexmark X642e is also the first multifunction device in its class with the ability to scan to or print PDFs and images from a USB flash storage device. It can be configured to meet each customer`s needs with a variety of input options and features such as an optional duplexer.

For customers concerned with security, the Lexmark X642e comes standard with enterprise-level security features such as IPSec, SSL, SNMPv3 and 802.1x authentication.

Says Hans Horn, Managing Director of Lexmark International South Africa: "Customers are increasingly looking for simple printing solutions to save them time and money, especially in South Africa where small and medium enterprises make up such a large proportion of the market. The Lexmark X642e combines big-business functionality and an affordable price into one manageable MFP solution."
