Don't Ignore The Value Of Mobile Printers

By Tim Wills, vice president, marketing, PEAK Technologies

Today's economy is challenging companies to improve productivity and customer satisfaction while simultaneously reducing expensive overhead. For companies with a substantial field workforce, mobile printing technology is a proven solution that can be integrated into an existing warehouse enterprise management system, producing significant benefits.

Mobile printers utilize wireless technology — Bluetooth, infrared connectivity, wireless local area networks, or enterprise wireless networks — to instantly print invoices, tickets, and labels with the same quality found in standalone printers. Many mobile printers also include a magnetic strip to process credit card payments. Since they are easy to carry, operate, and maintain, mobile printers are an ideal tool for the field.
