• Extends the functionality of your desktop – Internal LAN/WAN printing,
– External Public venue,
– Home printing
• No document storage! Point-to-point 3DES encryption• Real-time Discovery mechanism (printer search on-demand)
– Based on location (city, state, company, user-friendly printer name, etc.)
Printing
• No additional hardware• Presentation quality output, including color• Simple and easy to understand
– User-friendly printer names (No IP addresses or share names to deal with)

Printing
Corporate Printing "Email is increasing printing volumes by 40%".
EXPLOR
• Corporate users can now print while away from their desks• External partner, contractor, customer can now use designated printers within your
corporation – securely– Can take the place of a fax machine– Allows partners to quickly and easily print information regarding the meeting
(ie: Updated Inventory for required shipment , Purchase Order for signing, etc.)
• Small Office / Home Office (SOHO)• Corporate users
– Many corporate customers have home printers (most home printers are not part of their corporate LAN, therefore PrinterOn is the only mechanism for printing to them wirelessly)
– Executives use this option extensively (including having their assistants print to them from the office to their home)
