Lexmark Document Distributor optimizes Paper Handling

New York, N.Y. — Lexmark International, Inc. introduces its Document Distributor software for use with OptraImage multifunction printers. Lexmark Document Distributor automates and streamlines common document management tasks, such as converting, archiving, duplicating and distributing documents to enhance productivity and reduce costs associated with document production and distribution.

Document management is a critical process for every business. Effective management of document production and distribution can have a dramatic impact on the overall quality, effectiveness and cost of conducting business.

"Using Lexmark's OptraImage multifunction printers with our new Document Distributor software is a powerful combination for customers looking to automate document flow for improved document impact and reduced costs," said Keith Moody, director of application solutions for worldwide marketing at Lexmark.

With the Windows-based Lexmark Document Distributor, multiple document production and distribution tasks can be streamlined into a few easy steps. Using the software and an OptraImage multifunction printer, customers can:
  • process documents to convert them into a desired format, such as scanning and editing images or plain text
  • quickly and automatically distribute documents to desired destinations via e-mail, fax or an output device such as another printer or fax machine
  • automatically archive documents on network servers
These document production and distribution process improvements helped save time, reduce costs, improve the service provided and speed the sharing of valuable information about a hot prospect in a competitive employment environment. Lexmark Document Distributor, in this instance, turned the tedious, manual process of making several copies and then mailing, faxing and archiving those copies into one easy button push.

End-users will benefit from Lexmark's new software because fewer steps will be needed to accomplish day-to-day work tasks, saving time and increasing productivity. Business owners and managers will benefit from the lower overall cost of getting work done. System administrators will benefit from increased user satisfaction and easy integration into current workflow processes.

The flexibility and easy customization of the Lexmark Document Distributor software make it ideal for process automation in a variety of organizations, including banks, pharmacies, healthcare and government offices. Companies using Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange will also enjoy the cost savings associated with process automation available with features found in the Lexmark Document Distributor - Advanced Edition.
