  • Publication number: 20050254078
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for selectively emulating printer job processes. The method comprises: receiving a print job from a source; determining a match between received print job commands and default print job commands; mapping non-matching received print job commands to default print job commands; and, printing the print job using an modified set of received print job commands. The job may be printed using a combination of mapped default and received print job commands. The match between received print job commands and default print job commands may be determined by identifying a source print driver identity. The source print driver can be identified in response to parsing PJL commands received with the print job. Then, the method selects a table in response to determining the source print driver identity and accesses the selected table for default print job commands that have been cross-referenced to received print job commands.

  • Publication number: 20050210259
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for scan to confidential print job communications. The method comprises: at a source, scanning a document; accepting a password; encrypting the scanned document; transmitting the encrypted document with the password, to a network-connected printer; at the printer, accepting the encrypted document and password; accepting an access code at a local interface; comparing the access code to the password; in response to a matching the access code to the password, decrypting the document; and, printing the decrypted document. More specifically, an encryption key is derived from the password as used to encrypt the document, and the source hashes the password. Then, the encrypted document is transmitted with the hashed password. Likewise, the printer hashes the access code; compares the hashed password to the hashed access code; regenerates the encryption key from the access code; and, uses the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted document.

  • Publication number: 20050086240
    Abstract: A system and method for generating passive metadata from user interface selections at an imaging device includes an imaging device and at least one destination having at least one controllable setting. The imaging device preferably includes a document imaging system for capturing an image file, a user interface system for accepting passive data user input pertaining to the image file, a data conversion system for converting the passive data into a metadata file, and a transmission system for transmitting the image file and an associated metadata file through a network to at least one destination. The passive data affects at least one controllable setting of the destination. Passive data may be, for example, routing information, user information, file formatting instructions, and/or billing information.
