Samsung brings Android to printers, believes it will improve efficiency.


April was a busy month for Samsung Malaysia as it launched not just consumer products – the S6 and S6 Edge – but also the MX4 Series Multifunction Printer. These printers are the first of its kind to feature built-in Android OS for seamless integration for work and print jobs.

“Samsung is a user-centric innovator. The MX4 Series will introduce Malaysian enterprises to an Android platform which will allow our business customers to experience greater multidimensional and advanced printing technologies,” comments Lee Sang Hoon, President of Samsung Malaysia Electronics Sdn. Bhd.

The new MFPs are given a 10.1in touchscreen that allows users to do a variety of things you normally do on your PC: web browsing, emails, maps, images and more, before printing the content you desire. Having the screen also means you can preview your documents and even do editing before printing it.

By the Smart UX Center, the same touch-based UX feature of Samsung’s GALAXY smart devices, Samsung also gave the new MFPs the ability to deliver haptic feedback. This gives a sense of touch for a better user experience.

Additionally, the Android-based OS is good for two things, one is that it offers greater scalability and the other is a sense of familiarity. The MX4 Series printers come with Samsung Cloud Print, allowing you to print even when not in front of the printer. Then to further build on that connectivity is NFC Pro, an accessory that allows you to access the printer via NFC. With this feature, you can do things like cloning security settings on several of these new MFPs just by tapping on the accessory.

Last but not least, the new printers promise greater performance with the dual core 1GHz CPU, allowing multiple users to send in print jobs simultaneously. The MFPs also come with longer lasting toner and drum technologies, which means more reliability and lower costs over the long run.

Available in four different categories, the prices for the new printers start from RM6,499 however we have also listed the full range here for your perusal.
