Abstract:
Memory integrated into a removable cartridge for an image forming device contains image enhancement data identifying an image enhancement technique. In a method embodiment, the data is read, and the image enhancement technique identified by the image enhancement data is implemented. In another embodiment, the image enhancement data includes a parameter. The image enhancement data is read, and an image enhancement technique is implemented according to the parameter.
Abstract:
A status notification method includes providing a forwarding manager for a status notification. The forwarding manager enables the status notification to be directed to a second target. Following a presentation of the status notification with respect to a first target, the status notification is directed to a second target as at least an indirect result of a utilization of the forwarding manager.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing a first network resource with secure but limited access to a second network resource. A method embodying the invention includes receiving, from a client, a request to access the first resource. The client is then directed to an authorization service. The authorization service generates an authorization ticket and provides the authorization ticket to the first resource. On behalf of the first resource, the authorization ticket is presented to the second resource with a request to access the second resource. The request is granted only if it can be verified that the authorization ticket was generated by a source trusted by the second resource.
Abstract:
A server system and a printing device are described. The server system can obtain environmental data that describes at least one environmental condition. The server system can transmit first data to the printing device. The first data is based upon the environmental data.

Abstract:
A printing device can transmit a remote procedure call message to invoke a network device. The RPC message includes data read from a memory that is an integrated part of a replacement component.
Abstract:
A consumable resource option control unit includes a consumable resource and an option key coupled to the consumable resource. The option key is configured to enable an optional mode of operation for an image-forming device and to cause a display associated with an image-forming device to indicate availability of the mode of operation.
Abstract:
A consumable resource access control unit includes a consumable resource and an authorization interface coupled to the consumable resource. The interface is configured to limit use of the resource.
Abstract:
A device has a consumable device component. A supply status indicator indicates a status of the consumable device component to at least one of a first host computer and the device. The supply status indicator includes a suppressed state.
