  • Publication number: 20220198231
    Abstract: A business method includes imaging documents with an imaging device placed at a location. The imaging device receives imaging requests from users upon payment. Unique lighting schemes notify users of their imaging requests. Payment is split between an entity owning or renting the imaging device and an entity where the imaging device is located. Over a cellular network, toner usage is monitored in the imaging device. Upon the toner level reaching a predetermined low, the entire imaging device is collected from the location and swapped with another imaging device having a toner lever above the low. Workers in the “gig” economy are expected to collect and swap the devices. No longer do users change or swap empty toner cartridges with full or fresh toner cartridges. Similarly, media usage in the imaging device is monitored over the cellular network for replacement of media. Other embodiments are envisioned.
