Why Mopria is Important in a Wireless World

The number of people connected via mobile devices, and working in a BYOD environment means that the concept of a cubicle is much more than a physical space. More and more paperwork is becoming electronic – in a wireless workplace, printers and scanners are considered an important part of the office experience, but workers may be run into barriers because of complicated app installation or device connection.

One of the solutions is using Mopria Print Service. Brother recognizes the need for mobile printing, and we show our commitment to standardizing mobile printing through our role as an active member of the Mopria® Alliance.
