  • Making language localization and telecommunications settings in a multi-function device through image scanning
    Patent number: 6669085
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to determining and setting an appropriate localized language (and telecommunications settings when appropriate) on a multi-function device that includes a scanner and a printer. Rather than configuring the language setting for such multi-function devices during manufacturing, the language setting can be configured by the end user after a device is delivered. Advantages of the disclosed system and methods include a decreased variation in the types of devices being manufactured and an associated reduction in inventory tracking and storage costs.
