    What is AirPrint?

    Apple AirPrint allows full colour, top-quality printing from iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads directly from within many Apps available from the Apple App Store.

    To take advantage of AirPrint, your compatible printer must be connected to the same wireless network as your iOS device or Mac computer.

    AirPrint enables users to print wirelessly from within applications on Apple devices to AirPrint Compatible Printers connected to a wireless network. You can use your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to easily print via Airprint without the need to install drivers or configure the printer queue. Just tap 'print' and select your AirPrint compatible printer, and print!....It's that simple.

    What You See is What You Print

    If you can open it on your apple device, chances are you can print it with AirPrint and an AirPrint compatible printer. Airprint works with Safari, Mail, Photos, iWork, PDF's in iBooks and many third-party AirPrint compatible apps available from the app store.

    Full list of AirPrint compatible printers

    Third-Party Apps

    There are also a wide variety of third-party apps available to enable wireless printing through Apple devices, even to machines that are not natively AirPrint compatible printers. By sharing a printer installed on an Apple Mac or Windows Pc over a wireless network any printer may be able to take advantage of the AirPrint features. (An additional third-party app may be required to be installed on the local machine)

    *For full AirPrint support, a printer firmware upgrade may be required which is available directly from the relevant manufacturer website.

    Please note. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure that the above information is correct at the time of publication, Printerland will not be held responsible for the content of any third-party software suggested on this site and usage of any such software is at the users own risk. Printerland is unable to provide support for Airprint compatible printer software and any such advice should be readily available from the relevant manufacturer or developer

    Mopria Certified

    What is Mopria?

    Mopria is a simple solution created to enable seamless printing from Android devices to any Mopria-certified printer. It gives users the ability to connect to any compatible printer nearby and eliminates the need for additional drivers or software.

    Download the Mopria Print Service App

    Most Android devices now come with Mopria Print Service preinstalled, but if it doesn’t you can download the Mopria Print Service App from Google Play or from the Mopria website. The app allows users to customise print settings from changing the colour or orientation of a document to selecting double-sided printing or choosing the right paper size and media type. If an app on your mobile device has a print option, you can use Mopria to print documents, PDF’s, emails, web pages, photos or other content you may need.

    How does it work?

    1. Find the print option on your application.

    2. Select a nearby printer.

    3. Tap print.

Xerox AltaLink C8170 in More Detail

Changes in the business world can happen fast, but with the Xerox AltaLink C8170, you'll be able to keep up whatever the task.

Intuitive technology

With a familiar tablet-like interface, everyone will be able to use the AltaLink C8170 to print, copy, scan and fax with ease. It uses ConnectKey technology to simplify the user process: mobile printing capability means workers can print on the go, a smart proximity sensor conserves energy when users aren't present, and with NFC, users can tap their mobile on the user panel to quickly connect to the printer. Built-in security measures neutralise threats to the network, protecting your data.

In the Xerox App Gallery, you can quickly access the latest apps to take your business to new heights, such as with the Note Converter or Translate & Print apps.

Fast, precise printing

The C8170 is a phenomenally fast printer, taking as little as 3.8 seconds to print a first page in colour, and as fast as 3 seconds to print a first page in black and white. There are 2 input paper trays, each taking 520 sheets, plus a bypass tray which takes an additional 100 sheets. If you're a high-volume printer, you will benefit from the addition of the high capacity tandem tray which can take up to 2,000 sheets.

With a print resolution of up to 1,200 x 2,400 dpi and an HD Super Fine EA Toner, images and text are rendered with breathtaking clarity, giving your documents added impact.

Why buy genuine?

The AltaLink C8170 is perfect for a busy, modern office, and with a range of accessories available, your printer can grow with you as your business evolves. It is essential to buy only genuine Xerox products if you want to maintain the quality and reliability you depend on.
