  • Publication number: 20200042256
    Abstract: A system and method provides for monitoring of popular multifunction peripheral instruction sequences for generation and installation of custom applications. The MFP has a user interface, including a display, and receives a sequence of document processing instruction sequences from one or more users. The processor generates log data corresponding to a logging of each received document processing instruction sequence. The processor sends generated log data to an associated server via a network interface. The network interface receives an application generated by the associated server in accordance with generated log data via the network interface. The processor then installs a received application on the multifunction peripheral along with control indicia on the display. The processor performs a sequence of document processing instructions specified by the received application upon a user selection of the control indicia.

  • Publication number: 20190058808
    Abstract: A system and method for multifunction peripheral cloning includes a device controller with a processor and associated memory and a network interface. Device configuration data is stored on the device for configuring device components such as a scan engine and a print engine. A controller processor of a multifunction peripheral designated as a leader device generates a master clone file from a copy of its device configuration data and communicates it to at least one networked multifunction peripheral via the network interface via a push to targeted devices or responsive to a request for a copy of the master clone file from follower devices.
