    摘要: There is provides an image forming apparatus including a main body control apparatus including a main body memory, a main body cassette, and additional cassettes different from the main body cassette and communicably coupled to the main body control apparatus. The main body memory has transmission queues that are provided for the respective additional cassettes communicably coupled to the main body control apparatus and temporarily store commands to be transmitted to the additional cassettes. When a plurality of commands are stored in each of the transmission queues, the main body control apparatus carries out for each of the transmission queues the process of generating a first combined command that is the combination of the plurality of commands stored in the transmission queue, and transmitting the first combined command to the additional cassette.

    摘要: A document management system includes a document gateway disposed between a document provider and a printer. When the document gateway receives a print-ready document from the document provider, the document gateway determines whether to cause the document to be uploaded to a cloud-based document repository or to be printed to yield a hardcopy document. This determination is made based on an indication from a document consumer and using a consumer device such as a smartphone or customer card, that the document consumer wishes a digital copy of the document. If the document is uploaded, the consumer benefits from having documents uploaded to a centralized repository, while the vendor benefits from obtaining consumer profile information at negligible acquisition cost. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
