Picta is an application that allows images taken remotely to be printed automatically on a connected printer at another location. It functions as a modern alternative to faxing, enabling real-time printing through an internet connection rather than a fax line.By using this app, users can also manage and track progress in remote areas.
To use Picta, you need a contract for the pictaWeb web application.
About Picta
Picta is a smart communication tool that replaces traditional faxing with real-time image transmission and automatic remote printing.With Picta, users can capture photos on their smartphones and have them instantly printed on a connected printer at another location through the cloud.
By integrating with the pictaWeb service, the app not only enables instant printing but also supports task-based sorting, document management, and remote progress tracking.This makes Picta ideal for businesses that require timely visual reporting, such as construction, logistics, or fieldwork operations.
Main Features
1. Fax Replacement Function
Picta enables printing without the need for a fax machine.After contracting for the pictaWeb service, you can use the app to print directly to a connected printer via the internet.When you take a photo with the Picta mobile app, the image is uploaded to a server and sent to a Windows-based automatic printing application installed elsewhere. The printer connected to that PC will automatically print the photo in real time.Photos uploaded from smartphones are also printed instantly.
2. Photo Capture with Sorting Information
When taking a photo, you can select a task or destination from a list (configured on the pictaWeb site).When the image is uploaded, it is automatically categorized or sorted according to that task.
This feature allows for:
-
Easier reporting and task management,
-
Automatic organization of work-related photos,
-
Real-time printing of categorized photos.
3. Document Function
You can send multiple photos at once.For example, if you have a five-page document, you can take five photos and send them together as one set.During printing, each page will be labeled automatically (e.g., "1/5", "2/5", … "5/5") to prevent pages from different documents from mixing together in the printer output.
