Patent number: 10073664Abstract: A system for providing print device dynamic status indicator feedback includes a print device, and a status indicator feedback unit. The print device includes a print engine and one or more status monitors. The status indicator feedback unit includes a display device, a light emitting module, a processor in communication with the light emitting module, and a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions. The system may receive information corresponding to one or more current machine states of the print device from the one or more status monitors of the print device, determine a priority level associated with each of the one or more current machine states, identify a machine state associated with a highest priority level, identify a dynamic feedback pattern associated with the identified machine state. The dynamic feedback pattern includes a visual pattern. The system may and instruct the light emitting module to emit the visual pattern.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Stephen F. Skrainar, Andrew T. Martin, Donald A. Brown, Keith L. Willis, Ken Hayward, Brandon S. McComber, Shinichi Maekawa, Mitsuharu Ito, Shinya Kogoh, Masaaki Takenouchi

Patent number: 9774749Abstract: A multifunction device (MFD) includes a print engine, power status monitors, and a user interface. The user interface is at least partially surrounded by a perimeter, and a first light emitting module is positioned to illuminate at least part of the perimeter. The MFD also includes a processor in communication with the first light emitting module and a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions. An MFD may detect a triggering event corresponding to a change in its power status. In response to detecting the triggering event, the MFD may receive information relating to a current power status of the MFD from the power status monitors, identify a dynamic feedback pattern associated with the triggering event, and instruct the first light emitting module to emit a first visual pattern. The dynamic feedback pattern includes the first visual pattern that provides information about the current power status of the MFD to a user.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2016Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Stephen F.

Patent number: 8125451Abstract: A display section of an operation panel is raised relative to a horizontal plane. If the display section consists of a liquid crystal having an angle of visibility of 80 degrees (i.e., with an angle formed between the line normal to the display surface of the display section and the visibility range limit being 40 degrees), the display section is raised at about 50 degrees relative to the horizontal plane, so that visibility can be ensured both at the wheelchair seated position and at the standing position at which the non-handicapped person stands up. Further, by arranging visual recognition keys (a menu key etc.) which require an operator to view the display section during operation thereof outside of a projection region of the display section, the operator's hand on the operation panel never hides the display section during operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2007Date of Patent: February 28, 2012Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Shinya Kogoh, Toshihiko Matsuo, Ko Takeuchi, Toshhimitsu Kobayashi

Patent number: 7276670Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms an image on a sheet, a sheet output part that outputs the sheet having the image formed thereon by the image forming unit, and an operation panel for controlling the image forming unit disposed in a vicinity of the sheet output part. The operation panel has an operation part for setting an operation mode and a display part that displays the operation mode. At least a part of the operation part is disposed inside a sheet output area of the sheet output part, and the display part is disposed outside the sheet output area.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2004Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshimitsu Kobayashi, Ko Takeuchi, Shinya Kogoh, Toshihiko Matsuo
