Lexmark has announced updates to its Lexmark Cloud Services Platform, including Lexmark Translation Assistant (LTA), a solution that provides real-time document translation services. Customers can scan documents in the original language using a Lexmark MFP, select the appropriate output language from several choices and receive a translated document within minutes.

"Lexmark Cloud Services provides a more efficient and affordable path to print management success through a full suite of print-optimizing capabilities," said Brock Saladin, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, Lexmark. "Lexmark's newest cloud software solution is a tool that our customers call game-changing — Lexmark Translation Assistant. LTA helps customers such as Fayette County Public Schools overcome language barriers by making printed translations easy and accessible via a cloud-connected Lexmark multifunction printer (MFP)."

In addition to LTA, Lexmark also launched Lexmark Cloud Scan Management, a cloud-based portal, and several upgrades to Lexmark Cloud Print Management offerings.

• Linux Lexmark Print Management Client (LPMC) provides a version of the LPMC for submitting jobs into CPM from Linux, plus redesign of the Client Download Page with the additional selection for Linux.
• Microsoft Universal Print integration provides a connector that enables Microsoft Universal Print to submit jobs through CPM.
