摘要:
A mixed-size copy printer system and method may include a scanner for collecting raw image data from and detecting a length of an original page from among a plurality of original pages of different lengths, a printer for printing an image scanned from an original page on a copy page, a controller including a plurality of stored print instructions and a RAM buffer, and an image processing unit, whereby the image processing unit may be configured to receive from the scanner the raw image data from the data indicative of a length of an original page scanned by the scanner, store the image data in the RAM buffer while the controller selects a print instruction from among the stored print instructions in response to the data indicative of the length of the original page scanned by the scanner, and the image processing unit sends the image data and the controller sends selected print instruction to the printer. The printer may also include width detection capability that enables the image processing unit to detect a variety of paper sizes of potentially different widths and lengths as well as distinguish between pages of the same size fed into the printer system's scanner in different orientations.
摘要:
A method for managing a multi-function device includes storing a plurality of workflow objects, where all workflow objects include a substantially similar data structure, and where each workflow object includes information identifying its function. The workflow objects are executed to implement operations of the multi-function device, and the functions of at least two of the plurality of workflow objects utilize a different operation of the multi-function device.

A method of executing a scan job includes scanning a first document, in response to a first user request, to generate a first portion of a scan job, and scanning a second document, in response to a second user request, to generate a second portion of the scan job. The method further includes automatically forming an output document corresponding to the scan job, where the output document includes a combination of the first portion and second portion.
摘要:
A method of using a printer, includes the steps of: transmitting an email over a network; and generating a transmission report at a printer, the transmission report including an indication of success or failure of the email transmission.
摘要:
A method for communicating a status report from a print device having a modem to a user's telephone device including storing a message in a storage medium associated with the print device and, upon the occurrence of an event, sending the message from the print device to the user's telephone device using the modem.
摘要:
A searchable help system for a multi-function peripheral (MFP) adapted for receiving one or more search keywords from any display screen of a man-machine interface is provided. Upon receipt of one or more keywords, the help system searches all help content files for all matches. The search results are displayed to the user by section topic or header and the associated help content file, wherein each result indicates that the corresponding textual help contend contains one more of the search key words.
摘要:
A method for monitoring a job across a network of print devices is provided. The method includes the steps of dividing the job into at least a first child job and a second child job, communicating the first child job to a first one of the print devices, the first one of the print devices being adapted to process the first child job, and communicating the second child job to a second one of the print devices, the second one of the print devices being adapted to process the second child job, wherein the first print device generates a status report based at least upon the first child job.
摘要:
A method for automatically implementing multi-function device settings includes storing at least one workflow object, where the at least one workflow object is associated with at least one function of a multi-function device, and at least one device setting. After a request to execute the at least one workflow object is received at the multi-function device, the at least one workflow object is executed using the at least one device setting, even if the at least one device setting is different than a default device setting.
摘要:
A method of producing an electronic document from a multi-function printing device. The method includes the acts of creating an electronic document, configuring the device with a list of destinations including at least one domain name, formatting the electronic document to be delivered via an electronic mail message, addressing the electronic mail message with an address including a domain and determining if the domain name in the address matches the domain name included in the list of destinations.
摘要:
A document processing device configured to communicate with a first device and a user input device. The document processing device includes a controller having memory. The controller is operable to receive a first communication from the first device. The first communication includes a job to be processed by the printing device and a first shortcut access code associated with the job. The first shortcut access code is stored in the memory of the controller. The controller is also operable to receive a second communication from the user input device. The second communication includes a second shortcut access code. The controller holds the job to be processed until the controller receives the second communication and verifies the second shortcut access code matches the first shortcut access code.
