With the customer demands defining the flow and trends in technological inventions, Apple Inc.’s product invention; Airprint Activator that allows sharing resources via Wi-Fi could not have come at much better time.

Once you use Airprint Activator to link the devices, you have a wide range of tasks that you can do with the program like sharing DVD’s and CD’s, screen sharing, sharing of files, scanner sharing, printer sharing, remote login, remote management, xgrid sharing, internet sharing, Bluetooth sharing and remote apple events among others. Though the user is not allowed to select more than one task, the diversity in choices and the ease of connection are primarily the best qualities of this software.

Its uniqueness enables one to print full quality prints without specific printer driver requirements being met. This means printing even from a phone that is not directly connected to the printer! It can also select paper sizes from printers with dedicated paper trays.

It is also very user-friendly software, which is very easy to set up and use. Though you cannot change the print quality and print size, you can change the print quantity. There are very many third party applications that are supported by Airprint.
Apple maintains a list of the printers that are compatible with Airprint in their website. Currently the list boasts of over 700 compatible printer models from over 16 printer manufacturers. Some printers will require firmware to become Airprint enabled.
To print one should make sure that the iOS device has the latest version and the printer has the latest firmware installed. Airprint printers using USB ports or connected using Bluetooth are not supported while the ones connected by Ethernet are supported.

To print, one should first connect the devices using the Airprint Activator. You should then open the item to be printed. You should be near the printer if using this for the first time. Then you should select the amount of copies desired. After which, you should select the printer and print the document. More than one printer can be selected as long as they are connected to the virtual server created by the software.

You can also remove any resource from the share list by deselecting it since the Airprint Activator comes with an unchecking box.
Whether in a meeting with clients or workmates, at home with family or friends or at an event or function elsewhere, sharing of resources has never been easy. With printing being wireless, it is much easier to get hard copies of office documents, pdf documents, photos, web pages , emails. And since most manufacturers are making more Airprint compatible printers and scanners, the sky is the limit.
