print & scan for android os

[aleksander]

Hi guys, I need your help. I'm using Tablet PC Samsung Galaxy tab with Android OS 3.2 Honeycomb. And I want to know how to print from my Tablet. Then how to scan from the MFP bizhub 363 and save in my tablet. How to scan to FTP, SMB or WebDAV setup? thank you for any solution.

There is an app on the Market for direct printing to Konica Minotla devices.

I can't remember what it is called, but I will try to find out for you. I don't know about scanning though.

For scanning to tablets and phones I have been using Dropbox. Set up Dropbox account, download app for handheld. Dropbox will provide and email address for you to email docs to your dropbox account.

I haven't tried it, but couldn't you just plug in the USB cord into the machine and scan to a file?
USB is USB, that is why it was called Universal Serial Bus.
My droid cell uses a mini SD card that I can plug into my computer with the adapter.
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.

Ok thanks, theowl. I'm waiting for the app.

It's called pagescope mobile and the KMBS site says go to the Apple App Store and search for pagescope mobile, so what that says about the droid market I don't know. The installation PDF is here: http://kmbs.konicaminolta.us/wps/wcm...e-c4e3afb6ba90

Re: print & scan for android os

Yeah, that was the one I was thinking of, but it is for the iPad and not Android.

Acording to one of our sales guys, PrinterShare or Bluetooth Smart Printing for the Android which isn't KM specific. I haven't tried these myself, so I don't know how good they are.

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
