Lexmark
The new Lexmark X950 series of LED A3 MFPs, which include the X950de, X952dte, and X954dhe, replaces the X940e and X945e models. The new machines offer print, copy, scan and fax functionality.
Sharp
The market for fully functioned A4 monochrome MFPs, such as the MX-B402, is being driven by the relatively low prices of these devices compared to their A3 counterparts. In tough economic times, many companies are willing to sacrifice 11 x 17-inch paper-handling ability for cost savings. While the MX-B402 will compete against a crowded field of competitors, Sharp's low cost-per-page figures provide it with a strong competitive point of differentiation.
Xerox
With the launch of the new 5700 family, Xerox joins a number of OEMs that have launched new Series 3 and 4 units in the past year. The bad economy has breathed new life into the markets for higher-end monochrome MFPs, because they provide lower operating costs than color units with similar feature sets.

Occupying the center of Xerox's new WorkCentre 5700 family of A3/tabloid black-and-white MFPs are the WorkCentre 5755 and 5765. Xerox has limited distribution of the line to its direct sales forces, authorized Xerox sales agents, and Global Imaging Systems.

The WorkCentre 5775 and 5790 sit atop Xerox's WorkCentre 5700 family of A3/tabloid black-and-white MFPs. There are seven units in the 5700 family, which replace Xerox's WorkCentre 5600 line. Both new units are for in-plant repro operations and print-for-pay shops.
