We work in an international economy and people are constantly on the move, but still in need of access to their data.
Laptops, smartphones, and tablets enabled the mobilization of the workplace; now cloud computing is allowing people to not only stay in contact but to do their job from almost anywhere, by providing access to their files and information, even when they’re nowhere near their office.
When you save your data in the cloud, it can be retrieved from anywhere with a Wi-Fi connection, but what happens when you need to print when you’re not in the office? Mobile printing gives you the ability to actual hard or paper copies of your electronic files. With on-demand, mobile printing you can print any type of file from any remote location. Being away from the office no longer means being away from the printer. Mobile printing can happen in one of three ways:
- Emailing your document to the desired printer’s unique email address, and receiving in return a release code to enter into the device to permit your documents to print
- Uploading your document to a website, selecting a printer from a directory of nearby locations, then being given a release code to enter into the printer to print your files
- Using an app on your mobile device to locate a printer, email it your document, and have it provide you with a release code, then entering that code into the printer to print your files
Mobile printing eliminates the need to install print drivers and is a tremendous resource for remote employees, mobile workers, and on-the-go executives. Imagine being out of the office and realizing you need to edit a document that you’re presenting to a customer later that day?
Mobile printing enables you to access the source file remotely, make the desired revisions, then print out new copies of the updated document from virtually anywhere.
This convenience empowers you to freely and successfully work independently of your office, and that’s why there’s such a buzz about mobile printing.
