According to forecasts of IDC company, by 2020 75% of employees will be mobile, the number of the people working out of office constantly grows. Lufthansas together with Konica Minolta support this trend: the passengers expecting a departure can print and copy necessary documents directly in the waiting room.

"We long looked for the safe and reliable solution for printing and copying in our waiting rooms, simple in terms of use by guests. On behalf of Konica Minolta we found the partner necessary to us. Continuous data about use of service in Frankfurt and Munich show that it is very popular among our passengers". Katharine Shmitner, the project manager in Lufthansa waiting rooms

The intuitive interface Konica Minolta MFP simplifies printing process, at the same time ensuring safety of data: passengers send documents to a certain e-mail address, and then receive the PIN code necessary for printing in a system. Safety of printing is ensured by Secure Guest Print – the application of the Konica Minolta bizhub Evolution platform for printing on demand. The service of free copying is available without code, and integration of function of scanning is planned for the future.
