Abstract: Secure circuitry detects a latency between when an interrupt occurred and when the interrupt was released in correspondence with handling of the interrupt. The secure circuitry detects an interval between consecutive occurrences of the interrupt. In response to either or both of the latency exceeding a latency limit and the interval exceeding an interval limit, the secure circuitry performs an action.

Abstract: Secure circuitry detects a number of memory transactions matching a specified pattern on a bus between a processor external to the secure circuitry and a memory external to the secure circuitry. The secure circuitry detects a cumulative size of the memory transactions matching the specified pattern on the bus between the processor and the memory. In response to either or both of the number of the memory transactions being outside a number range and the cumulative size being outside a size range, the secure circuitry performs an action.

Abstract: A method of printing a print job includes storing print job data on a non-volatile memory device that includes a connector for connection to a port of a printer.

Abstract: Copy-protected documents are generated for intended recipients by integrating a document, each recipient name on a recipient list, and a security template into distinct copy-protected documents.

Abstract: A docking station for a wireless mouse includes an output for communicating with a computer and a mouse detector for detecting when the mouse is docked in the docking station. The docking station is configured to transmit a signal to the computer to automatically deactivate the computer when the mouse is docked in the docking station.

Abstract: A processor executes a document rendering application for an open document. When the open document is unedited and a predetermined portion of the processor is available, the document is rendered to an output buffer. The rendering is suspended when a predetermined interrupt is received and is resumed after the predetermined interrupt has been serviced. When the document has been edited, any rendered portion of the document is removed from the output buffer and the document is reset as being unedited.

Abstract: A printer comprising one or more consumables and a network connection searches a network connected via the network connection for pricing for the one or more consumables. A user is notified when pricing below a user-specified amount is found.

Abstract: Apparatus, systems and methods for print previewing are provided. One method includes providing a print preview that reflects a consumable availability status and optionally proceeding with a print job.

Abstract: A printer comprises at least one print control that can be operated by a user. In response to operation of the print control, the printer generates and transmits a request from the printer to a general purpose computer that has data stored in it. The request contains information to cause the computer to execute a print operation. The printer prints the data received from the computer.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a scanning device for converting one or more configuration symbols on a printed medium into scan data. The scanning device is capable of scanning a configuration sheet and creating the scan data, including the one or more configuration symbols. The electronic device further includes a configuration device that receives the scan data and is capable of extracting the one or more configuration symbols to create one or more corresponding address-independent configuration values. The configuration device is further capable of configuring the electronic device with the one or more address-independent configuration values.

Abstract: A method for printing includes estimating ink usage for printing with a first color scheme and a second color scheme, and selecting between the first color scheme and the second color scheme for printing according to the estimating of the ink usage. An apparatus includes a first sensor to measure a level of a first ink, a second sensor to measure a level of a second ink, and a processor coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor and configured to estimate usage of the first ink and the second ink using a first color scheme and a second color scheme and configured to select the first color scheme or the second color scheme for use in printing according to the estimate of the usage of the first ink and the second ink.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a scanning device for converting indicia and markings on a printed medium into scan data and a configuration device that receives the scan data. The scanning device is capable of scanning a user-fillable configuration sheet marked by a user of the electronic device and creating the scan data, with the scan data including one or more configuration indicia. The configuration device is capable of decoding the one or more configuration indicia to create one or more corresponding configuration values and configuring the electronic device with the one or more configuration values.

Abstract: A method for use in faxing with a multifunction printer. A control sheet indicative of a set of files accessible by the printer is printed. The control sheet is optically scanned so as to recognize marks made by a user which are indicative of at least one designated file. The designated files are rendering into fax-formatted output data, and at least some of the output data is faxed to each of at least one designated destination.

Abstract: A printing system is disclosed herein. One embodiment of the printing system may include a control device having a plurality of states. At least one digital imaging device may be connectable to the control device. In addition, a plurality of printers may be connectable to the control device. The control device being in a first state causes at least one of the digital imaging device to generate first image data and transmit the first image data to a first printer.
