Sharp’s new Advanced Series machines include a built-in Sharp Serverless Print Release feature, commonly referred to as Follow-Me Printing.
Users can print to one machine where the job is stored, then walk to any of up to ten connected machines to release the print. The biggest advantage is that this feature is free of charge and requires no additional software or server. It only requires Sharp Advanced Series printers.
