What is Epson Connect?
Epson Connect is a cloud service that connects smart devices/PCs with Epson printers and multifunction devices (which serve as IoT edge devices) over the internet, allowing you to perform remote printing and upload scanned data to cloud storage without a driver.
Epson Connect was launched in 2011 and is available for most Epson home and office printers, multi-function printers, and scanners released since then. An internet connection is required for use. The service is now available in more than 170 countries worldwide.
Epson Connect Key Features
1. Print from anywhere
Even if you are away from your printer, you can print through the cloud when connected to the internet.
2. Scan and upload
Upload scanned data from the printer to pre-determined cloud storage services without using a PC.
3. No PC or driver required
No need to install a printer driver. PC-less printing can be done easily and quickly on any printer, even one you do not own.
What is Epson Connect API?
A Web API that allows you to incorporate Epson Connect functionality into your application. The advantages of implementing the API include "remote printing" and "direct transmission of scanned data files to designated cloud storage" from the printer itself.
Epson Connect API connects the digital and the physical and accelerates digital transformation.
