Mobile Printing with Konica Minolta Photocopiers: Your Quick and Easy Guide

Printing from your phone should be as easy as sending a text, and with Konica Minolta photocopiers, it pretty much is. Whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android device, Konica Minolta has made mobile printing straightforward, with built-in compatibility and dedicated apps.

No more emailing documents to yourself or fumbling with USB drives – just print directly from your phone, hassle-free.

Let’s walk through how you can get started.

Printing from an iPhone

If you’re an iPhone user, you have a couple of ways to print directly from your device without needing to install extra software.

1. AirPrint – The Quickest Option

Many Konica Minolta multifunction printers (MFPs) come with AirPrint built-in. This means you can print directly from your iPhone as long as the printer and your phone are on the same Wi-Fi network.

How to use AirPrint:

  • Open the document, photo, or email you want to print.
  • Tap the Share button (the square with an upward arrow).
  • Select Print.
  • Choose your Konica Minolta printer from the list.
  • Adjust print settings (if needed) and hit Print.

That’s it – no drivers, no extra setup.

2. Konica Minolta Mobile Print App – More Control

For extra flexibility, the Konica Minolta Mobile Print app (available on the App Store) lets you do more than just print. You can:
 ✔ Print from cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.)
 ✔ Scan documents from the MFP straight to your phone
 ✔ Print web pages directly from your browser

If you need to tweak print settings, this app gives you more options than AirPrint.

Printing from an Android Device

Android users also have multiple ways to print, depending on what works best for them.

1. Mopria Print Service – No Extra Apps Needed

Konica Minolta printers support the Mopria Print Service, which is a built-in feature on many Android devices. If your phone runs Android 4.4 or later, you can print directly from apps like Gmail, Chrome, and Google Docs without installing anything extra.

How to print with Mopria:

  • Open the document, email, or web page you want to print.
  • Tap the Menu button (three dots).
  • Select Print.
  • Choose your Konica Minolta printer from the list.
  • Adjust settings and tap Print.

Simple and effective.

2. Konica Minolta Print Service – More Features

If your Android phone doesn’t support Mopria or you want more control, you can install the Konica Minolta Print Service from the Google Play Store. This allows you to print from any app that supports Android’s built-in printing features.

3. Konica Minolta Mobile Print App – Full Control

Just like on iPhone, the Konica Minolta Mobile Print app for Android gives you even more features:
 ✔ Print from cloud storage
 ✔ Scan directly to your phone
 ✔ Print web pages
 ✔ Access advanced print settings

If you regularly print from your phone, this app is a great addition.

Extra Features for Easier Printing

Some Konica Minolta printers also support Wi-Fi Direct and NFC (Near Field Communication), which let you print without even needing a Wi-Fi network.

  • Wi-Fi Direct – If there’s no Wi-Fi network available, your phone can connect directly to the printer’s built-in Wi-Fi. Great for quick, one-off prints.
  • NFC Printing – If your printer and phone both support NFC, you can simply tap your phone on the printer to send your document to print. No menus, no searching for printers – just tap and print.

Ready to go mobile?

Being able to print from your phone makes life easier – whether you’re in a busy office, working remotely, or just need to print something quickly at home. Konica Minolta’s mobile printing options give you flexibility, letting you send documents to the printer without needing a computer.

If you’re not using mobile printing yet, it’s worth giving it a try. You’ll wonder how you ever managed without it! As ever, we’re here at Evolve to help if you have any questions.
