Epson Introduces Smart Panel, Application for Print and Scan from Smartphone

Epson has just launched five of its newest EcoTank L-series printer models in Indonesia. At the same time, Epson also introduced an application called the Epson Smart Panel that allows users to print documents as well as scan via mobile phones. Senior Manager of Consumer & Retail Development Department of PT Epson Indonesia, Syahrizal Apriyanto said that the Smart Panel is a control center for wirelessly controlling printers from mobile phones. “You can use it to print, scan, copy, and monitor printers easily via your cellphone,” said Syahrizal at an online event held by Epson.

The Smart Panel application on Epson phones and printers can be connected to each other via a local WI-Fi network via a router. Therefore, this application can only be used with Epson printers that have Wi-Fi features only. Head of Marketing Division of PT Epson Indonesia Riswin Li detailed that printer models that support WiFi technology and can be controlled via the Epson Smart Panel application include the four newly launched EcoTank L-series printers. The four printers are EcoTank L-series models L3250, L5290, L6290, and L6490. In addition, Riswin also mentioned that the Epson EcoTank L-series printer models L3520 and L-4660 are also equipped with Wi-Fi technology.

For more details, a list of Epson printers that already support the Epson Smart Panel application can be viewed via the following link. The features in the KompasTekno Monitoring Epson Smart Panel application, the Epson Smart Panel can already be downloaded via the Google Play Store application store at this link, and the Apple App Store application store.

Once downloaded, users need to connect the phone with the Epson printer via the same Wi-Fi network. Once connected, the user can do several things as mentioned below.

• First, users can print documents, photos, posters, and other content directly from their mobile phones, without the hassle of connecting cables from the printer to the computer.

• Second, users can scan documents directly from the application. In a demo video of using the Epson Smart Panel application, users only need to select the “Scan PDF/A4/Color” feature in the application to scan documents. After that, users can take pictures of the documents they want to scan, just like taking photos.

• Third, users can also copy documents directly from their mobile phones, by accessing the “Copy Color/Letter/Plain” feature. In this copy feature, users can set how many copies they want.

• Fourth, because it acts as a wireless control center, users do not need to be right next to the printer when they want to print, scan, or copy documents. In the demo video, users can still print even if they are standing a few meters further from the printer.

• Fifth, users can use the Epson Smart Panel application to monitor the remaining ink to resolve errors.
