More Efficient, Here's How To Use A Printer Via Mobile

JAKARTA Connecting printers to computers using USB cables is a very efficient way. However, there is a much more efficient way, namely connecting printers to mobile devices.

This can be done by utilizing home Wi-Fi. In this simple way, you can print documents from various compatible devices. Fortunately, most printers in the last ten years have supported Wi-Fi connections.

To determine whether your printer supports this feature, manually check your device or search the settings menu. Launching from Makeuseof, you need to search for menus that have names such as LAN, Wireless Settings, or Networks.

After finding the right menu, you only need to select your home Wi-Fi network. Next, enter the network password, just like when you connect other new devices. Now, your printer is ready to accept commands.

The next step depends on the operating system of the phone you are using. For iPhone users, printing will be easier if your printer supports the AirPrint feature. With this feature, you can print without the need to install any drivers.

Apple provides a list of printers that support the AirPrint function. With this function, printing from the iPhone will work automatically or 'go to work'. Users are advised to check if their printer model is in the list.

Meanwhile, for Android users, printing from mobile phones usually doesn't require additional special steps. As long as the printer is connected to Wi-Fi, printing from Android devices should be done directly without a hitch.
