Beyond Retail: The Imperative Ubiquitous Security in Wireless Printers While the importance of enhanced security and encryption protocols for wireless hardware has long been understood in the retail industry, where identifying theft and credit card fraud are well-known and well publicized security concerns, the need for protective technology is now pervasive across all industry as the network threat environment has evolved. This concern includes wireless local area networks (WLANs) and associated hardware, such as wireless printers. |

The Power of Mobile Printing in the Warehouse and Beyond In today’s precarious economic environment, global enterprises are experiencing a dual pinch: one, difficult times have cut operating budgets significantly, and rehiring to support growth after the contraction remains difficult; secondly, as investments in new equipment and systems have been delayed or denied, the optimization of warehouse and supply chain processes has become a critical factor in balancing costs, labor, and assets. What’s more, this optimization must occur while maximizing productivity and improving responsiveness to customer demands. With the growing emphasis on cost cutting, companies need to find new and better ways to enhance efficiencies and ensure accuracy across their supply chains and distribution networks. One strategy that is still effective in helping achieve this goal is the implementation of greater mobility into warehousing and distribution functions through devices such as mobile printers. |

PrintPAD meets the needs of the increasingly demanding mobile printing market In virtually all market segments, companies are demanding new technologies to upgrade current mobile field service processes. Mobile printing solutions are an important part of meeting these evolving demands. Driving the adoption of mobile printers is the overarching goal of automating processes that were previously accomplished manually. Achieving this goal has two principal benefits to the user: one, improving the internal performance of the organization (i.e., improving the productivity, efficiency, and accuracy of field service personnel in executing their work), and two, achieving higher levels of customer service and satisfaction. Both of these accrue to the bottom line. |

A brief guide to Bar Code Printing Bar coding is an automatic identification and data collection technology commonly referred to as AutoID. The most visible and familiar bar codes are the ones found in retail and grocery stores. These bar codes (parallel, adjacent bars) are found on many product labels or printed on the products themselves. AutoID technology has been in use for more than 30 years especially with shipping/ receiving, warehousing and manufacturing companies. As technology advanced to where the personal computer has become the indispensable tool for business operations, AutoID technology has gained global acceptance to provide immediate and accurate data collection. Over the years many industries have development standards to ensure product identification and compliance within their respective industry such as HIBCC (Healthcare), HAZMAT (Chemical), POSTNET (Postal) and AIAG (Automotive). |

The importance of enhanced security and encryption protocols for wireless hardware In the storefront, at the office, throughout the warehouse, and on the road, wireless technology is a critical tool for conducting and improving business. Yet, despite its ubiquitous presence in business, we still read, almost daily, about hackers breaking into large network databases—heightening concerns about identity theft and credit card fraud. Security risks associated with wireless networks have forced businesses to comply with new, more stringent regulations for network security and data encryption. This document outlines the risks your wireless network faces and summarizes current state-of-the-art wireless hardware security systems. It also highlights critical factors to consider when selecting hardware partners to protect your future investment in wireless technology. |
