Cloud-connected Printer and MFP Apps on the Rise
As cloud services and mobile apps grow in popularity, vendors are increasingly offering apps and cloud connectivity for their printers and multifunction peripherals/MFPs (devices that print, copy, scan, and fax). Accessible via the print device’s touchscreen, these apps enable users to print directly from the cloud, scan directly to the cloud, and in some instances perform other tasks such as connect to a predefined workflow or business process, purchase office materials, and access document templates.
