Canon Latin America announces new cloud connectivity application PIXMA printing solutions
New Canon PIXMA MG7110 and MG6410 Wireless Inkjet Photo All-In-One Printers Offer Robust Cloud Connectivity for Fast and Easy Access to Online Content
MIAMI, F.L., August 27, 2013 – Canon Latin America Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced two PIXMA Wireless1 Inkjet Photo All-In-One (AIO) printers, the PIXMA MG7110 and MG6410, featuring Canon’s new cloud-based PIXMA Printing Solutions (PPS) application2. With this innovative and user friendly platform, users can access the cloud directly from their compatible printer, mobile device or tablet and easily print images and documents directly from several of the most popular online services such as Facebook®, Twitter®, Flickr®, DropboxTM, Picasa Web AlbumsTM, Evernote®, Photobucket® and Creative Park.
The Canon PPS application offers a unique way to interact with the cloud to unlock important images and documents that otherwise have been trapped on mobile devices and popular online services. Free for iOS and Android mobile phones and tablets, the application allows users to wirelessly print from a mobile device or tablet with wireless capability from almost anywhere. After logging in to the cloud function of the application with a username and password, users can access their images and documents on the above mentioned online services to print using intuitive menus determining paper type, size and other printing features. PPS allows for application independent printing, which enables users to print multiple document formats including word, excel, jpeg and pdf, without having the original software loaded on a device. For added functionality, users can access the PPS platform through the menu selections on the PIXMA MG7110 and MG6410 printer’s interface as well.
When using the cloud service of PPS, users with iOS and Android enabled devices can send and share images and documents like never before to keep friends and family updated on their latest adventures. Now grandparents who live in San Francisco can receive images of their grandchild’s dance recital from New York directly on their home printer so they can feel as if they were there in the crowd. Also, users can easily access and print important documents and presentations to prepare for an important meeting the following day.
“Today’s lifestyle is increasingly mobile-focused and consumers are eager for easy-to-use tools that help make printing from their favorite mobile sites a simple task,” said Taro Maruyama, President of Canon Latin America Inc. “With the introduction of innovative platforms like PIXMA Printing Solutions, Canon looks to provide users with convenient connectivity and access to online content quickly and easily.”
The mobile version of the application also provides convenient access to the user interface of compatible printers, such as the ones announced today, to check ink model number information, online printer user manuals and other important printer information.
PPS not only allows for images and documents stored on mobile devices2 to be easily printed, it also provides access to the scanner interface on your printer to scan directly to a mobile device, as long as they are connected to the same network as the printer. Stored images can be printed directly from mobile devices as well, as long as it’s connected to the same network as the printer. For added convenience, users can upload commonly used documents right into PPS using iTunes.
enthusiasts is the Canon MG7110 Wireless Inkjet Photo AIO Printer. This new model features advanced media handling with a dual front tray, direct disc printing and a hybrid ink system of six individual ink tanks. The printer can also produce beautiful images at a maximum color resolution of 9600 dpi and has a 3.5-inch LCD touchscreen with Canon’s Intelligent Touch System for easy viewing and navigating of menus and images. The PIXMA MG6410 Wireless Inkjet Photo AIO Printer produces stunning high-quality images as well as clean and clear documents for the home or home office in addition to having a 3.0 inch LCD screen with a five-color hybrid ink system.
Getting creative with these printers is fun and easy with Wireless PictBridge, technology that allows digital camcorders and cameras like the Canon PowerShot N to connect and print directly to photo printers without using a computer, and bundled My Image Garden software featuring Full HD Movie Print* to produce clear images of frames from videos captured on compatible HD Canon EOS and PowerShot Digital Cameras and VIXIA Camcorders. In addition, Special Filters such as Fish-Eye, Miniature and Toy Camera can be applied for further image customization. The software also allows users to access the Canon photo sharing and printing site Creative Park to print calendars, greeting cards and other crafting projects.
Both models offer an Auto Power On/Off function so print requests can be quickly fulfilled when the printer is not in use. For added efficiency, these printers feature built-in Automatic Duplex printing that saves users time and resources with the ability to automatically print on both sides of the paper. Each printer also supports Google Cloud Print™3 for printing from Gmail and Google Docs on a mobile device and from the Google Chrome browser for Mac, Windows, Linux, and Chrome computers. Also, Canon Latin America has a call center4 that offers support for those customers who need assistance with Wi-Fi set up or any other inquiries.
