New Lexmark monochrome laser MFP offers benefits no copier can copy
November 13, 2008
Lexmark's new Lexmark X658 family of monochrome laser multifunction
products (MFPs) offers the robust design and rapid output speeds of
large copiers in a smaller, more efficient device that saves valuable
office space and can lower the total cost of printing and boost
productivity.
The Lexmark X658 family, part of the new Lexmark X650 Series of
monochrome laser MFPs, is targeted squarely at the high-growth A4
letter-size (8.5 inch x 11 inch) office segment. Sales of A4 MFPs are
growing quickly due to their many inherent advantages over A3
tabloid-capable (11 inch x 17 inch) devices in most office environments,
such as:
-- Cost savings - The acquisition price of X658 models is less than half
that of a typical A3 MFP. Customers can save as much as 25 percent in
their total ownership costs, depending upon average monthly page
volumes, by using an A4 device.
-- Space savings - The X658 family takes up significantly less floor
space than typical A3 devices.
-- Time savings - The space-saving design of the X658 family enables
time-saving finishing options and workflow solutions to be deployed
close to users.
-- Technology optimization - Research shows businesses are out of
balance when it comes to their A3 devices. These devices make up 24
percent of unit placements, and some research shows as few as 3 percent
of pages produced are A3 size.
The Lexmark X658de, X658dme, X658dfe, X658dte, X658dtme and X658dtfe
models deliver up to 55 prints, copies or scans per minute. Some models
offer integrated finishing capabilities including a StapleSmart II
finisher model to staple multiple sets of documents up to 50 pages each,
or users can organize output with the four-bin, illuminated mailbox
configuration. The MFPs also feature an input capacity of up to 2,300
sheets, advanced workflow capabilities with flexible scan destinations
and formats, and powerful fax with time-saving functions, such as fax
forwarding. A large-capacity 80GB hard drive offers expanded
functionality.
The Lexmark X658 family also features Lexmark's award-winning e-Task
color touch screen, which saves precious time and training effort.
Complicated processes that involve multiple steps on competitive devices
are reduced to the single touch of an icon on the e-Task touch screen.
Additionally, Lexmark's Embedded Solutions Framework enables the MFPs to
be customized with industry-specific and cross-industry solutions. With
Lexmark's new MyMFP solution, users can personalize the touch screen
with the functions and short cuts they use the most.
These efficient MFPs can help businesses save the environment with
eco-conscious features such as workflow solutions that enable users to
scan and route documents digitally, reducing the number of printed
pages, in addition to built-in two-sided printing to save paper. Other
features include Eco-Mode to reduce power consumption and
extra-high-yield cartridges that print up to 36,000 pages, which means
customers save time by replacing cartridges less frequently and reduce
the number of cartridges recycled or sent to the landfill.
The Lexmark X658 models are equipped with state-of-the-art security and
customizable user-access controls to help protect valuable corporate
data. All of the models arrive pre-assembled and can be up and running
in minutes.
