Additional Comments Regarding Mobile Print

• Support for Printing Website Links - Mobile Print 2.0 enables users to print a document simply by emailing a web link to it. This feature works for all supported document types. For example, sending the following link for printing will succeed because PDF is a supported document type.  http://www.pharos.com/documents/brochures-EDU/EDU-Pharos-sellsheet.pdf
• On the other hand, emailing the following web link will not be processed for printing because Mobile Print does not support printing HTM/HTML files to keep the environment more secure. http://www.pharos.com/support/downloads/terminals/PS150/PS150-2.2.2-revision-9197-readme.htm

Take note that for this feature to work:

• The hyperlink should be the first line on the email message.
• Only one hyperlink is allowed per email message.
• After 3 hours, your job will no longer be eligible to print.
