A Secure, Embedded Solution
The SP C431DN-HS provides access to brilliant
full-color network printing without giving
unmonitored access to your network.
• Web-based PrinterOn Mobile Printing Service operates totally
independently from your company network. All mobile print jobs are
processed outside your company firewall.
• Install a completely embedded solution. All hardware and software are
pre-loaded inside the printer. That means no external appliances, keypads
or servers at the installation site.
• Mitigate the risk that sensitive documents will be seen in the printer tray
by an unauthorized party. Files can only be printed after the job owner
enters a private release code for each job at the machine.
Easily Fits Into Any Environment
or Workflow
Public or private network, paid service or free
amenity, the SP C431DN-HS fits anywhere
convenient mobile printing is required.
• Install HotSpot printing as a free public service to attract new customers or
boost loyalty among hotel and convention center guests.
• Set up the SP C431DN-HS as a chargeable service to recover printing costs
or generate new revenues. The HotSpot mobile printing solution integrates
seamlessly with PayPal™, the global leader in online payment solutions.
• Use HotSpot as a productivity-enhancing tool for executives on the go,
who can be sure their job will not be printed until they enter their unique
private release code at the machine.
• Change the design of the customizable PrintSpots™ Web page to reflect
your business identity. Add services, print job options, job confirmation/
approval steps, additional printers, links to other Websites and more
to present HotSpot printing as a value-added service exclusive to your
establishment.
