摘要： An electronic network transaction recording system for accumulating billing data for printing machines interconnected to multiple work stations on the network. A network administrator includes a memory for storing data representing usage of selected printers and a decoder for validating a print job request and a billing account number. Requests for print jobs are verified and billed to an individual or group billing account number.

摘要： A plurality of multifunction devices each having a facsimile function are connected together in a networking arrangement. Upon receipt of a job requiring a facsimile function, such a device initially checks its queues to determine whether there are any current facsimile jobs in the queues which would delay the transmission of the just-received job. If there are none, the job is transmitted in accordance with the device job priority control arrangement. If prior facsimile jobs are present in the queue, the device checks, via its network connection, other networked devices having facsimile capability from a preprogrammed list thereof, to determine whether any of the devices are not busy. In such a case, the job, with facsimile control instruction and data, is transferred to the non-busy facsimile for transmission.

摘要： A method and apparatus for notifying a user of an attempted secure print job release from an image production device is disclosed. The method may include receiving a secure print job and secure print job instructions from a user, wherein the secure print job instructions include at least a pass code and the user's contact information, determining if a pass code has been entered for the user's secure print job, wherein if it is determined that a pass code has been entered for the user's secure print job, determining if the entered pass code is correct, wherein if it is determined that the entered pass code is correct, sending a signal to print the secure print job and notifying the user in accordance with the user's contact information that the secure print job has been printed, otherwise, notifying the user in accordance with the user's contact information that an unauthorized user attempted to print the secure print job.
