Konica Minolta expands mobile print solutions with Lantronix xPrintServer

Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. has partnered with Lantronix to add the xPrintServer Cloud Print Edition to Konica Minolta’s EnvisionIT portfolio. The new solution enables mobile workers to print wirelessly  from Android and Google Cloud print-ready devices to any Konica Minolta bizhub MFP for increased productivity.
“With businesses embracing Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, it’s imperative that users have access to mobile printing directly from the devices they use the most,” said Kevin Kern, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Konica Minolta Business Solutions U.S.A. (pictured previously). “Our customers can count on Konica Minolta to provide them with a range of mobile solutions, such as the xPrintServer, designed to support the needs of today’s mobile users without sacrificing data security, ensuring that confidential information is protected.”
The Lantronix xPrintServer Cloud Print Edition is a ‘plug-and-print’ solution that enables users to print without installing special software or applications directly to a networked bizhub MFP (Multi-Function Printer) or printer from Chromebooks and Android smartphones, tablets and Kindle Fire devices. The solution features automatic discovery and printer setup and includes Konica Minolta print drivers for sophisticated function support – including user authentication and secure print capabilities.

The new xPrintServer mobile offering allows customers to view, scan and print documents securely from their mobile devices. Konica Minolta offers a range of mobile solutions, including PageScope Mobile to help users efficiently access and manage documents across mobile devices, and support for AirPrint, Google Cloud Print and The Mopria Alliance.
“Konica Minolta is a global leader in delivering state-of-the-art hardware and software solutions to help customers capture, access, manage and print documents across a range of devices, from office MFPs to mobile devices,” said Kurt Busch, President and CEO of Lantronix. “Lantronix is thrilled to partner with the world’s number one customer loyalty brand to deliver our award-winning xPrintServer family of easy-to-use, secure mobile device printing solutions to Konica Minolta bizhub customers worldwide.”
