Browse Function 

The Browse function enables you to browse through locally-saved files on the device (usually from 
other applications), and allows you to choose a document or file to print. Once a file is selected, the 
home screen view, with file name (under Status, at bottom of screen) appears. You can select the 
printer you wish to print from, and then select the [

Print

] button to send the print job and receive the 

associated Release Code. 

Note

: The Browse function is only available on BlackBerry PlayBook (for 

general file system access) and Android (for access to the Photos folder). 

 
 
Jobs Function 

On the home screen, press [

Jobs

] to display the 

Jobs status window. If print jobs have been sent, 
the Jobs screen will show print activity, including 
when the job was sent, when the job will expire, 
and the Release Code. There are also options to 
delete single jobs, as well as all non-active jobs. 

 

 

 

 

Nearby Behavior and Map Function 

When launched, the HotSpot Printing App will automatically search for nearby printers; the 
home screen defaults to the 

Nearby View

. The application requires access to the location 

service of your device to perform this search.  If the location service is disabled, or not allowed, 
this feature may not be able to function.  In this scenario a user may set their current location by 
selecting the 

Location

 icon 

 and entering their current street address.  When the setting is 

saved, the HotSpot Printing App will automatically run a geo location for the address and use 
the location during the application session.
