SmartSolutions technology enables one-touch ‘customizations’ — unique workflows that eliminate repetitive tasks and pain points for each user. SmartSolutions technology has also been built to leverage third-party developers that can create tailored applications. Examples of current widget-like, customized solutions include:

      features such as group faxing, scan to email templates and more

      single sheet of paper; ideal for small businesses such as doctor
      offices where this feature immediately cuts up to 50 percent paper
      usage of this everyday task

  --  RSS feeds - business, weather, sports news, a company intranet - or
      whatever else the user wants to access via RSS is available directly
      on the touch screen and can even be e-mailed directly from the AIO

  New features

New features within the line further enable and enhance a business’ efficiency. Highlights include:

  --  Vizix print technology - Lexmark's new Vizix technology includes
      separate ink tanks and provides top speed and quality across the
      entire line of new inkjets. This enables customers to choose a printer
      based on their unique business needs and not have to sacrifice on
      speed or quality at any price point.
  --  Wireless - Lexmark is the first printer manufacturer to deliver
      wireless capability across the entire line of new inkjet AIO products.
      Additionally, Lexmark is the first to introduce Wireless-N (IEEE

      signals for faster file transfer rates.
  --  Eco Mode - The new Eco Mode allows users to save paper and energy with
