    Re: print & scan for android os

    Pagescope mobile is available for both apple and android. Check google play, I have it on my nexus and use it to print and scan (WebDAV, and email). Emujo

    noted, but seems like the pagescope don't work for older model. I m having a C352 here, wanted to make use of it with my phone, no luck so far.

    USB is USB, that is why it was called Universal Serial Bus.

    I can plug my phone into my computer and download files to the SD card.
    Smartphone and tablet are running the same OS, so I would think the hardware connections should work if the copier is equipped with scan to flash drive option.
    I would think that if the copier can scan into a flash drive, it should be able to scan to a phone or tablet
    As soon as I get a box in that has the option, I will play with it and report back.
    I would discourage customers from having this option installed on the copier.
    I could walk in, plug in a flash drive and scan any document laying anywhere, then walk away with classified information.
    That probably won't work - it's not as simple as you think, and USB is not just an USB.
    The only way machine can use connected USB device (such as pendrive) is removable storage device mode - copier can't even use more than one partition of pendrive! Moreover, not every pendrive available on the market will work with the copier... and you think USB is USB...

    I dont't understand whole-world fascination with smartphones and tablets. It's just a toy/gadget and you wanna use this as a real tool - it's similar to using kid plastic shovel and a bucket as a replacement of bulldozer, sure you can but don't expect that it will be as efficient as a dozer.
    If you wanna use PC features, use just a PC, that's for sure will be more efficient and simple after over 30 years of PC evolution than using neither-phone-nor-computer...
    That's nice toy, but it needs more than 10 years to grow up... Maybe when we treat all PC's, tablets, smartphones, SmartTV's, and so on as a one device and we feed them with distributed operating system... then maybe, maybe...

    was thinking if there are some alternative way to get it to work.

    well u have a point, but sometimes ppl just wanted to print it on the go with the photo they just capture on the phone, or print attachments from the email they just received, is convenience for a better work flow you see...

    and i don't think smartphone n tables is just a toy. depending on how u work on it, it can be more then just toy

    Oh, you have captured a photo... received an email... even with attachment... you can also send attachments, upload photos to the cloud, download music or videos, browse web... Your device was designed to do such things, but wasn't designed to print - that's a feature needed by 1 user per 100.000, so why implement useless option? You have bought a car and expect you will fly... Sure it can be done, spend a lot of time and money adding wings, chopper etc. it will even fly, but will be as good as a plane? Nope...

    Convenience or a better workflow... Sure, I can imagine door-to-door salesman with a tablet and a company with extranet solution where salesman can show an offer to the customer, create an invoice as pdf and send it to customer's e-mail or just throw it to the printer spooler on server, and send as ordinary mail from HQ. That's perfect way to use a tablet - a complete solution designed for this, that can even print. That's the way it should be done, not the other way - "I got a tablet, what can I do with this sh*t...".

    Well, if you really want something like this, check e-Series machines and it's features - they can be easily integrated with Google cloud, and extended with LK-110 to scan, OCR and convert your documents to editable OOXML formats (*.docx *.xlsx *.ppsx). Doing the same things with older machines for cheap is almost impossible.

    Jeeze, somebody has got issues with smart phones/tablets. They are in some respects toys, but if your MFP cant connect to one then I'm sure they will buy one from a vendor that does if it's important to the person signing the PO. Emujo

    The use of smart phones and tablets is becoming increasing popular with office printing and scanning.

    I couldnt tell you how many Direct Print Scan Mobile meap apps I've had to install on canon IR advanced machines here lately. In addition were starting to sell Uniflow for SMB to print from mobile with follow me printing workflows.

    I guess in short, someone just telling us not to use the old tech for new purpose. Just ditch the old hag out when they are old and useless eh?

    I guess I m out of luck getting it work perfectly

    Re: print & scan for android os

    Some excellent points have been made here, Great Thread! As techs we have all been confronted at least once with the customer who has held onto a piece of equipment for way too many years and is now complaining it won't interface with his latest PC just purchased or in this case tablet/smart phone. Technology changes some products can adapt others may not depending on their age and the technology. This can and does happen with all manufactures. Keep in mind 5 years ago an Android was a Robot not an Operating System. As far as tablets/smart phones being toys? That is what a lot of people thought of the home computer when people started buying the Commodore64 for home use, now PC's are probably as common in every home as a TV is.
    Online Store is closed. Chip resetting is a thing of the past! Thank you to all my past customers.
