Lexmark has announced a new line of web-connected touchscreen printers targeted at small and medium businesses. The inkjet printers will have a 4.3-inch touchscreen, can copy, fax, scan and directly connect to RSS feeds or download weather information from the internet.
The new printers come on the heels of a similar product launched by HP last month. HP’s Photosmart Premium web-connected printer allows customers to print movie tickets from Fandango, content from USA Today, Google maps and upload photos directly to a Snapfish account.
Lexmark’s new printers will have a graphical interface with icons for basic functions, says the company. It will also allow buyers to customize their workflows on the printer and create shortcuts for activities such as group faxing and scan to email templates.
The printers will have wireless capability and a business card scan mode that will allow contact information to be automatically uploaded to Microsoft Outlook, Windows CE or Palm OSTM.
Lexmark’s web-connected printers will be priced from $200 to $400 and will be available starting September.
