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.

You can easily print photos, emails, and documents from select mobile devices using the Mopria Print Service to a compatible Brother machine over a wireless network. Mopria certification ensures the ability to connect and pass information using the Mopria Print Service between a mobile device and a printer resulting in a quality print.
