    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides for a method of electronically capturing usage information from a non-networked imaging device. The method includes generating a printed status report, including the usage information, from the non-networked imaging device, and optically scanning the printed status report to thereby produced an electronic copy of the optically scanned printed status report. The method further includes optically recognizing, from the electronic copy of the optically scanned printed status report, the usage information contained therein. The optically recognized usage information is then converted into digital usage information, and the digital usage information is saved to a computer readable memory device.

    摘要: System and methods for printer suggested training using fuzzy logic analysis. A printer tracks printer usage relative to the features of the printer and the type of print jobs performed. Using a fuzzy logic protocol, the printer then selects an appropriate training package based upon the tracked usage. A message is then generated sent to a network administrator, or other user, suggesting the selected training package.

    摘要: A method for enabling a portable electronic device, such as a personal data assistant (PDA), cellular telephone, or notebook computer, to identify remote, external devices with which communication by at least one wireless transmission protocol over which the portable electronic device is capable of communicating may be established. The method includes selecting a type of wireless transmission protocol to be used, receiving signals from devices that are remote from the portable electronic device, and, based upon such signals identifying the remote, external devices that can communicate by the at least one wireless transmission protocol. A list of these devices may then be generated. One of the devices may be automatically selected or selected by the user of the portable electronic device from such a list.
