This week Samsung will release it’s two newest laser printers in the U.S. market, the NFC-enabled Xpress C4x0 series. NFC or Near Field Communication is a technology that uses radio waves to establish communication between two devices by touching each other or bringing them into close together, usually a couple of inches. This can be used to transfer information, complete transactions or set up WiFi connections. These printers will give users the capability to print from their mobile devices with just a tap to the printer.
Printer settings and preferences can be controlled through the Samsung Mobile Print App. This App allows printing of mostly everything from PDF files to Microsoft Office documents from your smartphone. The app is available for Android, IOS and Windows devices. However, If you don’t have a NFC-enabled device or have not installed the Samsung Mobile Print App these printers can still be used through Google Cloud Print support. This can allow you to print over the web when connected anywhere with any smart device, including tablets and laptops. The multifunction model can also make scanning and faxing documents easy by syncing contacts from your smartphone.
The C410W, starting at $229, is a basic color printer while the multifunction printer C460FW with scanning and faxing capabilities is priced at $399. Both are designed for home or small office use, while Samsung plans to release a MFP model aimed at businesses early next year.
