New Epson Connect features make it easier for home and business users to print on the go.
Epson has updated its mobile print and scan service, Epson Connect, adding more features to allow users to print documents, photos, emails and web pages from “anywhere in the world” using an Epson Connect-enabled printer and an iPad, iPhone, tablet, smartphone or computer.
Among the new features is the Epson Creative Print App, which helps users to share customised photos and personal messages as well as access and print photos directly from Facebook. It can also be used to create greeting cards and stationery, print onto CD/DVDs and turn photos into personalised colouring book templates.
Further enhancements include the Epson Print & Scan feature, which adds scan functionality to tablet devices with Windows 8 and Windows RT; Epson iPrint App, enabling users to print from Box, Dropbox, Evernote, Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive; Epson Email Print, allowing users to send documents from any email-enabled device to multiple Epson printers with unique email addresses; and Epson Remote Print, which streamlines productivity by enabling users to print remotely from a computer or laptop without worrying about formatting or adjusting fonts.
Epson Connect also offers an optional level of security to reduce unwanted prints and eliminate spam, enabling an “Approved Senders List” so users can specify the email addresses that are allowed to print unattended to the printer’s email address.
Ian Cameron, responsible for Global Communications at Epson, commented: “Whether you’re sharing holiday pictures or business presentations, the enhancements to Epson Connect offer you something new when you’re on the go. Our goal is to make accessing, sharing and printing files as easy and as powerful as possible regardless of which device you are using or where you happen to be.”
