and archive all on mobile devices
- extended and enhanced workflow directly on bringyour-own devices enabled by mobile-to-print integration
- efficient and seamless mobile workflow enabled by Bluetooth
low-energy (BLE) or near-field communication (NFC).
Convergence between cloud computing and the printer
- seamless operability between different network service areas

- interoperability between diverse compute platform environments and connectivity models.

MFP AS A STAND-ALONE DEVICE
Historically, printers were viewed as devices tethered to a PC,
with the function of providing printed output from office applications. Today, this role is much larger, producing not only office
output but marketing materials, short-run production, high-quality images, and multifunction devices enabling image capture
and full integration into e-mail, enterprise resource planning systems, and advanced business workflows.
Several years ago, printers were created with low-performance hardware-a low-power central processing unit (CPU),
limited random access memory (RAM) and read-only memory
(ROM), low resolution, small displays, and very limited software and image functionality. This drove the tethering of the
PC to provide data management. However, today, printers have
seen the same revolution in capability (i.e., CPU power and
usability) that has taken place in the mobile market. Today's
