FedEx Office launches BlackBerry, USB printing solution
FedEx Office has launched FedEx Office Print & Go – a technology that enables customers to access and print documents directly from BlackBerry smartphones and USB flash drives on its digital copy machines. The smartphone printing feature of this solution is enabled by the HP ePrint mobile printing application.
FedEx Office Print & Go can be found on select Canon printing devices within the self-service area at the company’s retail locations, providing customers added convenience and flexibility.
The company says it is the only print retailer to offer self-service printing from both BlackBerry smartphones and USB flash drives nationwide.
The service is now available at more than 1,600 locations and will be offered at all US stores later this year.
Customers can simply plug their USB flash drive or enter a retrieval code e-mailed to their BlackBerry smartphone into FedEx Office Print & Go machines and use the digital screens to select, preview and print Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint and Adobe PDF documents.
In addition, customers can choose to have their print jobs produced by professionally trained team members at the full-service counter.
“With the launch of FedEx Office Print & Go, we are giving customers exactly what they have asked for – a convenient and simple way to convert digital content into printed material at FedEx Office locations across the country,” said Brian Philips, president and CEO, FedEx Office.
