In the process of using traditional printers, many people have had such an experience, the printer driver can not be installed, can not be connected or need to transfer files on other devices to the computer and other issues. According to reports, this printer eliminates such cumbersome processes and troubles, and WeChat QQ files can be printed directly.

As for document printing, the data imported by the mobile phone memory or software will automatically appear in the "Print" ribbon, and after testing, the printer can not only print common file formats such as PPT, Word, PDF, etc., but also print pictures. Scanning and printing includes four parts: photographing documents, photographing examination papers, photographing wrong questions, and photographing books. Among them, when shooting test papers and books, even if the left and right pages are taken together, the meow machine home learning printer F1 will automatically split into two pages for printing, avoiding repetition and mistypes.
The printer also offers two printing modes, a smart mode that automatically uses home networking and a normal printing mode that can consume mobile phone traffic, and users can switch between specific usage. This also means that it supports remote printing, that is, when printing, the phone does not have to be in the same network as the printer. Imagine a scenario where when parents are not at home, children at home need to print learning materials, and parents can help children achieve remote operation.
As a product of homework help, the rich learning materials have become the innate advantages and confidence of the meow machine home learning printer F1. Moreover, its positioning is also that the main function is to help children learn.

The printer has a thoughtful highlight function, when scanning and printing the test paper, you can remove the writing traces of the test paper with one click. In such a scenario, for example, when the child loses the test paper and borrows the classmate's copy, or when he finishes a set of exercise questions and wants to do it again, the importance of this "restoring the test paper" function is reflected.
In addition, it also has the function of "wrong question group paper", using the "meow machine" APP to shoot the test paper or wrong questions, without any cutting operation, you can sort out the wrong questions and answers, analysis and other content, and can be added to the "meow machine" APP in the wrong question book, at the same time can be selected wrong questions to regroup the paper printed out, the later can focus on the wrong questions for improvement.
