Pencel Corporation is giving developers a free trial copy of Bachmann Software's PrintBoy Software Developers Kit (SDK) with its visual application workshop.

Including wireless printing capabilities enables mobile professionals to wirelessly print data and reports directly from their Palm-powered handheld computers. By incorporating PrintBoy drivers into Kinectivity, a mobile extended database management system and application deployment platform, mobile users will be able to point and beam their data files directly from their handheld computers to any printer equipped to accept infrared input, so they can collect, view, and analyze data in a printed format rather than on the small screen of a handheld computer.

The ability to produce a hard copy of a Kinectivity-produced report by printing it directly from the handheld computer has been in high demand among Pencel's customers. Developers who choose to incorporate PrintBoy functionality into their applications built on the Kinectivity platform will provide users with the same level of overall printing capabilities they enjoy with their desktop PCs.

"Those who develop mobile computing applications are aiming to create applications that equip their users with a total handheld computing solution, including the ability to print data files and reports whenever and wherever they are needed," said Dana Book, Pencel's vice president of business development. "Integrating PrintBoy functionality with Kinectivity is another way application developers can help companies to fully automate their mobile workers."
