Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing extensibility, e.g., on a network of multi-function devices are provided. The system includes an application catalog, in communication with an application database of a catalog server and configured to load applications therefrom. The system also includes a device manager configured to discover one or more devices on a network and to allow selection of one or more selected devices from among the one or more devices. The system further includes a data transfer system in communication with the one or more devices and to cause an application to be transmitted from the application catalog to the one or more selected devices, such that the one or more selected devices receive the application without communicating directly with the application database.

Abstract: Apparatus are provided that includes a multi-function device that is configured to perform a plurality of functions relating to manipulating a document. The multi-function device can have a display configured to display interface tool for facilitating the customization of a function of the multi-function device. The interface tools allow a user to communicate with the multi-function device to enter information relating to the customized function. The custom application can be configured to be installed on the multi-function device, and the custom application is used to customize the multi-function device.

Abstract: Embodiments herein provide/acquire a document in electronic form (e.g., by receiving, copying, retrieving from storage, scanning combined with optical character recognition, etc.) and receive user input regarding visual impairment. In response to one or more levels of user visual impairment, embodiments herein automatically change (for example, immediately after scanning text) an appearance of the document, without requiring any user input, other than the visual impairment input. More specifically, when changing the appearance of the document, embodiments herein can increase the size of characters in the document, change the contrast or coloring of the text and/or background, and provide text-to-speech conversion of the document, thereby (in one embodiment) producing audio output of the text-to-speech conversion in coordination with a corresponding portion of the document being displayed. When changing the appearance of the document, embodiments herein also reformat the document (e.g.

Abstract: Methods and systems for scanning and encrypting documents are disclosed. A document can be scanned utilizing a scanning device. The document can then be converted into image formatted data representative of the document. The image formatted data can then be encrypted at the scanning device utilizing an encryption key prior to transmitting the image formatted data to its final destination. The image formatted data can be decrypted utilizing an encryption key after the image formatted data is delivered to its final destination, which can be, for example, a rendering device such as a copier or printer linked to a computer network and/or a computer network client and/or a computer network storage device.
