\"\"One of the biggest trends of the past three years is the rise of the tablet as a replacement to the personal computer, largely due to the Apple iPad. The tablet has proven itself more than a fad and to actually be an incredibly useful business tool. To extend its usefulness, Apple and app developers have integrated the ability to print documents directly from your iPad.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can print from your iPad.<\/p>\n

AirPrint <\/strong>
\nAirPrint was introduced by Apple with the iOS 4.2 update. It allows apps on the iPad to wirelessly connect to a compatible printer. There are a large number of apps that support AirPrint, although there\u2019s no official list. To find out if an app can print using AirPrint look at the app\u2019s description in iTunes. There will be a note saying something along the lines of, \u201cWireless Printing supported\u201d or \u201cAirPrint supported.\u201d<\/p>\n

The only downside to AirPrint is that it will only work with a select few printers. A list of these can be found on the Apple\u00a0website<\/a>. For AirPrint to work, both your iPad and printer need to be connected to the same wireless network. If you meet the requirements, printing is quick and easy. Simply press the\u00a0Action <\/em>button (white square with an arrow) and select Print. The first time you do this, you\u2019ll need to select the printer from the pop-up menu.<\/p>\n

AirPrint enabler for Mac<\/strong>
\nIf you have a wireless printer that isn\u2019t compatible with AirPrint, don\u2019t rush out and buy a new one as there are apps like\u00a0Printopia<\/a> that can allow you to wirelessly print. To do so, you need to download an app onto your Mac which then allows it to share its connected printers with your iPad. When the app is installed, you should be able to find your wireless printer. The only downside to this app is it only works on Mac computers with OS X version 10.6 and later.<\/p>\n

Print using a PC<\/strong>
\nDon\u2019t have a Mac? Don\u2019t worry, you can still print using apps like\u00a0PrintCentral.<\/a> With this app you\u2019ll be able to print directly to the vast majority of wireless printers, as long as they\u2019re connected to the same network that your iPad is.<\/p>\n

You can also print using a printer that\u2019s connected to a computer. To do this, you\u2019ll need to download and install the\u00a0WePrint<\/a> software onto your PC. Once this is done the software acts as a relay between the printer and your iPad, enabling you to print even if you\u2019re not connected to the same network.<\/p>\n

Being able to wirelessly print from your iPad helps make you and your business more efficient. If you\u2019re working on the iPad during the commute, you can send it to the office printer and have it printed and ready for review for when you get to the office. This also makes you more efficient as you don\u2019t need to log in to your computer, connect the iPad and transfer the information every time you want to print. You can just print it directly; saving you time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to integrate the iPad into your business and would like to know more about how to do it, please contact us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
