Lexmark

🚀 Innovation is one of our core values at Lexmark. We’re always striving to make things better. 💡 On Nov. 21, we hosted the inaugural LexShow, a one-day in-house technology and innovation conference at our global headquarters in Lexington, Ky. The event was a fantastic opportunity for employees to learn, share ideas and network around how their fellow Lexmarkers are innovating. Attendees enjoyed a series of talks, panels, and presentations on various topics, showcasing the exceptional work happening across our company, from user experience and AI to employee compensation and supply chain. In the afternoon, there were lab tours, live demonstrations, interactive booths and hands-on experiences. 🙌 Thanks to everyone who participated and made LexShow a success. #LexShow #Innovation #Lexmark #Technology #Networking

🤔 How can schools and other organizations overcome language barriers when they need to share documents with people who speak different languages? Marty DeGraff, an industry director at Lexmark, showcased our solution to that communication challenge — a real-time, printer-based document translation tool called Lexmark Translation Assistant — at the recent Microsoft Ignite conference in Chicago. Marty’s talk was part of a session demonstrating the practical applications of AI translation for global organizations. 🌎 With Translation Assistant, which uses Microsoft’s AI translation engine, you just scan a document into an enabled Lexmark MFP, click a few buttons, and within seconds, you have the same document translated into one of dozens of languages that you can choose from. 😮 It’s a wow-inducing tool that has applications in so many scenarios in our increasingly global world.

🔭Great things in the making! 🌟 ♻️Advancing the circular economy is one of Lexmark’s missions. For that, we’re teaming up – as the exclusive partner of the print industry - with other companies and stakeholders from all over Europe in two EU-funded projects, called DiCiM Project and CE-RISE Project.🇪🇺 This week, we were proud hosts to the DiCiM bi-annual General Assembly in our Lexmark Budapest office for an intense and engaging two-day power sessions. The project's quest is to accelerate circular economy business models by the power of digitization, such as: 💻 The Internet of Things (IoT) 🎰 Machine Learning (ML) 🤖 Artificial Intelligence (AI) 📈 Big Data 👓 Augmented Reality (AR) The ultimate goal is to create an Open Access Digital Platform (OADP), that will be open to a larger audience, such as OEMs, remanufacturers and users, facilitating the return, repair and remanufacturing of electronic goods. This will help save raw material. While this goal will present a major leap in terms of advancing the circular economy for companies and customers alike, many granular steps are required for this.👣The latter are being taken, during a four-year long period, by experts and engineers with a deep knowledge of their products and the digital solutions in question, working meticulously in the background.🔎 These kind of get-togethers allow them to have fruitful cross-border exchanges, assessing their progress, sharing best-practices, discussing challenges and leveraging synergies…💬 …all the while having some fun too and enjoying the rich history and beauty of European cities, such as Budapest.🏰🇭🇺 🙏Thank you, to all DiCiM members, for coming to Budapest, for your time, work and dedication, in particular to Farazee Asif from KTH Royal Institute of Technology for leading this project and for gently remindng everyone that it’s almost half-time to deliver results…. “No pressure”😉 🙏A special “thank you” goes to the Lexmark DiCiM/CE-RISE team, Maxime Furkel, Gyorgy Szemeredi, Janos Batyai and Levente Benei, for being such great hosts and organizing this General Assembly so well.

🌟 Exciting times at Field Service Connect 2024 in Austin, Texas! 🌟 The Lexmark team was on site at last week's field service conference to share how our Connected Products solutions and Optra technology can drive business outcomes for our customers. This year's theme, "Revolutionizing Service Through Innovation and the Human Touch," really resonated with our mission. With senior-level service executives from various industries in attendance, the event was a fantastic opportunity to connect and collaborate. On Tuesday, Lexmark IoT portfolio director Demetrios Karathanasis delivered a keynote address, "Shifting from Defense to Offense: Unlocking Service Innovation and Revenue Growth," which highlighted Lexmark's own service journey. We also brought a taste of Kentucky to Austin with a signature bourbon tasting event, giving select attendees a unique Bluegrass experience. 🥃 This year, we've also attended Field Service Medical, Field Service Palm Springs and Field Service Orlando. Field Service Connect is the fourth event in this series produced by Worldwide Business Research (WBR) targeting leaders in field service. We're looking forward to more conversations about how our innovative solutions can help the field service industry. 🚀 #FieldServiceConnect #Lexmark #Innovation #ConnectedProducts #OptraTechnology #ServiceExcellence

Frankfurt – Budapest – Paris – London. It was a high-energy week for our Lexmark Europe offices as our EMEA Managing Directors Michael Lang, Jean-Michel Sauvaud and Arjan Paulussen as well as Gabriella Fodor, who was covered by Cecília Balogh, welcomed our CEO, Allen Waugerman to their respective offices. Lexmark EMEA Vice President Thomas Valjak and EMEA Sales Vice President Danny Molhoek accompanied Allen on his whirlwind tour.

Allen, thank you for taking your time, for listening and for your inspirational words. It was greatly appreciated!💚

This Halloween, don't dream of your printer turning into a monster! 🎃 We've all had these nightmares... the dreaded paper jam, the endless toner replacements, the faded colors, the printer that JUST WON'T CONNECT. 😩

🛡️ Lexmark takes security very seriously. That’s why we participate in events like the recent 2024 #Pwn2Own competition, from Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative, in Cork, Ireland, where we offered up our devices for “white hat” hackers to try to infiltrate. Yes, you read that correctly. We wanted our printers and MFPs to get hacked. ❓ Why? Pwn2Own allows top security researchers to test our devices, helping us improve their security. One of Lexmark’s security experts, Sean Gibbons, was on the ground, learning from hackers and other participants, all with the goal of gaining valuable insights to enhance our protections. Those insights help us immediately remediate any vulnerabilities that are uncovered. We then communicate that directly to our customers at the Lexmark Security Advisories site. 🔒 Learn more about Lexmark’s Secure by Design approach: https://bit.ly/3bI7tys #Lexmark #SecurebyDesign #WhiteHatHacking #Cybersecurity #Innovation

And thanks to Buffalo Trace Distillery 🥃 and Keeneland Association 🏇 for helping us showcase Kentucky hospitality at its finest. #IoT #partnership #innovation

Sustainability has long been a core pillar of Lexmark’s strategy, and a key architect of that pillar has been John D. Gagel, our chief sustainability officer. With profound sadness we share that John died suddenly and unexpectedly on Monday. John leaves behind a beautiful family, friends far and wide, a global community of colleagues who were fortunate to work with him, and a sterling legacy in an industry where he truly excelled. A 25-year Lexmarker and former science teacher, John brought his educational background to his approach to work. He was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about sustainability, and driven to make a difference. Yet what many who knew him recall most is that despite his expertise and achievements, he remained humble and humane. Thanks to John and his team, Lexmark’s sustainability program is award-winning, innovative and always going one step further than is required. We are committed to ensuring his legacy lives on in the continuation of his work. In his honor, his family asks that you plant a tree.
