Canon has extended its UniFlow platform for managing manage print, scanning and copying processes to now also include mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and netbooks.

uniFLOW version 5.1 supports all internet enabled mobile devices and enables jobs to be printed across a full range of devices from desktop 7680 Printers through to Multi-Function Devices (MFDs).

“Recent research found that over half of workers using smartphones can’t print from their device, but want to.  There have been concerns with managing a “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) strategy, particularly around security and integration.  With uniFLOW version 5.1, organisations can now offer their employees flexible ways of working, including mobile printing and printing from their devices on the go,” said Luke Maddison, Canon Australia Group Manager, Business Marketing.

uniFLOW version 5.1 is unique in the market as not only does it bring together the ability to scan, print and copy from one single integrated platform but it now also extends the same security, cost control safe guards and multi-vendor device finishing options to mobile devices.
