Lexmark Newsroom

LAS VEGAS, July 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Today at Cisco Live, Cisco's annual IT and communications conference, Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK) announced its Mobile Print Application for the Cisco Cius™, a tablet purpose-built for the enterprise. Developed in-house, Lexmark's mobile solutions platform paves the way for rapid innovation to meet customer demands in the dynamic mobile device marketplace.

Lexmark's enterprise-class application, also compatible with other Android-based mobile devices, will be able to run on the Cisco Cius to enable easy-to-use mobile printing for knowledge workers across the enterprise without adding additional servers, a burden for IT management. Cisco Cius is an innovative, highly secure business tablet created for the enterprise that combines voice, video, collaboration, and virtualization capabilities in a single portable device. Mobile devices enabled on a company's corporate network should require little to no configuration to use Lexmark's Mobile Print Application.

Additionally, enterprise employees have the latitude to easily print documents from network-connected printers and multifunction products (MFPs) in their corporate environment.

While optimized to work with Lexmark printers and MFPs, it is anticipated that the Lexmark Mobile Print Application will support printing on other manufacturers' output devices that support standard file formats, such as pdf, jpeg and tiff.

Lexmark's Mobile Print Solution for the Cisco Cius will be available later this year via the Cisco AppHQ.
