[June 02, 2010] Dell Launches Line of Mobile Printer Solutions Tweet Jun 02, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Dell announced it has launched four new printer solutions to meet the needs of mobile customers in business, law, healthcare and education. According to Dell, the solutions are designed to deliver one-touch reliability and proximity printing technology without sacrificing performance, enabling IT administrators to focus on critical business needs instead of printer administration. "These printer solutions, together with the successful introduction of eight black and white printers earlier this year, reflect Dell's commitment in building a printer portfolio based on customer-relevant technologies," said Tim Peters, VP of Imaging at Dell. "This launch is a prime example of how Dell listens to customers and develops technology that increases print management efficiencies without breaking IT budgets." The Company said the Dell Proximity Printing Solution, available as a free download starting June 8, is designed to meet this challenge by making it easier for users to connect to a printer closest to them. Through an office map layout, the mobile user clicks on the network printer of choice to route the print job, eliminating the need for knowing printer queue names or installing printer drivers. From law to education to healthcare, Dell said its workflow solutions introduce custom functions that turn multifunction printers into machines capable of complicated workflow processes. With no special training required, the solutions introduced include: The Dell Legal Station is for law offices that require technology that can produce large volumes of documents designed to boost productivity and streamline print management. Functions of the Dell Legal Station include: -The ability to print forms on demand, -"Scan to court" which sets file limits for scanned jobs destined for court delivery, -"Scan to network" to send documents to custom network locations, and -A touch screen that can be customized with a law firm's logo. The Dell Classroom Station, part of Dell Connected Classroom, is a printer solution for testing, grading papers and managing classroom documents and bundles a set of education-specific applications for print-on-demand test bubble sheet templates, instant grading results (a server with Windows and additional software installation is required) and reporting. These capabilities are designed to allow teachers to react to an individual student's challenge areas, as well as adjust overall lesson plans to impact full class achievement. The Dell Healthcare Station is a printer solution to help increase staff productivity, reduce errors and improve patient care. Functions include "Scan to EMR" (Electronic Medical Records), physician order routing which allows nursing staff and clinicians to route physician orders from nursing stations to the pharmacy, forms on demand enabling clinical staff to access critical forms, and card copy for scanning each side of a patient's insurance or identification card and printing them on a single sheet of paper.
