Epson to support Amazon's new Kindle tablets
MANILA -- Owners of Amazon’s latest e-readers can now enjoy mobile printing after Epson announced its support for Kindle Fire Printing, an integrated wireless print solution for the new family of gadgets that run Amazon Fire OS 3.1.
In a statement released on Monday, Epson said its Connect-enabled printers will make it easier than ever for users of the all-new Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets to wirelessly print documents, photos, appointments and emails.
"Amazon just gave mobile productivity a huge boost, enabling Kindle Fire users to go beyond leisure and entertainment and use their tablets to stay connected and get the job done," Ian Cameron, general manager of sales and marketing support at Epson, said in the statement.
"Collaboration and innovation are an important part of Epson's strategy to drive home and business productivity via powerful mobile printing solutions across a range of devices and platforms. Today's on-the-go users require multifunctional, easy-to-use options, and support of the new family of Kindle Fire tablets provides yet another convenient and powerful way to access, share and print from anywhere," he said.
The newest Kindle Fire tablets are the first-ever Amazon devices to offer built-in wireless printing.
Customers can read and print documents, photos, emails, and calendar events directly from the all-new Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX to any compatible Epson models.
Moreover, with the free, built-in viewer application, users can also preview Microsoft Office files and print instantly, saving valuable time and money.
The new Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX require the free Fire OS 3.1 software update, available at Amazon.com/kindlesoftwareupdates. Once the update is installed, printing to a home or office wireless printer from the Kindle Fire tablets can be set up in a matter of seconds to a wide range of Epson Connect-enabled printers.
