Abstract: A system for performing multifunction device session management includes a multifunction device and a computer-readable storage medium that includes one or more programming instructions. The one or more programming instructions cause the multifunction device to detect by one or more sensors of the multifunction device an indication that a session is to be initiated, in response to detecting the indication that the session is to be initiated, initiate the session, retrieve a device policy associated with the multifunction device from a data store associated with the multifunction device, identify a condition from the device policy, monitor for the occurrence of one or more triggers during the session, wherein each trigger is associated with the identified condition in the device policy, and in response to detecting that one or more of the triggers have occurred at the multifunction device, perform one or more actions pertaining to completion of the session.

Abstract: An exemplary apparatus includes a processor, a printing device, a user interface, and an input/output device. The printing device is in communication with the processor. The user interface is in communication with the processor. The input/output device is in communication with the processor and with a computerized network external to the apparatus. The processor is adapted to maintain a general lexicon of mask words. The processor is adapted to provide, through the user interface and the computerized network, options to change the mask words in the general lexicon to create a local lexicon. The processor is adapted to redact the mask words in the local lexicon from at least one of: printed items; items displayed on the user interface; and items provided to the computerized network through the input/output device.

Abstract: A menu of processing options of a publicly shared machine is presented on a user interface of a remote computerized device using an application (app). The publicly shared machine can include a printing component, a scanning component, a non-contact user identification component, etc. The app creates a job from options selected from the menu. The job is transmitted from the app to the publicly shared machine. The publicly shared machine notifies the app of availability to perform the job. In turn, the app provides a notice on the user interface of the remote computerized device that the publicly shared machine is available to perform the job. These methods further identify the user present at the publicly shared machine using the non-contact user identification component, allowing the publicly shared machine to perform the job based on the non-contact user identification, without requiring additional user interaction with the publicly shared machine.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of processing location and level changes for managed devices, which includes a child device sensing a move to a new location and level in a tree structure including levels having different permissions and policies, and the child device receiving permissions and policies for the new location and level via a master clone file. Also described is a method of updating policies in a device in a fleet of image forming devices that includes identifying a setting in the device that should not be updated automatically, setting a respective flag associated with the identified setting, thereby indicating that the setting is not to be updated automatically, receiving a file with updated policy values, and updating settings of the device according to the updated policy values except for the identified setting. Also described is a method for processing exemption requests in a fleet of image forming devices.

Abstract: An automatic tab displaying and maximum tab storing UI assembly for use on a digital imaging machine includes a display device having (i) a selectable screens each having a different user interactive information sets and a screen selection tab having a visible outline, a first surface size, and tab identification markings; (ii) a first display area for displaying at least one screen of the selectable screens; and (iii) at least a second display area for containing all the selection tabs of the selectable screens.

Abstract: A color printer control system comprising a user interface for shifting color hue. A control panel display includes an illustrative representation such as a color spectrum bar for suggesting a color range for both the input document and the output document. The user interface has a selective control such as a slide bar including an indicator of a user preference relative to the color reference bar. The position of the slide bar represents the hue shift input by the user. A dynamic image representation, such as a photograph, concurrently adjusts its hue in accordance with adjustment of the color slide bar and the user command. The dynamic image shifts color hue to provide a more accurate indication of the effects of hue shift to the user.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for an image forming system enabling an intelligent repeat image feature is disclosed. The intelligent repeat image feature enables a user to submit an image, scanned or otherwise, and manipulate that image to result in an output image containing repeated enlarged/reduced copies of the original image on a single printing medium.

Abstract: A low cost, high-speed device for rotating a variable thickness substrate stacks in a short distance, and with neatness and precision. The substrate stack rotating device includes a lower rotating disk and an upper rotating disk that are located in a substrate path to receive a moving substrate stack. The upper disk is driven downward such that a substrate stack is pinched between the lower and upper rotating disks. The resultant clamping force helps maintain substrate stack integrity and neatness. Once a substrate stack is clamped, one of the disks is rotated, bring the substrate stack into a desired orientation. The upper rotating disk is then released, the substrate stack beneficially moves away from the disks, and the substrate stack rotating device is ready to accept another substrate stack.

Abstract: A tandem electrostatographic reproduction machine including a Tandem Automatic Document Handler (TADH) for programmed ahead handling of first and second hard copy jobs in tandem.

The first RADF assembly has a first RADF tray and a first document path for recirculatingly moving sheets of documents seriatim from the first RADF tray over the platen, and back into the first RADF tray. More importantly, the TADH includes a second Recirculating Automatic Document Feeder (RADF) assembly mounted within the housing and in alignment with the first RADF assembly. The second RADF assembly includes a second RADF tray and a second document path for recirculatingly feeding sheets of documents seriatim from the second RADF tray over the platen, and back into the second RADF tray.
