Lexmark’s Lexmark 9-Series
Constructed by enhancing Lexmark’s well-known A4 technology, the 9-Series is primarily concerned with providing adaptability, sustainability, and simplicity. The business began with its highly regarded A4 technology and expanded it over many years of research, development, and experimentation. The end product is a range of highly advanced, feature-rich A3 devices that are simple to handle, service, and feel good about.
“With the introduction of our new internally developed A3 platform, the Lexmark 9-Series offers all the benefits of a simpler A4 device in a fully featured A3 package,” said Melanie Hudson, Lexmark senior vice president and chief commercial officer. “And of course, the line retains our commitment to products, services, and solutions that are reliable, durable, cost-saving and Secure by Design.”
According to the report, the Lexmark 9-Series enhances productivity in any business setting, be it a manufacturing facility, sales floor, healthcare facility, front office, or back office, with its array of accessibility features, interchangeable paper-handling options, and workflow software capabilities.
“The 9-Series proves that sophisticated technology doesn’t have to be complicated,” said Matt Dollus, vice president of global marketing at Lexmark. “This new line of printers and MFPs is an industry disruptor.”
The Lexmark 9-Series is composed of eight models: the Lexmark CX963, CX962, CX961, CS963, CX833, CX951, CX950 and MX953.
The Model Features
The 9-Series offers a broad range of media size support (A6 to SRA3), high-volume duty cycles, a common set of modular paper-handling options, finishing capabilities, and professional color features, including PANTONE® calibration.
The intuitive interface streamlines workflows by providing simple instructions and prompts. For routine maintenance, toner cartridges can be replaced with one hand, easily understood visual cues are displayed, and serviceable areas are easy to access and identify.
The report stated that the total post-consumer recycled (PCR) content is 56% by weight for all base-model MFPs and 73% by weight for the line’s base-model printer, based on IEEE calculation procedures — figures that lead the industry. The space-saving, energy-efficient design helps reduce the carbon footprint. And all this comes from a company that technology analyst firm Quocirca named a leader in sustainability, noting that Lexmark “sets a remarkable standard in the industry.”
Durability and Availability
The 9-Series is designed and built to last seven years or more. Having a few components helps reduce the likelihood of technical failure while also minimizing the service time required for repairs and maintenance. According to Lexmark testing, experienced technicians can perform the 10 most common service actions, even highly complex tasks, in less than 15 minutes.
The Lexmark CX963, CX962, CX961, CS963 and CX833 models are scheduled to be available in June. However, the Lexmark CX951, CX950 and MX953 models are scheduled to be available in the first quarter of 2025.
