Lexmark MX410, MX51x Forms and Bar Code Card

Experience faster, smarter document workflows with the Lexmark MX410 and MX51x Forms and Bar Code Card. This compact, high-value add-on is designed to transform how you create, store, and print forms directly from your Lexmark printer. By moving form generation and barcode printing into the device, you eliminate the need for complex server configurations, reduce IT overhead, and streamline routine business processes. Whether you’re handling invoices, shipping labels, asset tracking, or customer forms, this card integrates seamlessly with the MX410 and MX51x series to deliver consistent, accurate outputs with minimal setup. The result is a more agile printing environment—lower total cost of ownership, faster turnaround times, and less risk of form drift or misprints across devices in your office or small business fleet.

• Fast, serverless deployment for immediate results: The Forms and Bar Code Card enables you to generate, store, and print electronic forms straight from the printer. There is no need to configure or maintain a separate server or middleware, which drastically simplifies rollout across a small fleet of Lexmark devices. This means IT teams spend less time on deployment and more time delivering value, while end users experience fewer steps to reach a finished document. As soon as the card is installed, you can access a library of forms and templates, ready to customize and print with a few taps on the printer’s control panel. This capability is especially valuable for departments that frequently reprint standardized documents or require rapid form changes in response to evolving business needs.
• Forms stored in printer memory for easy access and version control: Once created or imported, forms are saved directly in the printer’s memory. This eliminates the risk of mismatched forms across devices and ensures consistent branding, fields, and layouts across users. With forms residing on the MX410 or MX51x, you gain quick retrieval, reliable rendering, and the ability to update a form in one place and push the change across compatible devices. The result is tighter control over document formats, improved accuracy of data capture, and a smoother user experience for operators who print routinely from shared printers.
• Barcode generation and printing integration: The Form and Bar Code Card extends beyond simple form handling by enabling barcode-ready fields within forms. This enhances data capture, automation, and workflow integration. Use barcodes for asset tagging, shipment tracking, inventory reconciliation, or any process where rapid, machine-readable data entry is essential. With barcode support embedded in forms, your organization can accelerate scanning operations in receiving, shipping, or field services, reducing manual data entry errors and speeding up downstream processes. The card’s barcode capabilities work harmoniously with Lexmark printers’ print engine to deliver clean, scannable barcodes every time.
• Low initial investment for small device fleets and scalable growth: For small offices or departments beginning their journey toward smarter forms management, this card offers a cost-effective entry point. There’s no expensive server infrastructure to purchase or maintain, and you can start with a single printer and gradually expand as needs grow. The on-printer forms library helps you phase in new templates and reduce printing costs associated with outsourcing or reprinting complex forms. Over time, the card contributes to higher productivity and better control over document workflows, all while keeping upfront expenditures predictable.
• Easy, plug-and-play compatibility with Lexmark MX410 and MX51x series: The Forms and Bar Code Card is designed for seamless integration with Lexmark MX410 and MX51x devices. Installation is straightforward, with no complicated software installations or network configurations required. Once inserted, the card is managed from the printer’s user interface, allowing you to edit forms, configure barcode fields, and assign templates to users or departments. This intuitive setup helps minimize downtime and accelerates time-to-value, making it an ideal solution for teams who want to improve form accuracy and speed without extensive IT involvement.
