In many companies, smartphones are just as common as a laptop or the office printer. With essential apps like Microsoft Teams and ERP systems available on mobile or in the browser, everything seems effortless on an iPhone – except printing. But with Workplace Pure, smartphone printing is just as easy as using your laptop, thanks to its seamless integration with Apple AirPrint.
Printing from a smartphone can feel like a hassle. Firstly, is the printer you want to use even connected to Wi-Fi? Where is it located? Do you need an app - maybe even a different app - for each printer? And does all of this work with the cloud? What should be a simple task can easily turn into a frustrating experience, one that shouldn’t interrupt your working day.
On top of that, security concerns have stopped some companies from allowing smartphone printing altogether. Security concerns are not just about data traveling over Wi-Fi either, there’s also the risk of sensitive documents landing in the wrong printer and, even worse, the wrong hands.
Secure Cloud Printing Meets AirPrint – A Seamless Solution
Printing from a company iPhone doesn’t have to be complicated. Thanks to the powerful combination of Konica Minolta’s Workplace Pure and AirPrint, mobile printing is easier and more efficient than ever. AirPrint, the built-in printing interface for iOS and macOS, enables wireless printing from virtually any app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac - but only if the right compatible printers are available. That’s where Workplace Pure steps in. As a cloud-based platform, it fully supports AirPrint technology, making mobile printing seamless across an entire business network. With Workplace Pure, employees can send print jobs from their smartphones without installing drivers or additional apps, ensuring instant access to all available office printers from their mobile devices. No complicated setup, no frustrating delays - just a streamlined, secure, and hassle-free way to print whenever and wherever it's needed.
One tap and everything is done: Here's how it works
Instead of manually searching for and connecting to the right printer, Workplace Pure simplifies everything with AirPrint. You just select Workplace Pure as your printer, and the rest happens automatically. Once you hit print, your job is securely sent to the cloud printing platform, ensuring that documents don’t end up in the wrong place. Thanks to the follow-me function, your printout is delivered exactly where it belongs - to you. Simply authenticate yourself at the nearest multifunction printer using an employee ID card, and your document is printed instantly. For the first use, you’ll just need to enter your printer cloud password on your iPhone. After that, printing is effortless, just a simple tap and you're good to go.
Save your nerves and other resources with cloud printing
Modern companies are increasingly positioning paperless processes to conserve resources and save costs. However, experience shows that printouts are still essential for crucial applications such as contracts and legal documents, marketing materials, reports and presentations, employee/HR forms, event/conference materials, and emergency plans or temporary signage. Efficiency is what matters: paper and equipment should be used as efficiently as possible so as not to waste anything. Printouts that end up on the wrong printer, multiple prints, or misprints due to incompatible devices are counterproductive. Using the combination of cloud printing and AirPrint not only makes printing easier and safer but also more efficient. The possible applications are diverse - from companies with several locations and hybrid teams that can use the infrastructure anywhere, to print shops where a printout can be quickly picked up in passing via AirPrint.
