Lexmark 的智能打印方案协助马国际回大 改善打印效率和更节省多达 30 巴仙

吉隆坡 4 月 XX 日讯 - Lexmark 国际 (马来西亚) 私人有限公司 (NYSE: LXK) 已通过其方案伙伴 Ambang Ideal 私人有限公司，成功为马来西亚国际回教大学(马国际回大)改善打印效率和更节省多达 30 巴仙。Lexmark 已经在马国际回大位于鹅唛，关丹，八打灵再也和白沙罗的四座校园安装了 Lexmark Document Accounting Solution (LDAS) 及超过 20 台多功能打印机(MFPs)。

在使用 Lexmark 的服务三年之后，马国际回大每年节省 30 巴仙或大约 RM100,000 至RM150,000 的打印开销。这项节省已让马国际回大的管理层，以及其 150 雇员和超过20,000 名学生从中受惠。Muhammad Shukri Mustaffa, Managing Director, Ambang Ideal Sdn Bhd, Puan Nooraini Ismail, Chief Librarian,IIUM dan Larry Leow, Country Manager, Malaysia, Lexmark International.

据马国际回大的首席图书管理员 Nooraini Ismail 女士透露，"在落实 Lexmark 系统之前，我们在确保打印配备处于良好运作状况方面遭遇层出不穷的问题，这些打印机会因为大量使用和缺乏定期保养而出现故障。由于本大学的图书馆有提供付费打印服务，我们也面对记录学生之打印次数和向他们收费等难题。此外，这项打印服务仅限于数台桌面个人电脑，因此用户往往得排长龙。另一方面，对于员工而言，在无需外部支援之下以合理成本解决打印问题也是一项不小的挑战。"

她又说: "这种情况经常对学生造成不便，导致他们必须驾车到最接近的校园外影印中心始能完成打印工作，这是因为校园内的供应商仅提供影印服务。对于没有自备交通工具的国际学生而言，这更是一项极大的不便。那些拥有本身之打印机者则面对消耗部件极为昂贵和完成课程后难以脱售打印机的烦恼。"

"由于马国际回大的图书馆是以 ISO 规格作为基准，我们致力解决学生们常有的投诉和回馈，并十分认真看待与打印服务有关的问题。为了解决这项问题，马国际回大评估了多家提供外包全面打印方案的公司，以让员工和学生受惠及节省成本和调高效率。" Nooraini 女士如是解释道。

"整体上，我们所洽议的供应商都有能力供应软件和配备以满足学生的需求和本校管理层的要求。然而，Lexmark 和系统加上 Ambang Ideal 作为伙伴则使到其独一无二的建议名列榜首，这是基于其管理式打印服务提供商概念，而非如一般报价规定的购买或租赁配备计划。" 她说道。

Nooraini 女士表示: "在遴选供应商方面，我们优先考虑物有所值。选择 Lexmark 意味着该服务提供商将承担在机器，软件和应用方面的所有投资。我们得依照服务水平协议(SLA)以监督其表现，并不时进行评估。除了物有所值之外，我们也评估了员工和学生简易使用，快速安装，资讯科技员工快捷上手，以及供应商的售后服务和顾客关系素质等因素。"

Nooraini 女士在提及决定外包打印服务的原因时说，"尽管对马国际回大而言，这是一个相当新的概念，我们深信外包打印服务乃是本校一直在寻觅的方案，因为它将可一劳永逸解决图书馆和马国际回大校园一带的打印烦恼。这项服务也能提升本校作为一所现代化大学的形象，这是因为马来西亚其他大学已就这项事务征求我们的意见。"

Lexmark 国际驻我国经理 Larry Leow 先生指出，"在评估马国际回大的打印需求后，我们决定推荐 Lexmark Document Accounting Solution (LDAS)，它提供即时核算，预付功能，以减少不必要打印所造成的浪费，并献予用户具灵活性的安全打印环境。通过我们的方案伙伴 Ambang Ideal 私人有限公司进行的落实和用户培训程序可在 7 天之内完成，堪称两全其美。"

"Lexmark Document Accounting Solution (LDAS) 的落实对马国际回大确实十分有用。学生和员工皆享受 Lexmark 的打印方案，资讯科技部则可接触打印基本建设方面的最新科技。管理层现可精确监督学生对打印资源的使用量，并利用学生证准确地向他们收取打印和影印费。学生将可影印和打印已存档的文件或在位于校园内各策略性地点的 Lexmark打印站进行扫描。他们甚至可每周 7 天将连接至学生证的打印工作存档于大学的伺服机，与此同时，他们亦可在线阅读或删除已存档的资料。因此，学生，甚至员工，将变得更了解和对他们的打印习惯负责。此系统已协助我们大大节省纸张和墨汁，以迈向更节省和绿化的环境。" Nooraini 又说。

Ambang Ideal 私人有限公司董事经理 Encik Muhammad Shukri Mustaffa 则说，"我们对马国际回大能节省大量配备故障时间和学生投诉大量减少感到欣慰，其人力资源部则无需因此而承担额外成本。由于 Ambang Ideal 负责管理 Lexmark MFPs，消耗部件的供应和提供技术支援，我们可协助减少马国际回大在打印，影印和扫描方面的资产管理问题。"

Lexmark brings industry leaders together for first “Print Less. Save More” summit

Malaysian companies discover how to save up to 40 per cent on printing costs

Kuala Lumpur, 1 December 2011: Lexmark recently held its first “Print Less. Save More” summit to educate Malaysian organisations about how to achieve great savings on printing costs. The workshop and networking session in at The Gardens Hotel and Residences revealed the hidden costs of document output that affect most companies. It introduced smart solutions that companies can implement to streamline workflow for improved productivity and more savings, and discussed practices that other companies are adopting to reduce capital expenses and better manage operating costs.

Hosted by Larry Leow, Acting County Manager for Lexmark Malaysia, the event was attended by senior IT personnel from 17 companies across various industries. Also present were George Ang and Jamie Atherton from Lexmark Asia Pacific.
Participants with Larry Leow, Acting County Manager for Lexmark Malaysia

Huge cost savings and greening opportunities revealed
According to Leow:
• Know the importance of having managed print output. A system that can monitor printing activity and identify potential cost savings can achieve savings of up to 40 per cent.
• Wastage is more common than you think. As many as 67% of organisations have unmanaged print output. Worse, in an indiscriminate printing environment, as many as 1 in 6 pages is discarded unread.
• Less expenditure on printing resources = less expenditure of company revenue = more profit!
• It’s easier than ever to go green. Track printing output down to the last sheet to control wastage. Companies can even reward prudent use of printing resources to motivate green behaviour.
• Keep in mind Lexmark’s Managed Print Solutions cost savings philosophy: The lowest cost per page is the page that was never printed.

An eye-opener for participants
One of the participants said, “Many organisations also do not realise that other than the wastage of printing supplies, additional wastage that can occur, especially in companies that use old printers due to the legacy system, include the cost of repairs during frequent equipment breakdown and loss of productivity hours during equipment down time.”

Many of the summit’s participants were surprised that they were not alone with their printing woes, as other companies from the same industry and beyond had also experienced the same issues.

“Lexmark’s summit today is a great event for introducing good printing solutions. Many of us had our eyes opened about the volume of savings that can be achieved by good management of printing resources within a company. Lexmark’s system is ideal for implementation in any company,” he added.

The summit ended with a dinner together with the Lexmark Malaysia team, representatives from Lexmark Singapore and members of Perceptive Concept’s team from Australia.

Plant-A-Tree programme with Lexmark Malaysia

Lexmark Malaysia’s staff participates in special ‘Plant-A-Tree with Meeco’ Event

Petaling Jaya, 4 November 2011: Lexmark International (M) Sdn Bhd recently took the opportunity to reinforce its corporate commitment to protecting natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of printing by participating in the ‘Plant-A-Tree with Meeco’ event at the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) in Kepong.

The community activity was organised in conjunction with the International Year of the Forest 2011 where the organisers hope to inspire Malaysians from all walks of life to consciously make an effort to plant at least one tree by the end of the year.

Larry Leow, Acting Country Manager, Malaysia, Lexmark International said, “At Lexmark, we strongly believe in our ‘Print Less, Save More’ strategy. We work with Malaysian businesses to ensure that they have an effective printing strategy to reduce wastage. Our philosophy is that by printing less and saving more, organisations can eliminate unnecessary output, which reduces the environmental impact, carbon footprint and at the same time also reduce business costs. It is a great package for organisations who are environmental and cost conscious. This practice also extends to the team at Lexmark and this initiative at the FRIM is a great example of where both individuals and organisations can make a difference.”

Lexmark Malaysia’s team arrived bright and early at FRIM and apart from planting the trees; they also took the opportunity to enjoy the fresh air and the luscious green surroundings of FRIM.

“For us at Lexmark Malaysia, it was also a good time to take a break from work and enjoy and appreciate what Mother Nature has given us and use this inspiration to continue to produce award-winning sustainable products.” Larry added.

Robust features include:

• Easy stand-alone printing, scanning, copying and faxing.
• Pigmented Lexmark evercolor2 ink, which is water resistant and offers increased resistance against fading and the smudging associated with highlighter pens.

Lexmark survey: Work-at-home pros say they do much to maintain environmentally friendly offices

Petaling Jaya - 09/21/2007

Professionals who work at home say they take numerous steps to make their home offices environmentally friendly.

That’s according to a new online survey commissioned by Lexmark International, Inc. (NYSE: LXK), a leading provider of printers and imaging products, services and solutions. The survey included 1,000 respondents in three categories:
• People who bring work home from the office on weeknights or weekends (48 percent of respondents).
• People who operate a home-based business (29 percent of respondents).
• People who telecommute from home at least periodically (23 percent of respondents).

Across all categories of respondents, 80 percent of respondents overall said they consider themselves “environmentally aware,” 84 percent said they are concerned about the environment, and 76 percent said they want to do more to help the environment.
Following are the activities respondents said they already do “always” or “sometimes”:
• Turn off lights when leaving room for more than a few minutes, 93 percent.
• Use power saving features on computer, 82 percent.
• Recycle paper, 80 percent.
• Use of energy efficient light bulbs, 77 percent.
• Use power saving features on printer, 74 percent.
• Recycle ink cartridges, 73 percent.
• Print on both sides of paper, 62 percent.
• Use a network printer to reduce energy use by multiple printers, 37 percent.

“Professionals who are working at home not only want to be more productive, they also want to reduce their impact on the environment. These goals do not need to be mutually exclusive,” said Paul A. Rooke, Lexmark executive vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division.

Rooke noted that Lexmark’s new line of wireless all-in-one (AIO) inkjet printers can help.1
The printers’ wireless capabilities enable users to work anywhere in the home that is accessible on their wireless networks, meaning that all of the computers in the house can print wirelessly to the same printer, eliminating the need for multiple printers and potentially different supplies items.

In addition, automatic two-sided printing is available on four models. This means users do not need to intervene to flip over paper in order to print on both sides of a page. While 62 percent of respondents said they always or sometimes print on both sides of a page, 77 percent said they would do so if the printer automated the two-sided printing process.

Four Lexmark models provide three-in-one or four-in-one wireless capabilities, responding to home office professionals’ need to copy, scan and fax while also eliminating the need for separate scanning, copying and faxing devices.

“Lexmark has for many years been helping our business customers print less, which helps them reduce their environmental impact. Now, our new wireless AIO printers can help you reduce the environmental impact of your home office too,” Rooke said.

Men represented 56 percent of respondents while women represented 44 percent. Respondents represented all regions of the U.S. in roughly equal proportions. Respondents were aged 18 through 64. The margin of error is +/- 3 percent.

Ninety percent of respondents said they believe wireless networks will be important to everyday life in their homes over the next five years. Forty percent of respondents said they have already installed wireless networks in their homes and said they use their wireless networks to connect numerous devices and to support a broad range of activities.

Of those with wireless networks at home, 47 percent of respondents worldwide said that the technology enables them to perform work-related activities in the home. Responses by country varied (differences of 5 percent or more are statistically significant):

“Harnessing the full productivity of your wireless home network requires that you be able to print wirelessly as well. That’s where Lexmark comes in. Our new line of wireless inkjet printers will take the pain out of wireless printing by making it easy and affordable,” said Najib Bahous, Lexmark vice president and president of its Consumer Printer Division.

Until now, consumers have been slow to embrace wireless printing because of the high price of the wireless printers in the market and the complexity involved in their installation and use.

With the introduction of its 2007 inkjet product line, Lexmark will offer the broadest, most affordable range of wireless printers in the market. Pricing starts at RM249.
Wireless printing enables users to print with the same freedom and mobility they enjoy when working on a wireless laptop computer. Users can place the printer anywhere in the home covered by their wireless networks. In addition, multiple computer users can enjoy the added convenience of sharing the same wireless printer, eliminating the need for multiple devices.
