Tokyo test
Bryan Ma, also from IDC, complimented the ingenuity, if not the practicality of the device.
"Sounds like something very unique to Japan.
"One might even argue that it seems more like technology for technology's sake."
Fuji Xerox - a joint venture between the two firms - has been testing the printer this month at a business lounge in Tokyo.
Each desk in the lounge is given a unique web address from which to print. Users access the address and upload documents to be printed.
Once the printer receives the job, it moves to the intended recipient who then has to display a smart card to activate printing.
The battery in the printer lasts for up to a day.
