Boundless Productivity: Computing and Printing On-the-Go for SMBs - Fri, 03 Feb 2012

If the last two decades were defined by the explosion of personal computing, the current decade will be defined by a great untethering. Now, you are free to work from anywhere, print from virtually anywhere and expand your productivity through the broadband wireless revolution and the devices that have grown out of it.

Mobile devices

Devices like smartphones are built for mobile multitasking, featuring full keyboards, 4G speed and web browser capability—all in a package small enough to fit in your back pocket (with room to spare). Laptops round out the personal computing options that can help you become—and stay—mobile.

Web-connected printers and mobile printing features

This new generation of mobile devices is supported by a network of complementary web-connected printers and wireless printing features that let you virtually print from anywhere to anywhere. Printers are now multi-functioning with features like ePrinting— allowing them to connect to the Internet directly and letting you print from anywhere with a web connection by emailing the printer’s unique email address.

With new tools and new technology available, web-connected printers can now provide extra benefits:

  • Save time: Attach your document to an email and hit send so it will be waiting in your print tray when you arrive in the office.
  • Streamline workflow: Save precious seconds while you’re on the go by sending information directly to in-house staff or colleagues working in satellite locations.
  • Improve client relationships: Share your printer’s email address with visiting clients and let them print important documents without the tedious process of installing software.
  • Work from anywhere: Print and share travel itineraries, directions, purchase confirmations and more, right from your mobile device.
  • Print when out-of-range of your wireless network: Print remotely from your smartphone using products like HP’s ePrint-enabled printers.
