Ringdale® Announces the Integration of FollowMe® Mobile Printing With Apple AirPrint
BURGESS HILL, England, September 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The mobile workforce is increasing, making it critical for employees to have the
ability to print regardless of their location. Ringdale, a leading provider of secure
document output management solutions, announced today that FollowMe Mobile Printing now
integrates natively with Apple's AirPrint software feature. The integrated mobile printing
technology in FollowMe enables organizations to increase the productivity of their mobile
workforce by providing the most flexible printing platform.
FollowMe's support for Apple AirPrint provides a seamless user experience by ensuring
printing is seamless when using Apple iOS devices. With Apple AirPrint, the user simply
taps the action button, selects print on their iPad or iPhone and then the device
automatically sends the document via Wi-Fi to the FollowMe Q-Server, ready for release at
any FollowMe enabled printer, without requiring any additional software.
Ringdale continues to lead in innovation as part of their strategy to maximize the
efficiency of document workflow by removing the geographical and technology barriers when
printing. "The integration of FollowMe and Apple AirPrint makes it quick and easy for
users of Apple iOS devices to print within the business environment," said Jan Bollmann,
Vice President of Engineering, Ringdale. "Organizations can utilize the benefits of this
hugely popular consumer device, without any interruption to their existing IT
infrastructure."
This integration is a development of FollowMe's Mobile Printing technology, which
enables users to print whilst on the move, as documents can be submitted for print via
e-mail, web-client and from any mobile phone or tablet device. Users working from home or
on the road no longer need to plan their time around when or where they can print.
Ringdale invented FollowMe and the print roaming technology in 1997, and has continued
to be at the forefront of the industry for over three decades. With offices in the United
States, United Kingdom, Singapore and Japan, Ringdale have a strong global partner network
and relationships with the world's leading printing manufacturers including Canon, Hewlett
Packard, Lexmark, Konica Minolta, Kyocera Mita, Oce, OKI, Ricoh, Sharp, Toshiba and Xerox.
