Indeed, business travelers and mobile professionals need to be able to print from the road, satellite offices, library, hotel room, café or restaurant, as easily as they print documents at their home or corporate office. As businesses must compete in a global marketplace, easy access to the printed page - presentations, spec sheets, proposals, boarding passes, travel itinerary - has never been more important.... • A hotel chain uses HotSpot Printers to enable guests (users) to print securely from their rooms without the involvement of IT staff. Integration with the hotel's accounting system allows print charges to be billed directly to guest (user) rooms. • A coffee franchise uses HotSpot Printers to cater to their Web-surfing clientele. Having printers on site lengthens customer stays, increasing revenues on refills. The ability to support cash payments also increases revenue. • A law firm uses HotSpot Printers to enable visiting attorneys and clients to print, as needed, without IT support.
