Security Features of Lexmark Laser Printers: Overview
Executive Summary
Printers are complex network devices that require careful consideration regarding security. Lexmark’s printing and networking products include a wide array of security related features. This document discusses those features and provides an overview of their benefits and their implementation.
Any device that is placed on a network must be evaluated with respect to security. How does the device protect itself from unauthorized access? Does the device expose the network to any form of vulnerability? What sort of information does the device process, and what are the security considerations related to that data? These and many other questions are appropriate to ask of any networked device, including networked printers.
Print Management Services Providers Highlight Vertical, Workflow Knowledge
By: John Moore
A decade ago, managed print services was a relatively novel offering and something some service providers viewed as a point of differentiation.
Two Organizations Simplify, Centralize and Save with Managed Print Services
Managed print services (MPS) help organizations of all sizes reduce overall costs, ease the labor of managing a fleet of devices, and provide businesses with a better vision of the printing process, needs, and opportunities for efficiencies going forward.
With a strong sense of an organization’s operational, financial, and technological status, the chief information officer (CIO) typically plays a lead role in deciding what and when to implement MPS or managed document services (MDS).
In the November/December 2013 issue of DPS, we outlined market share leaders providing MPS/MDS services. With this article, we offer a follow-up by presenting real-world examples of the practices in action.
How Lexmark is Helping Companies Print Less, and Growing Its Business in the Process
By Lyndsey Gilpin March 6, 2014
Think about how many times you've started printing a document and realized there was a mistake. You try to cancel it, but pages are already spewing out the printer. Or another common situation: you don't want all those excess pages with photos, ads, and hyperlinks. You leave it in the printer bed. On a good day, someone puts the paper in the recycling bin. The majority of the time, however, the pages are tossed in the trash, only to pile up in a landfill unnecessarily.
One in six pages of printed paper is never picked up, and in the entire lifetime of a printer, up to 80 percent of the machine's carbon impact comes from the amount of pages printed.
