Samsung introduces the World’s First Android powered Printer

Samsung is bringing Android to more appliances beyond your average smart phone, tablets and camera. They have announced its new Smart MultiXpress range of multi function printers that’s powered by Android. This is a first time a MFP system is running on an Android platform and it offers several smart features without the need of having a PC.

With a 10.1″ display that looks like a full sized tablet mounted on the printer, users can print anything from the web, maps, photos and contents that can be accessed on the machine itself. The on-board Samsung Smart UX is said to be similar with Samsung Galaxy’s touch screen UI. Like a smart phone, the touch screen offers haptic feedback with vibrations for a more tactile experience.

Apart from the standard features including CloudPrinting, the Smart MultiXpress also offers an optional NFC module for seamless mobile printing. It could also be used for user authentication when printing confidential documents. To cope with high-demand usage, the printer is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor.
