Abstract: An automatic transmitting system for use in a networked printing system including a first client, second client and server. The automatic transmitting system includes an agent, operatively associated with the server, for maintaining information regarding a plurality of subsystems associated with a printing machine--the agent communicates with both the first and second clients. The automatic transmitting system further includes a registration system, including the first client, the second client and the agent, for registering the information. The information includes a first identifier and a second identifier, the first and second identifiers being stored with the agent and corresponded with first and second sets of information, respectively.

Abstract: An approach suited for use with an arrangement including an image processing apparatus and a server, with the server being disposed remotely of the image processing apparatus, is provided. In practice, a user accesses the remotely disposed server from the image processing apparatus by entering an appropriate personal identification number and selecting a job ticket from a directory listing the job tickets resident at the server. One of the job tickets is then selected and transmitted across the network from the server to the image processing apparatus. A job is then programmed at the image processing apparatus with the selected job ticket.
