  • Patent number: 9721196
    Abstract: Systems and methods for performing print job cancellation in an ESU model printer are provided. An embodiment can involve receiving, at an ESU of a printing device, a print job, wherein the print job includes a first portion. The first portion can be transmitted from the ESU to a main unit. The main unit can receive a print job cancel command corresponding to the received print job, wherein the cancel command is received after the first portion is transmitted to the main unit, but before the full print job has been transmitted. The main unit can then transmit a notification of the received cancel command to the ESU. The ESU can receive the notification of the received cancel command, and responsive to receiving the notification, terminate the transmission of the print job from the ESU to the main unit.

  • Publication number: 20170019365
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to multi-protocol peripheral device communication. A method involves establishing a network connection between a management computing device and a peripheral device. The network connection utilizes a particular transport protocol. The method also involves generating, at the management computing device, a first message that represents a request for information from a peripheral device. The first message is in a format compatible with a first application protocol. The method further involves generating, at the management computing device, a second message based on the first message. The second message is in a format compatible with a second application protocol. The second application protocol is configured to communicate over the particular transport protocol. Additionally, the method involves transmitting, by the particular transport protocol, the second message from the management computing device to the peripheral device.
