'Smart UX Center', Android OS-based printing solution

Samsung Electronics is expanding its printing ecosystem of 'multifunction printer-mobile-office' by introducing a new mobile 'Smart UX Center' utilizing smartphones.

The 'Smart UX Center', which was installed in Samsung MX series multifunction printers, is a printing solution that allows users to configure and use multifunction printer functions with about 30 applications and widgets through a 10.1-inch full-touch color LCD panel based on Android OS.

The mobile 'Smart UX Center,' newly introduced in the first half of 2016, allows users to remotely edit not only basic functions of the multifunction printer such as printing, copying, and scanning, but also photos of people and landscapes, through an application installed on a smartphone, without the hassle of having to go to the multifunction printer to print.

In addition, while the existing 'Smart UX Center' was only supported on Samsung's high-performance MX series multifunction printers, the mobile 'Smart UX Center' is available for use on entry-level multifunction printers such as the C2670 and M3065, making it easily accessible to small and medium-sized businesses and individual customers.

We plan to further strengthen our focus on the B2B market.

Meanwhile, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York features the MX series equipped with a 'Smart UX Center'.We evaluated the excellence of the product positively and decided to install Samsung’s A3 and A4 multifunction printers in the newly expanded art museum office.

Samsung Electronics plans to further strengthen its targeting of the B2B market in 2016 with customized printing products and solutions.

At the Samsung Developers Conference (SDC) to be held in San Francisco next April, we plan to create a session introducing the 'Smart UX Center' and actively encourage interest and participation in the printing ecosystem from printing solution providers and individual developers worldwide.

In terms of hardware, the plan is to focus on color mid-to-high speed printers, which are the fastest-growing segment in the B2B market, with the C30 series scheduled for release in the first half of the year and the C35 series in the second half.

“In 2015, the UK Consumer Federation selected Samsung as the ‘Best Printer Brand,’ and the MX7 received positive evaluations, such as succeeding in a one-million-page print test in a US professional review,” said Song Seong-won, Executive Vice President of Strategy Marketing at Samsung Electronics’ Printing Solutions Business Division. “We will change the landscape of the industry with Samsung’s unique printing ecosystem.”
