Mobile Printing For Those On The Go

Don Linder • June 1, 2021

Nowadays, multifunction printers can literally do it all. If you have no time to fire up that desktop, or if you simply want the convenience of printing straight from your smart phone, tablet or wireless device, mobile printing might be the way to go. This is especially beneficial for companies whose employees work on multiple types of devices, across multiple locations.
According to research from the International Data Corporation, organizations are adopting mobile devices at a fevered pace, with large/medium companies leading the way. And these mobile device users are increasingly interested in printing directly from their devices.

In my experience, the paperless office doesn’t completely happen for most organizations. Even companies that have tried to go paperless still find themselves needing to print various files to paper, or needing to scan various

paper sources of data into digital files.

Mobile printing lets employees easily bridge that gap. Companies across a diverse range of industries can benefit from embracing mobile printing. For example, a real estate office could help its salespeople to print sales documents or legal forms directly from their iPads, without having to log on to their desktops. Field staff who need to include pictures taken on site can print them as part of their report. Multifunction printers can also benefit those without smart devices — frequently needed documents can be saved onto the printer itself and printed at the touch of a button.

This could help organizations with a large number of casual employees or volunteers, such as a church or nonprofit group. A trucking company could help their drivers (who typically don’t have desks, or computers) to print out trip logs or forms.

Think how useful it could be to print forms as and when they are needed, without having to set aside a desktop computer and space for that task. Your best employees want to be as efficient and productive as possible. Mobile printing is quick, easy and hassle-free. Give your employees the tools to be the best they can be!
