Can I connect the printer to the phone

A computer and laptop are not always at hand at the right time. But in our time, smartphones can fully replace them. With their help, you can read and create text documents, and then immediately send them to print. In addition, from your smartphone you can print pictures, pictures, tables, and much more.

Can I connect the printer to the phone?

There are several ways to connect from a smartphone to a printing device:

1. Through direct connection: wireless network, cable or bluetooth.
   1. To connect via Wi-Fi, the printer must support this connection.
   2. We observe an identical situation in the case of Bluetooth.
   3. To do this, you will need a special cord and Host port.
2. Using a PC or laptop, as an intermediary giving commands to the printing device.

Whatever method you choose, in any case, you will need to install special software on your smartphone. Otherwise, the printer simply cannot recognize the command to print.

Which printers and phones are synchronized

Not all printer models are capable of connecting to phones. For this, the device must have:

• An adapter that allows you to connect to a wireless network.
• Built-in bluetooth.
• Port for connecting a smartphone cable.

Applications that facilitate the work with documents and synchronization:

• Epson Connect A functional program that allows you to not only print from your phone, but also to save documents, send them by e-mail.
• Canon Easy - PhotoPrint. From the name you can guess that it is intended for printing photos, and is not at all multifunctional.
• Printbot. Using this application, you can connect to a printer located on the same LAN with a smartphone.
• Dell Mobile Print. For those who have the ability to connect to the home network.
• Brother iPrint Scan. A great application in which, among other things, you can scan documents.
