20100149585 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REGISTRATION DEVICE LOCATION - A method of connecting an image forming apparatus (IFA) to a network and assigning the IFA a network address, selecting a map file image from a plurality of map file images, the selected map file image corresponding to a regional location of the IFA, outputting the selected map file image, selecting a location on the map file image which corresponds to a physical location of the IFA, and storing the location and the network address. An IFA configured to implement the method. | 06-17-2010 |
20100186063 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SETTING SECURITY CONFIGURATION TO A DEVICE - A method of accessing an image forming apparatus (IFA) or a multifunction printer (MFP) using a management device (MD) via a network, transmitting security information from the MD to the IFA, updating an original security configuration of the IFA with a new security configuration using the security information, using the new security configuration by the IFA, and confirming the new security configuration with the MD. After confirming, it is preferable the security information is deleted. Also, an IFA including a confirmation unit and a write protection unit for use with the method. | 07-22-2010 |
20100223340 | SYSTEM FOR REMOTELY SCANNING A DOCUMENT - A method and system for acquiring an image and transmitting the image from an image processing apparatus to a computing device. The method includes executing an application program by the computing device; indicating, using the application program, that an image is to be acquired using the application program; transmitting an XML message from the computing device to the image processing apparatus over a computer network using HTTP, the XML message indicating that the image is to be acquired; receiving the XML message by a web service application executing on the image processing apparatus; translating the XML message into at least one command compatible with a scanning application of the image processing apparatus; acquiring the image by the scanning application of the image processing apparatus using the at least one command; transmitting the image over the computer network from the image processing apparatus to the computing device; and storing the image on a storage medium of the computing device. | 09-02-2010 |
20110211218 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PRINTING A SCHEDULED PRINT JOB - A method and apparatus for outputting a scheduled print job by a printing device connected to a client device over a network. The method includes transmitting, by the client device, a request to print the scheduled print job to the printing device. The scheduled print job include print data and schedule data corresponding to a scheduled time the print data is to be printed. The printing device stores the received scheduled print job in memory, and executes the scheduled print job at the scheduled time. A determination is made as to whether the scheduled print job was outputted successfully at the scheduled time. Further, a message indicating whether the scheduled print job was outputted successfully, based on the determination, is sent to a predetermined device. | 09-01-2011 |
20110255111 | Virtual Print Job Preview And Validation - Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for previewing and submitting print jobs. | 10-20-2011 |
20110261391 | Printer Data Collection Cable - Apparatuses, systems and methods are provided for managing and exchanging printer data. | 10-27-2011 |
20120215650 | ARCHIVING SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR TRANSACTION RECORDS - Systems and algorithmic processes directed to a user system, a provider system and a storage system. The provider system receives, from the user system, a request for a transaction to be performed by the provider system. The requested transaction includes a purchase of goods or a conduction of services between a user of the user system and a provider of the provider system. Upon completion of the request, the provider system transmits a record of the transaction to the storage system. The storage system is independent of the user system and the provider system. The record includes details of the transaction including the goods purchased or services conducted between the user and the provider. | 08-23-2012 |
20120224217 | DEVICE AGENT FOR DISTRIBUTED PROCESSING AND PRINTING - Systems and algorithmic processes directed to first and second image processing devices connected to a network for distributed processing/printing. The first device receives a print job from a user device, and divides the print job into a plurality of portions of the print job which require image processing prior to printing. These portions are then transmitted to a number of the second devices which are compatible with distributed processing/printing and which are in an idle status mode. The second devices process the portions by, for example, rasterizing the portions, and then transmit the rasterized portions back to the first device. The first device assembles the rasterized portions into an assembled print job which is ready for printing. The first device prints the assembled print job or transmits the assembled print job to another networked device for printing, facsimile transmission, email transmission or storage. | 09-06-2012 |
20130063774 | Method And Device For Printing A Scheduled Print Job - A method and apparatus for printing a scheduled print job by a printing device connected to a client device over a network. The method includes transmitting, by the client device, a request to print the scheduled print job to the printing device. The scheduled print job include print data and schedule data corresponding to a scheduled time the print data is to be printed. The printing device obtains the print job from cloud storage or from local storage depending on a storage selection indicator, and executes the scheduled print job at the scheduled time. A determination is made as to whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully at the scheduled time. Further, a message indicating whether the scheduled print job was printed successfully, based on the determination, is sent to a predetermined device. | 03-14-2013 |
