  • Publication number: 20230259877
    Abstract: A computer server receives office equipment rules of an organization. The office equipment rules include office equipment configuration settings. The computer server configures at least one office equipment application that satisfies the office equipment rules. The computer server supplies the office equipment application to at least one computerized device of at least one user associated with the organization. In return, the computer server receives an equipment/supplies order from the office equipment application. In response, the computer server generates order instructions. The order instructions include a list of equipment/supplies and the office equipment configuration settings for components on the list of equipment/supplies. The order instructions are generated to comply with the office equipment rules. Then, the computer server transmits the order instructions to a delivery and setup agent who delivers, configures, and sets up the equipment/supplies according to the order instructions.

  • Patent number: 11652929
    Abstract: Methods and systems for printing on a print device from both authorized users and guest users are disclosed. The methods include configuring the print device to execute document processing jobs from both authorized users and guest users based on a rule set. The method also includes receiving a request to initiate a document processing session on the print device, initiating the kiosk mode session for executing paid document processing jobs by outputting a kiosk mode user interface that is configured to allow the guest user to submit requests for paid document processing jobs, receiving a request for executing a document processing job via the kiosk mode user interface, causing the print device to execute the document processing job, and causing a payment processing service associated with the guest user to render payment for executing the document processing job.

  • Patent number: 11223732
    Abstract: An app maintains different multi-modal output signatures. Each multi-modal output signature contains instructions for transducer output with speaker output and/or display output. Also, each multi-modal output signature is unique and different from all other multi-modal output signatures. Further, each different multi-modal output signature corresponds to only one of many possible alerts that may be generated by a printer. The app is adapted to control the printer user interface system and/or a portable device user interface system, to output these multi-modal output signatures in coordination.
