Bulletin
Samsung has launched two
collections of serverless
printing solutions for XOA-
enabled A4 and A3 MFPs.
The Business Core Document
Management Pack includes
the SmarThru Workflow Lite
document capture, scanning
and routing solution; Cloud
Connector for scanning to and
printing from the cloud; and
Secure Login Manager for user
authentication at a device.
The Business Core Output
Management Pack includes the
SecuThru Lite 2 pull printing
solution and Usage Tracker,
which tracks and reports on
individuals’ print, copy, scan
and fax usage. All the solutions
are designed to work together.
European SMEs are failing
a new generation of cloud
workers by not providing the
collaboration tools they need
to do their jobs effectively.
The warning from Sharp
follows a recent study showing
that employees are moving
towards a more flexible,
collaborative working model,
with almost six out of 10 (59%)
working away from the office for
some of the working week.
More than half (53%)
think they should be able to
access work documents from
any device and any location,
including smartphones (48%),
but most are unable to do so.
Eight out of 10 (83%) have
no official cloud solution at work
and 41% said collaborative
tools are banned in their
workplace. As a result, 67% still
depend on paper print-outs to
share information.
To remedy this situation,
Sharp has launched a cloud-
based document sharing and
collaboration service that
provides employees with an
easy way share information
without compromising data
security. Cloud Portal Office
can be accessed from a range
of fixed and portable devices,
from tablets and smartphones
to Sharp MFPs and interactive
whiteboards.

Document hub for
quick retrieval from
the cloud
Dell is responding to the
growing use of cloud storage
by small and medium-sized
businesses by introducing a
document search engine for
the cloud that enables users
to share, create and retrieve
documents across multiple
cloud platforms with a single
sign-on.
The Dell Document Hub
can be accessed via an app
on any Windows 8 device
(Windows 8/8.1/RT) and from
the company’s flagship colour
multifunction printer, the Dell
C2665dn.
With Dell Document Hub fully
embedded, the Dell C2665dn
offers PC-free retrieval and
printing of data stored in Box,
Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft
SkyDrive and Microsoft
SharePoint Online and other
cloud services. The 4.3in colour
touchscreen display shows
aggregated search results, with
previews of up to 10 files.
Using cloud-based optical
character recognition (OCR)
software, users can also scan
hard copies into editable text
at the device itself, once again
avoiding the need for a PC. This
feature is free-of-charge until
31 March 2014.
Another selling point for users
of new generation mobile devices
is useful NFC-enabled ‘tap &
print’ functionality, in addition
to support for the Dell Mobile
Print app (Android), AirPrint and
Google Cloud Print Direct.
Other new Dell devices
include a colour printer (the
C2660dn); two mono MFPs (the
B2375dnf and B2375dfw); an
A3 colour MFP (the C7765dn);
and a large workgroup colour
laser MFP (C5765dn).

No binning without shredding
EDM Workspace is warning businesses
about the security risks associated with
printed documents, as new research
shows that four out of 10 employees
admit to binning confidential documents
without first shredding them. Seven per
cent admit to doing this ‘all the time’;
15% admit to doing it ‘quite often’;
and 19% ‘sometimes’. Over half of
senior executives (57%) believe that
the number and size of fines for poor
management of information levied on
companies in their sector will increase
over the next five years.
Océ Plotwave
eases collaboration
Like HP, Canon is making it
easier for the architect and
design community to share
technical documents with
dispersed project teams via
online portals and cloud-
based storage.
Its new low volume wide
format printers, the multi-
function Océ PlotWave 340 and
360, enable users to print from
and scan to the cloud, PC and
other network locations. For
maximum flexibility, users can
also print from a USB stick and
a mobile device using the Océ
Publisher Mobile App.
The Océ PlotWave 340 and
Océ PlotWave 360 can print up
to six plots in one minute, with
virtually no warm-up time. With
Océ Radiant Fusing technology, it
takes less than 40 seconds to go
from cold click to print-in-hand,
compared to four minutes on a
conventional printer.
The devices also feature a
tablet-like multi-touch user panel,
which enables operators to
open a document, zoom in and
out and pan to specific areas to
check critical details. ‘What you
see is what you print’ previews
help avoid costly errors when
scanning or copying.
