  • Patent number: 6117079
    Abstract: A computerized imager is programmed with software that allows properly formatted image frames (objects) to be sent to one or more remotely located devices selected from a list of configured devices. For each job selected for transfer to a remote device, an element is added to a linked list which forms a virtual queue, each element incorporating a respective pointer (i.e., the file name) identifying each stored image to be included in that particular job. Each element identifies the image frames included in the job and the destination remote device for that job. Elements for failed jobs are transferred to a Holding Queue. An interactive display menu enables the operator to easily redirect the failed jobs to a secondary remote device by clicking on the menu.
