摘要： A printing system includes a processor to execute a main control program for the printing system, and at least one memory device to store computer code to be executed by the processor. The printing system further includes a network device to receive network print jobs, and a wake circuit to cause the printing system to enter a deep suspend mode in which the printing system consumes less than about 1W of power, and to cause the printing system to wake from the deep suspend mode in response to a set of wake events.

摘要： A printer including a memory configured to store executable code; a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute executable code; a print mechanism coupled to the processor and configured to print an image in response to execution of executable code; a memory receptacle configured to removably receive a plug-in memory; and a memory controller configured to selectively write executable code onto a plug-in memory received by the memory receptacle. A method of operating an electronic device having a ROM including locations storing executable code, the locations having addresses, the electronic device further having a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute executable code in locations at provided addresses, and a memory receptacle configured to receive an expansion memory unit including RAM having locations, the locations having addresses, the method comprising providing memory addresses to the processor, the memory addresses being for locations in the ROM; using the processor, executing executable code in locations at the addresses provided by the memory controller; determining if a user desires to use an expansion memory unit for data storage or for storing executable code; and copying executable program code from the ROM onto RAM in an expansion memory and switching from providing address locations in the ROM to address locations in the RAM, while the processor is executing executable code, if it is determined that a user desired to use an expansion memory unit for storing executable code.

摘要： In an imaging system including firmware and a user interface control panel, a firmware-based internal page component is capable of receiving and registering internal page data from a source external to the page component itself. The internal page component can install a control panel display menu item corresponding to the registered internal page, and then capture user control panel input relating to that page. The component can then open a data pipe, and invoke the internal page data. The data pipe can be provided in the form of a VIO channel, e.g., invoking a print job, or can involve converting internal page data to a format capable of being viewed by a web browser. The internal page component can be installed as a part of the firmware of the imaging system. Internal page data can be received from a source external to the imaging system firmware, for example, from a storage device such as a flash disk, RAM disk, or hard disk. The internal page component can be embodied as a firmware-based dynamic internal page system. The internal page system includes an internal page registration mechanism adapted and constructed to register internal pages from page sources external to the firmware of the imaging system. The internal page system also includes an internal page retrieval mechanism adapted and constructed to selectively retrieve internal pages from the page sources. A method of handling internal pages in an imaging system including firmware is also provided.
