I am told that effective immediately, all Lexmark employees are now Xerox employees.
For many, Lexmark's operating style has been slow and stalled. Now with Xerox, it is rush, rush and get things done.
Has Xerox approached your Lexmark BSD dealership yet to convert to a Xerox dealer?
I am told Xerox is taking an agressive approach to any Fujii dealer and saying you cannot be both. Any feedback on that? Is Xerox pushing back on any other brands a dealer might represent?
Xerox has been relabelling Lexmark A4 product for a few years now. Does Xerox now intend to market Lexmark A3 product?
Does Xerox intend to keep the Lexmark brand name alive?
The Lexmark 9 series copiers are not replacing Xerox copiers that use Fujifilm print engines. Xerox acquired Lexmark in a $1.5 billion deal. While the acquisition provides Xerox with access to Lexmark's technology, including the 9 Series A3 MFPs, it doesn't signal an immediate shift away from Fujifilm as a strategic supplier. Xerox has a recent agreement with Fujifilm that ensures continuity of supply for current and future products.
Here's why:
Lexmark 9 Series:
The Lexmark 9 series is known for its versatility, simplicity, and sustainability, and is well-regarded in the industry.
Xerox's Strategy:
Xerox is integrating Lexmark's technology to expand its market reach, particularly in the A4 color print market and geographic regions like APAC.
Fujifilm Relationship:
Xerox has a long-standing relationship with Fujifilm and recently extended its technology agreement with them, indicating a continued reliance on Fujifilm for some product lines.
Strategic Suppliers:
Xerox has stated that following the acquisition, it will operate as one brand globally, but this doesn't necessarily mean a complete replacement of one supplier with another.
Market Dynamics:
Fujifilm, after acquiring Xerox's stake in Fuji Xerox, has focused on its own print technologies and brand identity, indicating a move towards independence.
Competition:
The market for print technology is evolving, with companies like Lexmark and Fujifilm vying for market share, and Xerox is strategically positioning itself in this landscape through the acquisition.
Lexmark recently got back into the 11x17 size for machines. so, we will see how that goes as well. plus, now they generally don't include a fax. in the past all machines included fax. though i figure it is because so many are getting away from fax.
The latest Lexmark 9 Series ships with a 15k black and 12k CMY toners plus CMYK developers.
Will Xerox drop their Fujii A3 print engines and replace them with the 9 series?
When the original pricing came out the toners were only available in B 47.7K and colors at 46.9K. I told my rep that those were great yields but when a customer replaces all the toners and then the lease ends the next week there is $4,800.00 worth of toner installed in a machine that now needs to be shipped back. I said I wouldn't be selling any of them unless Lexmark made lower yield toners available. They did.
As a BSD delaer we have been told business as usual through the end of 2025.
I am told that Lexmark BSD dealers are now being called upon by their usual Lexmark (now Xerox) sales rep plus a new Xerox rep.
Lexmark is stil publishing their own promotions unique from Xerox.
The Xerox rep seems to be saying you can sell everything up to and including production printers but only Xerox can service and invoice the cpc.
The Xerox rep seems to be OK with a Lexmark BSD selling other brands like Toshiba in addition to Xerox.
The Lexmark 9 series toner seems expensive and the fact that the 9 series includes a free set of CMYK toner, after a customer prints 40k black and 40k colour prints is significantly more expensive.
I suspect by 2026 a lot of Lexmark employees will lose their jobs.
It might be a fun conversation if a Xerox rep calls.
The only real complaints I have with Lexmark is their online focus of non-BSD products and their tech support. We use tech support about twice a year and it is very very poor. Lexmark websites and almost all their documentation leads with non-BSD model numbers. A person has to dig to find that Lexmark actually has a product line that is supported by dealers.

i agree about the support. i understand new employees on their end. but when i call in for support,and i know more than the person on the support end knows, it looks bad. few years back i even found an issue lexmark was unaware of. twice they had me replace a controller board on a brand-new copier. the second time i didn't replace it. i was like hold on this shouldn't occur this often. come to find out they were gonna have to create a firmware fix. i kept following up with them for 3 weeks. after the 3rd week i found out my issue was sent to japan. after 2 or 3 more weeks they released a firmware fix. i believe that fix is now included in all copiers. would have been nice to get a lil something something for me finding it for them. and making them aware of it.
If nothing else we feel like the issues we find and alert them to should be named after us
Our IT tech asked for a second SMTP on Sharp equipment for years so that service alerts and MICAS emails would almost always go through. He even got to speak with some engineers from Japan at one of the shows. Eventually it became available.
About the only time we use the Sharp hotline is to point out a problem with the equipment. We spend days and hours on an issue before we call the hotline.
Strengthening Our Partnership: Updates on our Integration and Leadership
Dear valued partner,
I want to personally thank you for your continued partnership. Your trust and collaboration are the foundation of our success, and we remain deeply committed to growing together.
I want to take a moment to address some of the questions and feedback we have received following the recent acquisition of Lexmark and the Xerox leadership changes shared on August 11. These developments mark an exciting new chapter for our business and for our partner ecosystem.
Effective September 1, I assumed the role of Chief Revenue Officer, overseeing both our direct and indirect print go-to-market units. I am honored to continue serving our partner community in this expanded capacity.
As we work to integrate Lexmark into Xerox, maintaining operational efficiency is top of mind. Our goal is to align best-in-class technologies across both organizations and manage the transitions with care. At the same time, you can expect us to bring forward opportunities to expand your capabilities and product portfolio to leverage the entire breadth of the combined companies.
Below are a few key updates to reaffirm our strategic approach to ensure clarity and confidence as we move forward:
Lexmark Partner Program: Continuity and Clarity
The Lexmark program will continue through 2026, evolving thoughtfully through our annual program cycle, ensuring the program remains aligned with partner needs and market opportunities while preserving the elements that have made it successful, such as the unique product lines built for the channel, beyond-the-box solutions like cloud that differentiate, compelling financial rewards, and partner-centric service support. We specifically will continue to maintain our BSD offering and related BSD program. We’re committed to enhancing value where it makes sense, while honoring what works.
One Unified Partner Program
While we preserve the strength of today’s Lexmark program, we are working toward a single, unified partner program that brings together the best of both Xerox and Lexmark. This will be a thoughtful evolution, not a rushed change. Stay tuned as we provide more information.
Channel Conflict
We remain fully committed to a partner-centric strategy. Your local business development efforts are essential to our shared success, and we will not introduce unnecessary competition that undermines them. As part of our Reinvention, we’re expanding our digital solutions and offerings—designed specifically to fuel your growth and strengthen your market position.
Consistent Engagement
Lexmark partners should continue to collaborate with the same teams and processes. We respect the relationship models that have worked well. Any future changes will be communicated transparently and in advance.
Portfolio Strategy
The Lexmark portfolio, comprising of our Classic and BSD product lines, remains a key part of our go-to-market strategy. Over time, Lexmark and Xerox offerings will converge to provide partners with even greater breadth and flexibility. In the meantime, we are assessing targeted portfolio expansion opportunities and will share more information as it becomes available.
Lexmark Brand
As with our portfolio strategy, we will look to eventually evolve the Lexmark brand and integrate it with the Xerox brand. This will be done with care and will take time. For the time being, both brands will continue to exist, and additional updates will follow as we align brand and portfolio decisions.
Service Delivery
Partner-led service models will remain intact. Your service quality is foundational to the client experience, and we trust the work you do.
In short, we are integrating thoughtfully — choosing the best from both organizations and staying true to our guiding principle: do what’s right for the partner, the client, and the long-term growth of the business
As always, I welcome your questions and suggestions. Your feedback shapes our strategy, and your success is our success.
Thank you again for your partnership and trust. I look forward to what we’ll achieve together. For additional details, please refer to our Frequently Asked Questions.
A favorite resort of the foreign residents of Yokohama during the summer months is the island of Enoshima. It is about twenty miles away, and is a noted place of pilgrimage for the Japanese, on account of certain shrines that are reputed to have a sacred character. Doctor Bronson arranged that his party should pay a visit to this island, as it was an interesting spot, and they could have a glimpse of Japanese life in the rural districts, and among the fishermen of the coast. "But as we are in for it," he continued, "we must make the best of the situation, and hope to go through in safety. Many a strong ship lies at the bottom of the sea, where she was sent by just such a storm as we are about to pass through, and many another has barely escaped. I was once on a ship in the China seas, when the captain told the passengers that it would be a miracle if we remained half an hour longer afloat. But hardly had he done speaking when the wind fell, the storm abated, and we were safe. The typhoon is to these waters what the hurricane is to the West Indies; it is liable to blow at any time between April and September, and is often fearfully destructive. OPIUM-PIPE. OPIUM-PIPE. "Surely your ladyship knows Dr. Bruce!" Hetty said with a vivid splash of colour on either cheek "A little time ago I understood that Dr. Bruce----" "I require that everywhere a strict investigation shall take place into the conduct of the soldiers with regard to the life and property of the civilian population. "Where were they buried?" They all pressed forward. "Count out. That's the only fair way," shouted the boys in the center. "Now, there's three loaves o' bread for the Sargint," said Harry, laying them down on a newspaper. "There's three for the Corpril; there's three for me; there's three for you." "'T?un't peas, thick 'un," Vennal would break in uproariously, "it's turnips—each of 'em got a root like my fist." At this moment of perplexity, some medicine, that she had obtained from Edith, occurred to her, and, with a feeling of confidence, and almost of extacy, she took a phial from a shelf in a cupboard where she had placed it, and, pouring out the contents in a large spoon, hesitated an instant ere she administered it. "Let me see," said she; "surely it was a large spoonful Edith told me to give—yet all that was in the phial doesn't fill the spoon. Surely I can't be wrong: no—I remember she said a large spoonful, and we didn't talk of any thing else—so I must be right." But Mary still hesitated, till, hearing a sudden noise in the court-yard, which, she conjectured, was her mistress returned, and as the child was getting worse every moment, she leaned back its head, and, forcing open its mouth, compelled the patient, though with difficulty, to swallow its death. The draught was taken; the rigid muscles relaxed, and for a minute the child lay motionless in her lap; but in an instant after, Mary could scarcely suppress a shriek at the horrid sight that met her gaze. The eyes opened, and glared, and seemed as if starting from the head—the fair face and the red lips, were blue, deepening and deepening, till settling in blackness—the limbs contracted—the mouth opened, and displayed a tongue discoloured and swollen—then came a writhing and heaving of the body, and a low, agonized moan: and, as Mary looked almost frantic at this dreadful sight, Edith's words, when she had given her the phial, "that there was enough there to kill," suddenly occurred to her—and then, too, came, with a dreadful distinctness, the remembrance of the true directions which Edith had given. It was nearly noon the next day, when the under-sheriff entered the room to ask if their opinions were yet unanimous. The galleyman still refused. "That for ye, coward," said Tyler, striking him with the flat side of his bared weapon. Oakley aimed another thrust which was again turned aside, and the smith, now flinging down his sword, seized upon his right hand and wrenched the dagger from its grasp. After a short struggle, Oakley fell heavily on the pavement with the blood streaming from his mouth and nostrils. HoME萝拉泷泽第4部资源
