FMX for iPad: Sharing & Printing Overview
FMX for iPad supports the same online sharing options as FMX for Windows — email, SMS, and online gallery — using Foto Master Cloud as the backend. Printing works differently: the iPad cannot print directly, so FMPrint on a separate Windows laptop handles all print jobs over Wi-Fi.
Online Sharing
All sharing is configured in FMX and uses Foto Master Cloud to deliver photos to guests.
Send a photo directly to a guest's email address at the end of a session.

Online Gallery
Photos sync to a guest-facing gallery on Foto Master Cloud. Guests access it via the link or QR code from their email or SMS.
Social Media
Offline Gallery
Photos taken during an event without internet access are stored locally and can be shared later.
Printing with FMPrint
The iPad cannot send print jobs directly via USB. Instead, FMX for iPad sends print requests over Wi-Fi to FMPrint — a lightweight Windows app running on a separate laptop connected to the printer.
Setup requirement: The iPad running FMX and the laptop running FMPrint must be on the same Wi-Fi network during events.
