Service and support are also simple, with a warranty provided at no additional cost for the life of the subscription. Lexmark OnePrint is available in France, Germany and the UK, and will soon be available in the US and Canada. www.lexmark.com Focus On: What’s New directprint.io adds new feature to its SaaS offering directprint.io has announced the release of Device Radar, an innovative new tool that turbo-charges the printing device on-boarding process. Device Radar utilises multicast DNS (mDNS) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) protocols to search for and identify all printers on a customer’s network. Network-connected devices are automatically onboarded to the directprint.io platform and the Device Radar tool leverages artificial intelligence to set individual devices’ best-known configuration and enable advanced finishing features such as staple, fold etc., where available. This latest upgrade delivers on the ISV’s commitment to provide an intuitive, seamless and straightforward customer experience (CX) for organisations looking to migrate print infrastructure to the cloud. The platform is featurerich, compatible with all leading printer manufacturers and supports over 5,000 printer models. With Device Radar, customers can onboard and deploy an unlimited number of printing devices and make them accessible to end-users, in just a few clicks. “Our focus is firmly on prioritising usability, performance and security to empower more organisations to create a secure, cloud managed print infrastructure,” said CEO David Jenkins. “The release of Device Radar demonstrates our commitment to continual innovation and is the first in a series of planned new platform enhancements.” www.directprint.io Star Micronics launches mPOPCI Star Micronics mPOPCI is a combined printer and cash drawer solution with data and charging for iOS devices as well as support for Android and Windows devices.
