ThinPrint has launched the Content Beamer, a mobile document output system which enables BlackBerry users to print, fax and view documents that they receive via email. Along with the existing features of the Content Beamer for BlackBerry, such as printing via Bluetooth printers or network printers, the update allows users to send files to fax machines and to display and save compressed files on a laptop screen.
As with the original software, features are not restricted to any particular file-type. Via the "Print-to-Screen" function, users can easily display Powerpoint files and CAD-files, a format frequently used in the construction industry. "Print-to-Screen" works via Bluetooth and will show a compressed read-only file on a PC or laptop display. Users can also send files direct to a fax machine, which is practical when there is no printer available.
"The new version of Content Beamer gives BlackBerry users several options for working with mailed documents intelligently to achieve productive mobile working," said Carsten Mickeleit, Managing Director at ThinPrint GmbH.
Drivers working for logistics companies can now print documents immediately via the Bluetooth printers they carry on board. Also, construction plans or other large format CAD files can be conveniently viewed when sent via "Print-to-Screen" at any site."
