For hotels with 802.11 (WiFi) guest Internet access, PrinterOn said the Focus software closes the loop for end-to-end data encryption using 3DES, providing secure piece of mind for guests printing over wireless networks. The encrypted print data is received immediately from the source so that guest files are not compromised by being saved on an off-site server for later "pull" down to the destination printer. The company said the additional security benefit of the PrinterOn "push" approach is that data prints immediately when released so no waiting is required.
Focus does not require special printers or hardware printer peripherals. Focus lets the hotelier use existing printers of any make or model, so new printers do not need to be purchased. The Hotelier may choose to make printers available to guests at the business center, front desk, conference room, on every floor, or each guest room. A single implementation of Focus supports all the printers in a hotel.
