In our context, Lexmark is an external system for signage and labeling, both digitally and on paper. The external interface to this system can be based on either web services or text files, with Chain Classic using the latter option.
The Lexmark system includes a database with its own item/price registers, label templates and store setup. The input file contents (label batches) are also stored in the database, so when future price changes are exported from Chain Classic these will be available in Lexmark when a store wants to print out labels before the changes take effect.
