EFI PrintMe
Easy and Convenient Mobile Print Solution*
The rapid increase of consumers using their mobile devices for business purposes is driving the need for print functionality in those devices. To print from such devices—and even laptops for mobile workers—has historically been a challenge. To do this, one required special printing applications, special printers for particular devices, or new printer drivers. In other cases, one would need to transfer files to mediums such as USB drives or create online storage accounts. Equally inconvenient, mobile workers had to wait until they were back at their desks to print their documents. But that was then.
EFI’s MEAP® application, EFI PrintMe, changes all that. The MEAP application makes mobile printing from smartphones, tablets, and laptops as easy as sending an e-mail. Users can easily and conveniently send documents from their mobile devices through EFI’s PrintMe Service via [email protected] or through printme.com for output on Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE multifunction office products (MFPs).
