Anyone who remembers me might recall my early critique of
the Modis Ultra when it came out (and I bought one). I
thought it was perfect except for the lack of printing
capabilities. Specifically, the inability to print to a
network pc or even use my 3 Seiko IR printers that I loved
to use with the "old" Modis. Today I read in the weekly
sales flyer that in 14.4, the Ultra will now be able to use
Wi-fi (I did confirm this with tech support) to go online
and use Suretrack. Great! Now, call me ungrateful, but I
also just confirmed that although it can go online and visit
Suretrack, a tool I already have on my nearby laptop, it
can't jump on the network and print to the network pc! Are
you kidding me? The Ultra had wi-fi all along? Yet, it
"isn't capable" of printing a "codes list" like the old
Modis did at one point (via air card and PC link) to the
network printer!? My daughter's Nintendo DS can do that! You
were so close! So close to a "10".....
We need a quick and easy way to print with this Ultra! A way that doesn't
involve "save page" over and over (and without and way to
i.d. the saved data), and hooking up a usb cable, or wasting
the time and ink printing black background pages of saves to
produce a simple codes list....or list of monitors status
etc. Now that I have almost come to accept the flaws of the
new Ultra I find out there is still hope.....Please, please,
use the wi-fi and figure out a way to allow printing a
SIMPLE LIST to a network pc using the wi-fi. Please, allow
me to feel satisfied that Snap-On has truly created the
greatest multi-vehicle scan tool that is indeed better than
the original Modis in every way (I can deal with the 2 channel scope).
