Canon U.S.A. has launched three cloud-connected printers designed to simplify scanning, editing and printing photographs.
The printers - Pixma MG7520, MG6620, and MG5620 - connects the Pixma Printing Solutions app with Canon's Easy-PhotoPrint application to enable users to print documents directly from websites and applications. For example: users can tap on a Facebook photo, scan it into the Pixma printer, edit the photo and print it without connecting any cords.
The printers also feature Canon's Cloud Link and PictBridge applications, which can be used to share scanned documents via email and to connect Canon digital cameras directly to the printers without the need for a computer, respectively.
