Benefits that no

copier can copy!

Print Less. Save More.

Print less? This may seem like a surprising message for a company dedicated solely to printing. But when you consider that businesses spend, on average, up to 6% of their revenue on printing and active print management can cut office print costs by up to 30%1, it makes a lot of sense. Lexmark products, solutions and services provide innovative ways to save you time, drive down costs and reduce your impact on the environment. We are committed to helping you print less and save more.

Everything youd expect from a great copier is here, from the robust design to the rapid output speeds. But Lexmark X658 MFPs take over where copiers leave off.

Whats more, Lexmark X658 MFPs are incredibly simple to set up. You can literally roll them into place, and in just minutes youll have advanced copying and scanning functionality to dramatically enhance the way you work.
The Productivity Checklist If youve got all these, then youve got a Lexmark!
Enormously intuitive touch screen The incredibly large, fully featured color touch screen gives you fast, easy access to document capture and workflow functions. Tailor it to your business requirements with the icons and shortcuts you need most. You can even change the background image to whatever suits you best, like your logo.
Fantastic finishing Choose the StapleSmart II Finisher model to staple multiple sets of documents of up to 50 pages each. Or organize your output with the 4-bin mailbox configuration, which lets you assign each bin to a different user or a dedicated function like one for incoming faxes, one for copies and one for regular output.
Multitalented copying Benefit from a rich range of advanced copy functions to boost your productivity, such as Priority Copy to interrupt long print runs temporarily; ID Card Copy to copy both sides of a card on to a single sheet; Sample Copy to proof the first copy set before printing the remaining copies; and Remote Copy, which you can use to scan color documents on your monochrome Lexmark X658 and retrieve them from a Lexmark color laser printer or MFP.

Efficient traffic shaping When you e-mail a large file from your Lexmark X658 it wont cause a traffic jam on your network. Thats because traffic-shaping technology can partition your network traffic and designate lower bandwidth for outbound flows. This is especially useful for busy networks and externally hosted Web servers.
On-screen scan previews Before you scan and e-mail an important image file, see how it looks and fits on the page. Should it be in color or black and white? Is the page orientation correct? Are you sure you scanned the correct side of the page? You may also want to check the file size of the scanned document before you save it or forward it. The Lexmark X658 lets you preview your scan and note the file size, saving you time and eliminating errors.
Personalized user settings A real efficiency booster, Lexmarks new MyMFP feature lets multiple users save and re-access their personal settings on a simple flash drive, including their local address book, personal fax numbers, individual copy settings, and even their own touch-screen configuration. They simply walk up to the MFP, slide in their flash drive and the MFP literally transforms into their own personal device. A warm welcome each time they use it!
Hassle-free installation and management Every Lexmark X658 model arrives pre-assembled and ready to go you can have it up and running in just a few minutes. If youre installing multiple Lexmark devices, the Lexmark Universal Driver offers easy deployment. Once youre up and running, Lexmarks free remote management software, Lexmark MarkVision Professional, keeps the workday flowing.
Lexmarks Embedded Solutions Framework Experience more productivity than you could ever imagine! Lexmarks new MFPs come solutions-ready. That means they can be customized easily to meet your unique printing needs. Contact your Lexmark representative to find out how simple it is to tailor your MFP with one or more of Lexmarks leading industry solutions. With the touch of an icon you can transform your hardcopy documents into digital workflow, helping you print less, save time, lower costs, and reduce the environmental impact of printing.
Whats the perfect finish for your busy workgroup?

WorkCentre 4250/ Multifunction Printer Competitive Assessment
Xerox WorkCentre 4250/4260 vs. Lexmark X656/X658 Series Competitive Assessment
This document has been prepared from data prepared by Buyers Laboratory Inc. (BLI), the imaging industrys leading source of unbiased and reliable competitive intelligence. Data was collected in BLIs 10,000 square-foot lab in Hackensack, New Jersey and has been published in BLIs Lab Test Reports, Environmental Test Reports, and BLI Side-By-Side Comparison publications, among others.
Summary: WorkCentre 4250/4260 advantages
The WorkCentre 4250 4260s innovative print / drivers were recognized with a BLI Pick award for Outstanding Achievement, Fall 2008
The WorkCentre 4250/4260 supports the Global Print Driver and the Mobile Express Print Driver, which received a BLI Outstanding Achievement Award in Fall 2008. In our lab trial using the Xerox Global and Mobile Print Drivers, we were able to print documents on non-Xerox devices, including copier-based and printer-based models, on our test network, said Tony Maceri, BLIs Senior Test Technician. This flexibility lets workers print anywhere in their office, even on non-Xerox printers and copiers, with a single interface, instead of having to keep numerous print drivers installed (which is time-consuming for IT workers as well as confusing to end users).
* LI tested the Xerox WorkCentre 4260 and Lexmark X6556 for this report. Feature B sets are typically common among product families of the same class; therefore, the advantages highlighted in this report can apply to all products mentioned. The caveat to this is when page per minute productivity figures are quoted, these apply specifically to the products tested.

B LI tested the Xerox WorkCentre 4260 and Lexmark X6556 for this report. Feature sets are typically common among product families of the same class; therefore, the advantages highlighted in this report can apply to all products mentioned. The caveat to this is when page per minute productivity figures are quoted, these apply specifically to the products tested. The device(s) to be tested, lab test equipment and paper are tested with daily conditions maintained between 20 and 25.6 degrees Celsius/68 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit and 35% to 65% RH. A4/Letter-size 80 gsm/20-lb. bond paper is used for all testing. Electricity is automatically regulated to <1% variation at 115 VAC using a Powerstat voltage regulator. Energy measurements used in Environmental Test Reports are recorded using a Yokogawa WT210 digital power meter. Devices with multiple energy level settings are set to use the lowest amount of energy for energy-save mode and/or sleep mode and to go into each mode at the shortest interval possible. The Job Stream Test conducted for BLI Environmental Reports is started from sleep mode after overnight dormancy and the running mode tests are started from idle mode. This document is strictly for internal use and is provided for self training purposes it should never be provided in whole or part to a customer.

Productivity analysis
Productivity is influenced by a variety of factors, ranging from the obvious (rated engine speed, rated scan speed) to the subtle (streamlined administrative procedures, for example), and overall ease of use. We will examine numerous factors that contribute to the overall productivity advantages of the WorkCentre 4250 / 4260 Series in this section.

Ease of Use

Ease of use is a critical factor in determining productivity. If users have to spend time figuring out how to use a function properly, theyre not doing the jobs theyre paid to do and their productivity suffers dramatically. The WorkCentre 4250 / 4260s advantages in ease of use include Intuitive print drivers keep workers more productive Check status before you send a print jobright from your application WorkCentre 4250 / 4260 Paper gauge in print driver lets users check consumables before sending a print job, without leaving their desks. Toner gauge in print driver with information on remaining toner in increments of 1 percent. Select collate through the print driver. X656 / X658 Series No paper gauge in print drivers.
The WorkCentre 4250 / 4260 print driver keeps users informed with consumable and paper tray status.
No toner gauge in print drivers.
Unlike the previous generation Status Window, users cant proactively access Status Messenger to check device or consumables status. * Although theres a collate section in the driver, it didnt function in testing; collate must be selected from the Windows print screen within an application for output to be collated. *
The Lexmark X656 / X658 driver does not provide consumable and paper tray status.
Enhancing worker productivity
Xerox Print Around feature avoids bottlenecks at the printer Thanks to WorkCentre 4250 / 4260s unique Print Around feature, one problem job (such as a print job calling for a kind of paper that isnt currently loaded) wont hold up the queue behind it. Instead, the problem job is simply held in the queue until the problem job can be printed. Other jobs in the queue simply print around it in the meantime. There is no comparable capability for the X656 / X658 series.

* Quotes from BLIs Lab Test Report on the Lexmark X656 Series
Xerox WorkCentre 4250 / 4260 vs. Lexmark X656 / X658 Series
Clearing paper misfeeds is easier and faster
Removing jams is simple, aided by dynamic text and graphical instructions on the display. Misfeeds are accessed from the front and sides of the unit; the areas are clearly marked. Consumables dont have to be removed during the process. BLIs Lab Test Report on the WorkCentre 4260
Only the WorkCentre 4250 / 4260 offers scan to hard drive capability, allowing users to store often-used documents directly on the MFPs hard disk drive. Most noteworthy is that the units actual running speeds when outputting multiple sets in simplex print mode and all three copy modes are the fastest of competitive models tested to date. Quote from BLIs Lab Test Report on the WorkCentre 4260

Cost Control

Cost control is influenced by factors including actual toner and supplies cost as well as energy usage and most often overlooked the amount of time workers spend installing, tracking and maintaining it on the network. In this section, well examine the WorkCentre 4250/4260s advantages over the X656/X658 series in all of these key areas.

Safeguard against attacks
External device: The WorkCentre 4250/4260 leverages port blocking and fax securities to ensure product safety. Internal device: With scan securities and rate-based access along with CAC or SMARTcard access restrictions, the WorkCentre 4250/4260 defends against any breach attempts. Xerox has gained full product Common Criteria Certification to ensure product security. Lexmark has not achieved this certification for any of its security functions. On the WorkCentre 4250/4260, the administrator can set security levels to meet specific requirements. Xerox allows setting hard disk overwrite and encryption as needed. Hard disk overwrite can be ad hoc now or can be set to occur after every print or scheduled daily, weekly, monthly.

Lower Energy Consumption = Lower Cost
The WorkCentre 4250/4260 uses less energy than the X656/X658 Series when printing.* WorkCentre 4250/4260 X656/X658 Series Energy used 794 watts 800 watts

Maximize Consumables

Because the WorkCentre uses separate toner cartridge /4 and imaging units, the life of each consumable is maximized to the fullest extent of the technology. Users of the X656/X658 Series throw away their imaging units every time they change their toner cartridge.

Key positioning strengths of the X656/X658 Series and how to combat them with prospective customers
Handles heavier paper weights
What the Lexmark sales rep could say: The X656/X658 series can handle paper as heavy as 47-lb. bond through its main paper drawers (versus paper weights of up to 28-lb. bond on the WorkCentre 4250/4260). How to respond Lets be honest. How many office documents are printed on thick oak tag? The WorkCentre 4250/4260s paper trays were designed to handle typical office document paper weights easily and efficiently. On the rare occasion where extra heavy media weight is needed (such as for a booklet cover), the WorkCentre 4250/4260s standard 100-sheet bypass tray can handle paper weights as heavy as 53-lb. bond, which is thicker than most offices will ever need to use.

Standard DSPF

What the Lexmark sales rep could say: The X656/X658 series includes a duplexing single-pass document feeder (DSPF), which scans both sides of a document at one time instead of scanning one side, then reversing the document in order to scan the other. This increases productivity when youre working with two-sided documents. How to respond: In theory, this is correct. However, in BLI lab testing, it turned out not to be the case. When copying multiple documents in both 1:2 and 2:2 duplex modes, the WorkCentre 4260 proved faster.

Faster scanning speed

What the Lexmark sales rep could say: The X656/X658 Series rated scanning speed is 57 images per minute in both color and black, while the WorkCentre 4250/4260s scanning speed is rated much slower at only 25 ipm in color and 55 ipm in black. How to respond: Scanning speed is only one part of the entire workflow equation. The productivity of most workgroups is influenced more by overall productivity in printing and copying (where BLI Lab Tests confirmed the WorkCentre 4260 was faster in very), first-copy time (where the WorkCentre 4260 proved faster) and overall ease of use (so workers dont have to spend time figuring out how to program a copy job, or leave their desks to check on toner and paper supplies).
