Lexmark MS310 series
OEM introduces MS310/MS410 series of black and white printers, which offer “superior performance, security and value” for SMBs and enterprises.
The two devices are designed to deliver enterprise-level features to small and medium businesses in addition to large organisations; featuring a colour display panel, automatic duplex printing and optional wireless printing, as well as added security with Lexmark’s confidential print feature.
Included in the series is the MS415dn, which is described as being a “highly competitive product” for “companies of all sizes, including the finance and manufacturing industries”, with print speeds of up to 38 ppm and a 256MB memory. The MS312dn meanwhile can print up to 33 ppm and boasts a range of eco-friendly features such as an eco mode and duplex printing.
The series supports mobile printing via the Lexmark Mobile Printing App, while remote manageability allows designated staff to control printer settings from any browser when connected to a network, including security settings, device defaults and consumables alerts.
The printers come with 5,000-yield ‘Return Programme’ toner cartridges that are sold at a discount in exchange for the customer’s agreement to use the cartridge only once before returning it to Lexmark for remanufacturing or recycling. Lexmark stated that the 5,000-yield cartridge “is one of the most sought-after cartridges for this segment”. The licensing on these cartridges was reported on by The Recycler yesterday.
Commenting on the product launches, Marty Canning, Executive Vice President of Lexmark and President of Imaging Solutions and Services, said: “Small business needs the same speed, reliability and usability found in enterprise-level printers. The Lexmark MS310 and MS410 series offer unexpected features such as confidential print, network security and remote manageability that are designed to keep small business on the leading edge of print technology.”
The MS312dn and MS415dn are priced from £169 ($285/€208) to £249 ($420/€307).
