Lexmark International said it has launched the industry's first single-function monochrome A4 laser printer with a touch screen, providing businesses the ability to tap into a powerful solutions platform and work more efficiently.

The innovative Lexmark T656dne monochrome laser printer enables customers to expand the usefulness of their device to meet specific needs within their business by utilizing Lexmark's award-winning Embedded Solutions Framework (eSF).

Lexmark was recently recognized by Buyers Laboratory with an 'Outstanding Achievement Award' for providing value-added capabilities as a standard offering by leveraging its eSF platform, which enables customizable or industry-specific solutions to streamline paper-based processes, increasing productivity and reducing page volumes.

“Our robust, industry-leading solutions, integrated with our reliable, workhorse monochrome workgroup laser device, will enable the new T656dne to provide large workgroups with greater efficiency and productivity day in and day out,” said Marty Canning, Lexmark vice president and president of its Printing Solutions and Services Division.

'In addition, our new color laser, monochrome laser and laser MFPs continue to broaden our product line and provide our customers more choices than ever before for small and large workgroup needs,' he added.

Lexmark also announced six new models in the A3-capable Lexmark X860 Series of monochrome laser MFPs targeted to large workgroups who have demanding document needs.

These departmental MFPs integrate the capabilities of several standalone units and offer high performance with security features, numerous input and finishing options, and print speeds of up to 55 ppm.-TradeArabia News Service
