Device Apps That Turn Your MFP Into a Workflow Hub
You already have powerful copiers and printers—but most teams only use a fraction of what they can do. With the right device apps and integrations, you can add secure print release, mobile printing, scan-to-cloud buttons, and workflow automation so documents move faster, safer, and with fewer manual steps.
Quick answer: what are “device apps”?
Device apps are add-ons that run on (or connect to) your copier/MFP so you can authenticate users, route scans to the right place, enable mobile printing, apply policies, and get reporting—without relying on “tribal knowledge.”
If your main goal is cost control + uptime, start with Managed Print Services. If you only need toner/ink, go to supplies.
Choose your path (fastest way to the right solution)
Device apps can mean “mobile print,” “scan buttons,” “secure release,” or “automation.” Pick what matches your situation and you’ll get answers faster.
Mobile printing + basic scan
Best when you want users to print/scan from phones or laptops with minimal change management.
Secure print release
Best when you have sensitive documents, shared devices, or lots of abandoned prints.
Routing + document automation
Best when you’re moving documents through teams (HR, AP, projects) and want fewer manual steps.
Fastest discovery question: “Where does the document start, where should it end up, and who touches it in between?” That’s the quickest way to map the right device buttons, routing rules, and reporting.
Use cases: what you can solve with device apps
Secure print release
Require badge/PIN to release jobs at the device—reducing abandoned prints and protecting sensitive documents.
Scan-to-cloud buttons
One-touch scan destinations that push files into the right folders and systems with consistent naming.
Job accounting & reporting
Track usage by user/department, spot waste, enforce duplex/color rules, and budget more accurately.
Standardized queues
Reduce “can’t print” issues by simplifying drivers, queues, permissions, and device onboarding.
Mobile print & scan
Enable printing and scanning from phones/tablets with a familiar app experience for end users.
Workflow routing
Apply rules (by department, form type, client/project) so documents arrive where they belong without manual sorting.
Official mobile apps by brand (good “first step” solutions)
These are official manufacturer app pages (best for brand-specific workflows). If you need consistent rules and reporting across a mixed fleet, jump to the fleet-wide layer below.
Xerox Workplace Mobile App
A strong starting point for mobile printing and user-friendly authentication experiences in Xerox environments.
CANON PRINT App
Mobile printing/scanning options designed for Canon environments—useful for quick adoption and simple user training.
Kyocera Mobile Apps
Official Kyocera mobile workflow options. Great when you’re standardizing user experience across departments or locations.
Epson Smart Panel App
An app-first approach for common print/scan tasks in Epson environments—useful when you want a simple mobile UX for users.
If you’re running multiple brands (or multiple sites), manufacturer apps can be step one—but the real consistency usually comes from a fleet-wide layer (policies, reporting, secure release).
Fleet-wide control (when you want one set of rules everywhere)
PaperCut print management + secure release
If you want consistent controls across a mixed fleet—secure release, reporting, rules (duplex, color control), and visibility by user/department—this is often the foundation. ABT helps you scope it so you get the controls you want without overcomplicating deployment.
If your goal is cost predictability and uptime (not just apps), Managed Print Services is usually the umbrella strategy: ABT Managed Print Services.
ABT categories that pair naturally with device apps
Device apps work best when they’re part of a bigger plan—service coverage, supplies, security, and standardized workflows. These ABT category pages help you connect the dots.
Managed Print Services
Cost control + uptime + reporting—often the “operating system” for your print environment.
Services & Support
When apps touch scanning, authentication, or drivers, support matters. Keep it stable and consistent.
Products (Copiers & Printers)
If your devices are aging or inconsistent, app rollouts get harder. Standardization makes apps easier.
Supplies
Need toner/ink without a full program? Order fast and keep users printing.

Help Desk Support
Ideal when you want a consistent support path for print/scan and device-adjacent issues.
How ABT deploys device apps (simple, low-risk process)
Define “start → finish”
What’s the document, where does it go, and who touches it? That becomes your workflow blueprint.
Make it repeatable
We build consistent device buttons, permissions, and policies so your process doesn’t depend on one power user.
Roll out + measure
Deploy to locations/groups, then track results—less waste, fewer tickets, better security, faster throughput.
Get a demo: tell us what you want to automate
Tell us your device brand(s), locations, and your “start → finish” workflow goal. We’ll recommend the best-fit approach: official manufacturer apps, a fleet-wide layer, or a workflow automation plan.

FAQs
Do device apps work if I have multiple copier brands?
Yes. Brand-specific apps are great inside one ecosystem. If you need consistent policies and reporting across brands or sites, a fleet-wide platform can standardize the experience.
What’s the fastest first win?
Secure print release plus standardized scan buttons (scan-to-folder/cloud). It cuts waste, reduces security exposure, and stops the “where did I scan it?” problem.
Is this part of Managed Print Services (MPS)?
It can be. Many teams bundle apps and workflow improvements into MPS so the environment stays standardized over time. See Managed Print Services.
Can ABT help even if we’re not sure what we need?
Yes. Start with a demo request and share your workflow goal. If you want a broader baseline first, request an assessment.
