Abstract: Format processing systems for converting the format of a document are disclosed. In this regard, a representative document processing system includes a file conversion system configured to receive information corresponding to a first document as well as receive information corresponding to a second format to which the information corresponding to the first document is to be converted. Additionally, the file conversion system is configured to retrieve information corresponding to a set of format rules, the set of format rules corresponding to the second format. The file conversion system converts the information corresponding to the first document to image data having at least one object group. Thereafter, the file conversion system converts the image data to converted data representative of the first document and exhibiting the second format. Methods and other systems also are provided.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for managing remote transmission destinations for a fax/scan device connected—directly or indirectly—to a network. When a fax/scan device is set to a “Receive Fax to PC” or “Scan-To PC” mode, a master host identifier that uniquely identifies a master host on the network is stored at the master host and at the fax/scan device. If another network computer attempts to supercede an existing master host for the fax/scan device, it is prevented from doing so because of the presence of the master host identifier in the fax/scan device. When the “Receive Fax to PC” or “Scan-To PC” mode is cleared, the master host identifier is also cleared. Only then may a network computer configure itself as a master host for the fax/scan device.

Abstract: Image processing systems for converting image data corresponding to a document, where the image data exhibits a first format, are disclosed. In this regard, a representative image processing system includes a file conversion system configured to receive information corresponding to the image data as well as information corresponding to a second format to which the image data is to be converted. Additionally, the file conversion system is configured to retrieve information corresponding to a set of format rules, where the set of format rules corresponds to the second format. Thereafter, the file conversion system converts the image data to converted data representative of image data and exhibiting the second format without rescanning, reanalyzing, or reprocessing the document. Methods and other systems also are provided.

Abstract: An implementation of a technology is described herein for facilitating the direction of push scanning from an input peripheral to one or more destinations of multiple of such possible destinations. With this technology, a user of a scanner quickly and easily performs a “push scan” to a primary target computer of one of multiple targets connected to the scanner (directly or via a network). The user selects a primary target (e.g., a computer) of one of multiple targets connected thereto (directly or via a network) and a secondary target (e.g., a file, an application, an email, a fax, etc.) associated with that primary target. Once selected, the user scans a document at the scanner. The scanner notifies the primary target of the scan request and that it is the intended destination. The primary target initiates and controls the scan. When it receives the scanned data, it directs it to the secondary target. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent.

Abstract: An imaging system includes a destination selection control to select a destination for scan data generated from an image. A software or firmware component determines a scan resolution for the scan data corresponding to a data type associated with the selected destination, and an imaging device, such as an automatic document feed scanning device, or an imaging unit in an imaging device, generates the scan data with the scan resolution. The imaging system can also include a resolution selection control to select a destination resolution. The software or firmware component determines a scan resolution that is different than the destination resolution, and generates the scan data with the different scan resolution.
