New Lexmark Laser Printers, MFPs Deliver High-Impact, Affordable Colour Performance

RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO, May 19 (MARKET WIRE) --
The most award-winning line of laser printers(1) in the North America
became even stronger today with the introduction of Lexmark Canada,
Inc.'s new Lexmark C730 Series of colour laser printers and Lexmark X730
Series of colour laser multifunction products. The new products enable
large and midsize workgroups to efficiently and affordably enhance
business-critical documents with colour.

"We know customers are looking for affordable in-house colour printing on
a device that can reliably produce page after page," said Tim Emens,
Lexmark president. "Beyond printing, our new colour laser MFPs offer the
same powerful solutions capability as our award-winning monochrome laser
MFPs, helping businesses digitize document workflows, improving
efficiency and saving money."

Lexmark X730 Series: colour, power and productivity

The Lexmark X730 Series of colour laser MFPs combines fast, high-quality
colour printing, copying, faxing and scanning, all in one multifunction
workhorse. For prices beginning at $2,199(2), the robust design offers
many of the same functions as large, expensive colour copiers at a lower
price and a smaller size that allows the device to be placed closer to
users.

Smart solutions

The Lexmark X730 Series offers access to Lexmark's Embedded Solutions
Framework, which enables customizable or industry-specific solutions to
streamline paper-based processes, increasing productivity and reducing
page volumes. For example, health care providers can easily convert hard
copy forms to electronic medical records, and banks can turn a five-day
loan application process into a simple electronic procedure that can
typically be completed in less than one hour.

The Lexmark X730 Series also comes equipped with Lexmark's e-Task colour
touch screen, which allows users to complete multi-step processes through
the single touch of an icon. Lexmark's innovative MyMFP feature boosts
efficiency further by allowing individuals to personalize the e-Task
touch screen to their specific needs and preferences.

Lexmark's advanced colour-laser toner formula, combined with new
temperature- and humidity-sensing technology, ensures consistent high
quality from the first page to last. Customers can print anything from
presentations and reports to labels, envelopes and banners. The Lexmark
X730 Series also offers the highest paper handling capacity in its
class(3) with input up to 3,200 sheets. This includes a Specialty Media
Drawer option, which is ideal for large stacks of envelopes, and a
2,000-sheet high-capacity feeder.

Cutting-edge security

The Lexmark X730 Series is equipped with state-of-the-art security to
help protect valuable corporate data, including features such as user
access controls, secure data encryption and disk wiping.

Eco-responsible printing

Designed with the environment in mind, all models in the Lexmark X730
Series include built-in two sided printing to save paper. Eco-Mode and
Quiet Mode save energy and reduce noise. Additionally, these devices have
instant warm-up fusers and scanner lamps, which reduce energy consumption
while ensuring fast print jobs. The printers also ship with Lexmark
Return Program Toner Cartridges, which can be returned to Lexmark free of
charge for remanufacturing or recycling.

Lexmark C730 Series: a durable design for high-volume printing

Designed to fit easily on a desktop or in a small workstation, the
Lexmark C730 Series provides the durable printing platform for the X730
Series of MFPs. Built for high-volume jobs, the C730 Series prints on a
wide range of paper types, from envelopes and labels to card stock. The
Specialty Media Drawer option offers more versatility, and customers can
add up to four stackable drawers to boost input capacity up to 4,300
sheets, the highest capacity in its class(3).

For prices beginning at $899(2), the Lexmark C730 Series features a
user-friendly tiltable operator panel with a four-line display for simple
operation. A front USB port enables convenient walk-up printing of PDF
brochures, reports and other image files on both the printers and MFPs.

Customers can break free from cables with the wireless-ready C734dw,
which is Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 802.11n draft 2.0(4).

'Green' machines

Eco-conscious features include built-in two-sided printing on most C730
models in addition to an instant warm-up fuser and Eco-Mode to reduce
power consumption, and Quiet Mode to reduce noise. Customers can recycle
empty toner cartridges free of charge through the Lexmark Cartridge
Collection Program.
