摘要:
This invention relates to a Web-based imaging system that provides print job time estimates. Such systems of this type, generally, tell the user, prior to printing, how long it will take the target printer to print the print job, as expected.
摘要:
Specialized encoded media are detected when inserted into the multipurpose paper input tray of the printer. Each specialized media is displayed in a list of available media provided by the web-based imaging service. Graphics representing each of the specialized media are downloaded e.g., from a site on the Internet accessed through information encoded on the specialized media, and are displayed to provide a preview of the user's image data superimposed in register on an image of the specialized media. In a variation, the multipurpose tray includes an integral bar code scanner that automatically identifies the specialized media. Among other variations, the multipurpose tray uses the motion of insertion to scan the specialized media, and inks “visible” only through infrared scanning mechanisms are encoded on the media.
摘要:
The method of the present invention is capable of providing distributed imaging capability to a user of a multi-function peripheral. Document creation, manipulation, editing, and output are provided by the present invention. Document design and image data are associated with the originating user. Generic access instructions cause associated document data to be retrieved or stored in accordance with the present invention. A multi-function peripheral is used to obtain and store at least a portion of image data. Multiple documents and output devices may be employed to accomplish the requesting user's needs. Further, interactive graphical printing configuration and monitoring may be utilized.
摘要:
A method, system and program product for printer processing comprising the steps of: receiving a print designation to print a document; constructing an ordering of graphics; selecting a graphic to send to a printer; getting graphic data for the selected graphic; and sending the graphic data for printer processing.
摘要:
In a web-based imaging environment, a user accesses a destination service (e.g., representing a printer), which retrieves user's imaging data and configures available production options for a processing job. The user selects desired production options, after which the destination service estimates the time duration required to process the user's job based on the selected options. The user selects an option indicating whether subsequent copies of a current job can be interrupted. If so, a subsequent user can interrupt either manually or via the destination service, delivering a status message to the first user. The interrupted job is stored and is resumed intact after the interrupting job has processed. Subsequent output copies can be delivered into the original output tray, or can be separated in other ways. In some embodiments, if the currently processing job includes multiple output copies, then it is allowed to complete the current copy before being interrupted.

In a web-based imaging environment, a user selects the duplex printing option and elects to print. A destination service representing a printer then retrieves in order and prints the first sides of the user's image data, then issues a request to reload the copies. The destination service displays in the user's browser instructions specific to the selected printer for manually reloading the copies in a proper orientation for second side printing using the selected printer. After reloading, the user indicates that the pages have been reloaded, and the second sides of user's image data are retrieved in order and printed onto the non-printed surfaces opposite the first sides. In some variations, the printer provides status displays that first (second) sides are printing and/or indicates when the job is complete. Embodiments provide means of performing manual duplex printing by interacting with a printer through platform independent web-based imaging.
摘要:
A printing system that includes a personal computer and a printer having multiple output trays. The printer operates both as a server and a printer. The printer serves a program to the personal computer upon request. The program enables the personal computer to print a document using the printer. The program also enables the personal computer to display an image of the printer while the printer is printing the document. The image indicates the printer output tray receiving the document. The image further indicates the present capacity of the output tray to receive additional media.
摘要:
A system and method for transferring scanned imaging data from a scanning device to a personal imaging repository. The present invention includes a scanning device capable of reading information encoded items, such as smart cards for scanning imaging data, a personal imaging repository associated with a particular user for storing imaging data that is to be accessed by requested web services, an item for storing user information relating to the personal imaging repository, and a device firmware for storing scanned imaging data from the scanning device into the personal imaging repository, which is an exchange infrastructure between the imaging data and available web services on the Internet.
摘要:
A distributed imaging capability to a user of a client device using data partially obtained from an enterprise resource planning system. Document creation, manipulation, editing, and output is provided by and associated with the originating user. Generic access instructions cause associated document data to be retrieved or stored. Multiple documents and output devices may be employed to accomplish distributed imaging functionality. Interactive graphical printing configuration and monitoring can be utilized.
摘要:
A client configurable web based imaging page redirector method, system and program product, comprising the steps of: storing a redirector reference to redirector software; obtaining content to be processed and accessing the redirector reference and directing a browser to the redirector software; and determining via redirector software at least one destination reference to a desired web page destination or web based imaging service.
