Muddo ayay qaadatay, laakiin Smart Home tignoolajiyada kicinta codka ayaa ugu dambeyntii ku fiday daabacayaasha iyo dhammaan-in-mid ( AIO ), daabac, nuqul, iskaan, iyo marmar fakis, daabacayaasha.

Iyadoo la tixgelinayo waxa ay u baahan tahay in la sameeyo qalab, gaar ahaan qalab horay u lahaa tignoolajiyada wireless-ka lagu dhex dhisay, smart, waxay ahayd inay dhacdo wakhti dheer ka hor. Sidoo kale, marka la eego muddada firfircoonida codku ay jirtay, waxaad u badan tahay inaad la yaabi doonto sida ay dhab ahaantii u tahay mid hoosaysa taageerada tignoolajiyadan.

Walaal^(Brother) , soo saaraha daabacaadda weyn, tusaale ahaan, sida qoraalkan, weli ma laha madbacadaha Smart Home gabi ahaanba.^{(Smart Home)}

Haddii Tani, ka dibna Print^{(If This, Then Print)}

Bixiyeyaasha ugu sarreeya ee Smart Home waa, dabcan, Amazon Alexa , Google Home , Apple Siri , iyo Microsoft Cortana . Adeegyadani waxay ku tiirsan yihiin aaladaha ay ku jiraan kuwa ku hadla iyo makarafoonnada ku xira intarneedka iyada oo la adeegsanayo router-ka wireless-ka, iyo sidoo kale aaladaha xisaabinta, sida taleefannada casriga ah, tablet-yada, laptop-yada, iyo kombuyuutarrada desktop-ka.

Waxaa jira faa'iidooyin iyo faa'iido darrooyin labada habba. Qalabka casriga^(Smart) ah, sida Alexa Echo , tusaale ahaan, badanaa waxay u baahan yihiin qalabyo badan oo adeega ah si ay ugu fidiyaan guriga oo dhan. Firfircoonida talefanka casriga^(Smart) ah waxay u baahantahay in aad haysato talefankaaga.

Waxa muhiim ah in la xuso, in kastoo, waxa loogu yeero aaladaha “smart” ee si cod ah ugu shaqeeya Alexa iyo adeegyada kale ma ahan kuwo aad uga caqli badan aalad la mid ah oo aan lahayn tignoolajiyada Smart Home .

Nalalka^(Smart) iftiinka ee casriga ah, tusaale ahaan, waxay si fudud uga kooban yihiin raadiyaha bilaa-waayirka ah oo awood u leh inay fahmaan oo ay fuliyaan IFTTT (haddii ay tani tahay) tignoolajiyada. Si kale haddii loo dhigo, qalabka dhegeysiga wuxuu maqlaa: "Haddii aad maqasho Alexa , shid iftiinka qolka fadhiga (haddii tani), ka dibna shid iftiinka (ka dibna taas)," taas oo ah mid aad u fudud, barnaamijka aasaasiga ah.

Daabacaha wireless-ka, markaa, wuxuu u baahan yahay oo kaliya inuu fahmo oo fuliyo IFTTT , kaas oo uu horeyba u sameeyay hal hab ama si kale, si uu u noqdo Smart , ama codka firfircoon. Si kale haddii loo dhigo, run ahaantii lama hadlaysid daabacaha laftiisa.

Qalabka Smart ama qalabkaaga kombuyuutarada ayaa tarjuma oo u soo dira amarka IFTTT , marna si toos ah marna internetka. Marka, markaad tiraahdo, " Google , daabac jadwalkayga," dhammaan daabacaha ayaa ka jawaabaya amarka Daabacaadda^(Print) , oo ay ku xigto xogta loo baahan yahay si loo daabaco jadwalka; Runtii waxba ma “maqlo”

Xaqiiqdu waxay tahay, dhammaan daabacayaashu runtii waxay u baahan yihiin inay noqdaan "xariif" waa dhowr xariiq oo kood ah oo ku jira qalabkeeda gudaha. Waxaad u malaynaysaa, markaas, in madbacadaha badan codka la hawlgelin doono. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxa soo socdaa waa liiska daabacayaasha waaweyn iyo waxa shirkad kasta ay ku bixiso madbacadaha Smart Home .

Walaal^(Brother)

Sidii aan horayba u sheegay, Walaal^(Brother) , samaynta daabacadaha AIO -ka hooseeya ee guriga si loogu diyaariyo moodooyinka ganacsiga-dhamaadka sare leh, iyo sidoo kale daabacadaha laser-ka ee heerka gelitaanka ilaa mugga sare, ma bixiyaan tiknoolajiyada firfircoonida codka.^(AIO)

Shirkaddu waxay soo bandhigtaa taxane ganacsi oo Smart^{(Business Smart)} ah oo ah aaladaha AIO , laakiin astaantaas waxaa la magacaabay waqti dheer ka hor imaanshaha tignoolajiyada Smart Home .

Canon

Dhammaan xafiisyada guriga iyo guriga ku salaysan ee Pixmas ee Canon ayaa sii daayay dhowrkii bilood ee la soo dhaafay waxay la socdaan Amazon Alexa iyo taageerada Google Home , iyo sidoo kale IFTTT waafaqid kuwa doonaya inay abuuraan qoraallo iyaga u gaar ah adeegyada kale (ma aha mid adag sida aad awoodid. ka fikir).

Kuwaas waxaa ka mid ah Pixma TS9520-dhamaadka sare^{(Pixma TS9520)} iyo TS9521C qaab-balaadhan sawir-macmiil-qaabaysan AIO printers (kan dambe waa daabacaha "crafters" loogu talagalay scrapbookers), Pixma TS8220 , TS6220 , iyo TS702 madbacadaha sawirka^(TS702) macaamiisha ee AIO , sidoo kale Sida xafiiska guriga ku saleysan ee TR4520 AIO .

Canon waxa ay cusboonaysiisaa dhammaan qaybteeda daabacadaha khad-jidhka ah iyo AIO-yada^(AIOs) , waxaana jira kuwo badan, oo ku saabsan 12 ilaa 18 bilood kasta, khadka oo dhanna waa la dhammeeyaa oo la beddelaa afartii ama shantii sannadoodba mar. Waa ammaan in la qiyaaso, markaa, in hadda laga bilaabo dhammaan mashiinnada khadadka-khadka ah ee macaamiisha ay la imaan doonaan taageero IFTTT la mid ah, iyo sidoo kale horumar kasta oo xagga tignoolajiyada ah.

Shirkaddu waxay sidoo kale samaysaa xariiq daabacayaasha laysarka ah iyo AIOs , oo u dhexeeya dhammaadka-dhamaadka ilaa dhexda. Dhowr ka mid ah kuwan waxaa loogu talagalay xafiisyada yaryar iyo kuwa guriga ku saleysan.

Ilaa hadda, Canon ma uusan sii deyn wax macluumaad ah oo ku saabsan haddii ay qorsheyneyso inay ku darto taageerada IFTTT mashiinadan, iyo jawaabta PR rep ee su'aashayda waxay ahayd, " Waan ka xumahay^(Sorry) , waa inaad sugtaa oo aragtaa," taas oo aan caadi ahayn shirkad kasta oo xafidaysa qorshayaasheeda cusub ee sirta ah (dhammaantood way sameeyaan).

Epson

Epson waxa ay si weyn u aqbashay firfircoonida codka Alexa iyo IFTTT . Ma aha oo kaliya waxay ku iman doontaa dhammaan mustaqbalka shirkadda Epson EcoTank , WorkForce iyo Expression daabacayaasha iyo AIOs , laakiin Epson ayaa sidoo kale samaysay casriyeyn firmware diyaar u ah dhammaan Epson EcoTank hadda iyo kuwii horeba , WorkForce iyo moodooyinka Muujinta^(Expression) ee taageera Epson Connect , taas oo ku lug leh kaliya ku saabsan mishiin kasta oo ay shirkaddu samaysay dhawrkii sano ee la soo dhaafay.

Ilaa hadda, shirkadu waxay fulisay kaliya taageerada Alexa ; inkastoo ay jiraan xalal loogu talagalay Google Home iyo adeegyada kale ee kicinta codka. Google , tusaale ahaan, waxay kaa caawinaysaa abuurista amaradaada IFTTT halkan. ^(here.)Waxaadna ka heli kartaa dhammaan gargaarka aad u baahan tahay iyo wax ka badan IFTTT.com .

Marka la eego marka Epson ay ballaarin doonto taageeradeeda si loogu daro Google Home iyo kuwa kale, jawaabta wakiilka ee shirkaddu waxay ahayd, si fiican, waxaad qiyaastay, "Waxba ma aqaan!"

HP

HP waxa uu bixiyaa dhowr xafiis oo guri iyo guri ku salaysan AIOs , laakiin ilaa hadda waxa ay si toos ah Alexa , Google Home , iyo IFTTT taageero kaliya ee ay guri-oriented Tango iyo Tango X AIOs . Farqiga u dhexeeya labada Tangos ayaa ah in kan dambe uu la yimaado buug-daboolid-u eg kaas oo asal ahaan ka dhigaya mashiinka, si qurxinta gurigaaga uusan u xirin daabacaad hoose.

Ogsoonow inaad Alexa ka dhaqaajin karto aaladaha kale ee ku xidhan mareegaha HP adoo isticmaalaya ciwaanka iimaylka gaarka ah ee HP u qoondeeyay mid kasta oo ka mid ah daabacaadadiisa iyo adoo awood u siinaya waxa HP ugu yeedhay xirfadda daabacaadda HP^{(HP Printer Skill)} .

Waxaad ka heli kartaa tilmaamo ku saabsan dejinta Alexa goobtan^{(at this site)} . Guriga Google^{(Google Home)} wuxuu la shaqayn doonaa mashiinada HP-ga ee kale ee ku xidhan mareegaha iyadoo la sii marinayo abka HP printer iyo Google Cloud Print adoo raacaya tilmaamahan^{(following these instructions)} .

Mustaqbalka daabacayaasha casriga ah^{(The Future of Smart Printers )}

Haddii aad i waydiiso, qaar badan oo ka mid ah AIO^(AIOs) -yada maanta ayaa ah kuwo aad u caqli badan, leh ama aan lahayn hawlgelin cod. Faa'iido ma jirtaa inaad daabacdo dukumentiyada adigoon ka tagin sariirtaada? Waxaad sharad ku gashay inuu jiro, laakiin aynu wajahno, ma jiraan wax badan oo kale oo aad ku samayn karto daabacaha codka-firfircoon ee aan ahayn daabacaadda.

Hubaal, adiga ama soo-saareha daabacahaagu waxa aad ku dari kartaan qoraallada IFTTT si loo baadho oo koobiyo loo sameeyo, laakiin ma samayn kartid mid ka mid ah kuwan adiga oo aan marka hore asalka ku dhejin saxanka iskaanka ama feedhaha dukumeentiga tooska ah ( ADF ), kaas oo, marka laga reebo qaar xaalado aad u gaar ah, nooc ka mid ah guuldarooyinka ujeedada.

Si kastaba ha ahaatee, waxay u badan tahay inayna dheerayn ka hor Brother (taas oo ka dhigaysa daabacayaasha aad u fiican iyo AIOs , jidka) waxay la yimaadaan mashiinnada codka ku shaqeeya.

Epson wuxuu ugu dambeyntii ku dari doonaa taageerada adeegyada kale, Canon wuxuu kordhin doonaa tirada wax- bixinta Smart Home , oo ay u badan tahay dhammaan mashiinnada guriga ku jihaysan mustaqbalka. Ugu dambeyntii, waxaa laga yaabaa inaan xitaa ku aragno tignoolajiyada daabacayaasha ganacsiga ku jihaysan. Waa inaan sugno oo aragnaa.

The State of Smart Home Printer Technology – Convenient, But Not All That Smart

It took a while, but Smart Hоme voice-activation teсhnology finally extended to printers and all-in-оne (AIO), print, copy, scan, and sometimes fax, printers.

Considering what it takes to make a device, especially a device that already has wireless tech built-in, smart, it should have happened a long time ago. Also, given how long voice activation has been around, you’ll probably be surprised at how under-supported this technology really is.

Brother, a huge printer manufacturer, for example, as of this writing, still has no Smart Home printers at all.

If This, Then Print

The top Smart Home providers are, of course, Amazon Alexa, Google Home, Apple Siri, and Microsoft Cortana. These services rely on devices containing speakers and microphones that connect to the internet via your wireless router, as well as computing devices, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop PCs.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches. The Smart devices, like Alexa Echo, for example, often require multiple devices for the service to extend all over the house. Smartphone activation requires you to have your phone with you.

What’s important to note, though, is that so called “smart” devices that activate vocally via Alexa and the other services are not all that much smarter than a similar device sans Smart Home technology.

Smart light bulbs, for instance, simply contain wireless radios with the ability to understand and execute IFTTT (if this then that) technology. In other words, the listening device hears: “If you hear Alexa, turn on the living room light (if this), then turn on the light (then that),” which is very simple, basic programing.

A wireless printer, then, needs only to understand and execute IFTTT, which it already does in one way or another, to become Smart, or voice activated. In other words, you’re not actually speaking to the printer itself.

The Smart device or your computing device interprets and sends the IFTTT command, sometimes directly and sometimes over the internet. So, when you say, “Google, print my schedule,” all the printer does is respond to a Print command, followed by the data required to print the schedule; it doesn’t actually “hear” anything.

The point is, all the printer really needs to become “smart” is a few more lines of code in its internal firmware. You’d think, then, that more printers would be voice activated. In any case, what follows is a list of the major printer makers and what each company offers by way of Smart Home printers.

Brother

As I said earlier, Brother, the maker of low-end AIO inkjet printers for the home to higher-end business-ready models, as well as laser printers from entry-level to high-volume, doesn’t offer voice activation technology.

The company does offer a Business Smart series of AIO devices, but that brand was named long before the advent of Smart Home technology.

Canon

All the home and home-based office Pixmas that Canon has released over the past several months come with Amazon Alexa and Google Home support, as well IFTTT compatibility for those inclined to create their own scripts for other services (it’s not as hard as you might think).

These include the higher-end Pixma TS9520 and TS9521C wide-format consumer-grade photo AIO printers (the latter is a “crafters” printer designed for scrapbookers), the Pixma TS8220, TS6220, and TS702 consumer-grade photo AIO printers, as well as the home-based office-oriented TR4520 AIO.

Canon updates its entire suite of inkjet printers and AIOs, and there are many, about every 12 to 18 months, and the entire line is made over and replaced about every four or five years. It’s safe to assume, then, that from now on all its consumer-grade inkjet machines will come with similar IFTTT support, as well as any advances in the technology.

The company also makes a line of laser printers and AIOs, ranging from lower-end to midrange. Several of these are designed for small and home-based offices.

So far, Canon hasn’t released any information about whether it plans on adding IFTTT support to these machines, and the PR rep’s response to my inquiry was, “Sorry, you’ll have to wait and see,” which is not unusual for any company that keeps their new-product plans secret (they all do).

Epson

Epson has embraced Alexa and IFTTT voice activation in a big way. Not only will it come in all the company’s future Epson EcoTank, WorkForce and Expression printers and AIOs, but Epson has also made a firmware update available for all its current and past Epson EcoTank, WorkForce and Expression models that support Epson Connect, which entails just about every machine the company has made over the past few years.

So far, the company has implemented only Alexa support; although there are solutions for Google Home and other voice activation services. Google, for example, provides help for creating your own IFTTT commands here. And you can find all the help you need and more at IFTTT.com.

As for when Epson will widen its support to include Google Home and others, the company rep’s response to my query was, well, you guessed it, “I know nothing!”

HP

HP offers several home and home-based office AIOs, but so far it provides direct Alexa, Google Home, and IFTTT support only on its home-oriented Tango and Tango X AIOs. The difference between the two Tangos is that the latter comes with a book-cover-like wrap that essentially disguises the machine, so that your home décor isn’t mucked up by a lowly printer.

Note that you can activate Alexa on other HP web-connected devices via the unique email address that HP assigns to each of its printers and by enabling what HP calls the HP Printer Skill.

You can find instructions for setting up Alexa at this site. Google Home will work with other web-connected HP machines via the HP printer app and Google Cloud Print by following these instructions.

The Future of Smart Printers

If you ask me, many of today’s AIOs are already pretty darn smart, with or without voice activation. Is there an advantage to printing documents without leaving your couch? You bet there is, but let’s face it, there’s not much else you can do with a voice-activated printer other than print.

Sure, you or your printer manufacturer can include IFTTT scripts for scanning and making copies, but you can’t do either of these without first placing an original on the scanner platen or in the automatic document feeder (ADF), which, except for some very specific scenarios, sort of defeats the purpose.

In any case, it probably won’t be long before Brother (which makes terrific printers and AIOs, by the way) comes on board with voice-activated machines.

Epson will eventually add support for other services, and Canon will increase its number of Smart Home offerings, most likely all its future home-oriented machines. Eventually, we may even see the technology on business-oriented printers. We’ll just have to wait and see.
