  • System and Methods of Managing Incoming Facsimile Messages in a Networked System
    Publication number: 20190208085
    Abstract: A system and methods of managing incoming fax messages at a multi-function imaging device connected to a network are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a fax message at the multi-function imaging device and identifying an intended recipient of the fax message. It is then determined if the intended recipient of the fax message is a registered user of the network. Upon a positive determination, the fax message is automatically added to an imaging queue associated with the intended recipient of the fax message.

  • System and Methods of Managing Incoming Facsimile Messages in a Networked System
    Publication number: 20190205074
    Abstract: A system and methods of managing incoming fax messages at a multi-function imaging device connected to a network are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a fax message at the multi-function imaging device and identifying a workflow connected to the network based upon a content of the fax message. A type of the fax message may be identified based upon the content of the fax message and may be used to identify the workflow. A recipient of the fax message is then determined based upon the identified workflow. Upon identification of the recipient of the fax message, the imaging device adds the fax message to an imaging queue associated with the recipient in a print server communicatively connected to the imaging device.

  • Systems and methods for use of profiles in multifunction devices
    Patent number: 7301659
    Abstract: A system and method for the selection and execution of a profile. The system and method comprise a data store capable of storing profiles, a user console allowing interaction between a user and a multifunction device, a communication interface adapted to allow communication via at least one communication channel and a processor in communication with the communication interface, the data store and the user console. The processor receives a profile from a profile source via the communication interface, stores the received profile in the data store, receives an indicator corresponding to a selected profile and executes the selected profile to perform an operation of the multifunction device.
