While most don’t think of the printer as having an operating system, it actually does. It won’t have all of the same applications, but it would do what it does the best. All KCI printers will run the same OS which will be a closed version of Android that will have its own repository for the role that it has. The applications are as follows:
- Doc Scanner
- Doc Viewer
- K-Circle
- K-Colors
- K-Drive
- K-Fax
- K-Photos
- K-Print
As mentioned, the role of the printer is very specific, and intended for one job and one job only. All KCI printers will be able to use K-Fax to fax over the Internet. KCI will work with other eFaxing services to integrate their service into the printers for a small licensing fee. This will allow the customer to use the doc viewer to view a .pdf file on a thumb drive, and use their efax service to send the fax – without having to print or scan, although this too can be done.
