Abstract:
Methods and systems establish dynamic profiles for each of many document processing devices, based on current device connection specifications, current device drivers, current device capabilities, and current device workflow functions using a centralized connection device. These methods and systems provide device menu options from the centralized connection device to graphic user interfaces of the document processing devices. The device menu options provided from the centralized connection device displays the graphic user interfaces for the control of the document processing devices with the currently available workflows (that will be processed using a corresponding device and at least one other device of the document processing devices) and currently available management functions for the corresponding device and the other device(s) of the document processing devices. The “corresponding” device corresponds to the specific one of the graphic user interfaces receiving input to the device menu options.
