Mobile and BYOD
Planning for, and facilitating mobile print solutions using your existing print infrastructure is made easier with PaperCut's Mobile and "Bring Your Own Device" (BYOD) features.With the lack of consistent standardization in the changing mobile device market, no single solution is able to provide print management and control for the entire array of devices available. Instead there are a number of solutions suited to catering for different mobile device platforms.
As PaperCut has evolved, features such as Web Print, iOS printing, Google Cloud Print and Email to Print have been developed to provide flexible BYOD print management that minimizes the need to alter network infrastructure.
Consolidated BYOD Print Management
The “Mobile & BYOD” configuration options made available with the latest release of PaperCut consolidates and centralizes each of these solutions all in one place.
With comprehensive yet easy-to-follow instructions, setting up and executing your plan for your network’s mobile device print strategy has never been easier!
Whether you need to track and control printing from iPads, iPhones or other iOS devices using PaperCut’s iOS Printing or need to set up a general management solution for all devices using PaperCut’s Email to Print or Web Print, you may tailor PaperCut’s Mobile & BYOD configuration to suit your network’s needs.
