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.

If a device can send an email with a PDF, Microsoft Office Word, Excel or PowerPoint attachments, then it can be covered in your print management strategy using PaperCut’s Email to Print feature, regardless of platform, make or model simply by sending the print to an assigned email address.
Email to Print can also be used in conjunction with other PaperCut features such as Find Me Printing and Secure Print Release for cost-effective performance from your network’s print infrastructure.
