Abstract: The disclosure discloses methods and systems for assisting users via interactive voice-based job-related instructions. The method includes receiving a job from a user. A call is received from a mobile device of the user. A call connection is established between the mobile device and a multi-function device. It is then checked whether the mobile device is a registered mobile device. After checking, the job corresponding to the user is identified. An interactive voice response (IVR) unit is automatically activated over the established call. Then, one or more initial voice-based instructions are transmitted to the mobile device of the user. An input key is submitted through the mobile device based on at least one initial voice-based instruction. Based on the input key, further one or more voice-based instructions are transmitted to the mobile device of the user, the further one or more voice-based instructions provide information about the print job.

Abstract: An aqueous ink printer includes a moisture applicator that applies moisture to a side of a substrate that is opposite a side that bears or will bear an ink image. The moisture applicator includes a switching network that is configured to independently and selectively bias the tile segments electrically. The tile segments contiguously cover a surface of the roller. As the switching network is operated to electrically bias the tile segments using data corresponding to the ink image, they transition from being hydrophobic to hydrophilic so the electrically-biased hydrophilic tile segments attract moisture from water in a trough or from water vapor produced by an ultrasonic transducer in the trough. The moisture is carried by the electrically-biased tile segments to the substrate at areas where the amount of ink in a portion of the substrate on the other side of the substrate exceeds a predetermined ink coverage threshold.
