Abstract: A method of controlling usage of printer macros stored in a printer includes detecting a request for use of a first one of the printer macros by a print job. Printer identification information contained in the first printer macro is compared to a printer identifier stored in the printer. Usage of the first printer macro by the printer is controlled based on the comparison.

Abstract: A method of printing a print job includes separating a print job into subsections, and identifying a subsection access level for the subsections of the print job. A requesting party is also provided with an access level that is determined. In one embodiment, the requesting party's access level is placed in a print job by a print driver program of a requesting party. The subsection access level and the requesting party access level are compared, and the subsections of the print job that have a subsection access level meeting the requesting party access level are printed. A system for secure printing of a print job includes a processor, a storage device, a printer, and software operable on the processor to identify subsections of a print job, and identify a subsection access level for the subsections of the print job. The system includes media that includes instructions operable on a processor to identify subsections of a print job, and identify a subsection access level for the subsections of the print job.

Abstract: A method for sorting facsimiles includes identifying an originating phone number from which the facsimile originates, and routing the facsimile based on the identified originating phone number. The facsimile is routed to an E-mail location, to a storage medium or to a selected output slot on a facsimile device. In some embodiments, the method includes mapping the originating telephone number to facsimile destination or destinations. A facsimile device includes a processor, a memory, and a data reader adapted to identify an originating phone number from data associated with a ring signal. A system for sorting facsimiles includes a processor, a storage device, and software operable on the processor to identify an originating phone number from which the facsimile originates, and route the facsimile based on the identified originating phone number.
