Abstract: An example is directed to a computing device having non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions executable by a processor to cause the computing device to receive, from a server in communication with the computing device and an appliance, data indicative of a message that is specific to the appliance and associated with an operational state of the appliance. The instructions are further executed by the processor to provide the message on a display of the computing device as coordinated with a visual indication on the appliance associated with the operational state of the appliance using the received data.

Abstract: A system for creating or modifying a template is disclosed that includes a plurality of application controls configured to allow a user to modify one or more application parameters for an application associated with each application control. A plurality of virtual machine controls are configured to allow a user to modify one or virtual machine parameters for a virtual machine associated with each virtual machine control and to allow a user to associate each virtual machine control with one or more application control. The application controls are configured to allow a user to associate each application control with one or more virtual machine control.

Abstract: A method for detecting a media change includes the steps of comparing a previous media condition to a current media condition, detecting a media change when the previous media condition is in one state and the current media condition is not that one state and, prompting a user to make appropriate menu selections when the media change is detected.

Abstract: A printing device includes light guides to assist the user in aligning the device with a reference, such as the edge of a page. The light guides emit a beam of light that produces an illuminated visible straight line segment on the page. The light guides can employ a light source such as an LED, an incandescent bulb, or a laser, and they can use a divergent lens to spread the light into a straight line segment that is projected onto the page.
