3 Print and scan directly from mobile devices. Introduction Smartphones and tablet computers are essential in business today, and the increasingly mobile workforce needs the ability to print and scan from these devices. Virtually every executive and individual contributor uses one or more mobile devices to access and websites. A QuickPoll Survey and Study conducted by International Data Corporation (IDC) in June 2011 (Document #228811) found that over 80 percent of respondents indicated some level of mobility in their jobs. The trend toward using mobile tools for business tasks, including printing and scanning, is expected to rise. Based on the 2011 IDC survey and study (Document #228811), mobile printing consists of two basic models: peer-to-peer printing and cloud printing. In the peer-to-peer model, a mobile device or computer communicates directly with a printer or multifunction printer (MFP). In the cloud model, documents are processed by a cloud-enabled application, which can be public or private. Printing is not a simple task on most smartphones or tablets. A printing tool on a mobile device is usually limited in what it offers, or it requires an external server or PC to complete the printing task. Samsung MobilePrint gives business professionals the ability to print and scan directly to and from any Samsung printer on a local area network with a secure Wi-Fi access point using Android, Microsoft Windows Mobile, or Apple ios smartphones or tablets, without the need for an external server or PC. Mobile solution for printing, scanning and file sharing Samsung MobilePrint is a convenient printing and scanning application for the modern work environment. The application allows business professionals to scan from and print to a network-connected Samsung printer or wireless printer through a Wi-Fi access point. This white paper describes how Samsung MobilePrint is used to conveniently print and scan from mobile devices. Connect all devices Users can still automatically detect and connect to devices on the same network as the mobile device, but now locally connected (USB-connected) devices can also be connected to make printing quick and easy. Samsung MobilePrint works by connecting a mobile device to a network-connected Samsung printer or wireless printer through a Wi-Fi access point that the application automatically detects. Devices that are not automatically detected can be added using other methods: IP address. With an IP address, users can add devices that are on another subnet. Server Message Block (SMB). With SMB, users can add devices that are shared in a Windows environment. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP). With IPP, users can add devices that are shared in a Linux or ios environment. Print a variety of documents Instead of having to carry a stack of paper or keep track of a USB device to access important documents, users can print directly from their mobile device. Android For Android devices, a list of all available files that can be printed displays in the Documents menu on the Launch screen. Any compatible file stored on the device s secured digital (SD) card can be printed. Samsung MobilePrint for Android supports printing for Adobe Portable Document Format (.pdf), Microsoft Office (.ppt,.doc,.xls), text files (.txt) and Hangul Editor (.hwp) files. Most attachments can also be opened and printed with MobilePrint if the client supports this option. Any third-party application that supports sharing can also share documents with MobilePrint and print them through sharing. Samsung MobilePrint is compatible with Android, ios and Windows Phone smartphones. Samsung MobilePrint supports devices such as the ipod Touch and Android and ios-based tablets. Users install the Samsung MobilePrint application and it automatically detects compatible Samsung printers. 3

In addition to offering a wide array of printable documents, such as web pages, Google Docs, PDF files, images, s and Microsoft Office documents, the Samsung MobilePrint application enables business professionals to scan directly from a Samsung MFP to mobile devices, making it fast and easy to get contracts, purchase requisitions, estimates and other documents into the system for processing. 7
