A multifunction device includes a controller that is configured to process data from a processor capable of executing a printing utility. The controller renders the data into a format readable by an electronic book device having a processor. A document print management system includes the multifunction device, and a port configured to transfer the data to an electronic book device when an electronic book device is in operative communication with the controller via the port. The system also includes an electronic book device in operative communication with the controller via the port. In a method for rendering a document to an electronic book device, the method includes causing a document management device to process data received from a processor capable of executing a printing utility and rendering image data into a format readable by the electronic book device.

An apparatus () having a peripheral interface port hub and secure thumb device enclosure is disclosed. The apparatus can include a frame () and an external peripheral interface upstream port () coupled to the frame. The external peripheral interface upstream port can be configured to couple the apparatus to a host external peripheral interface port, where the host external peripheral interface port can be configured to couple a host device to a peripheral external to the host device. The apparatus can include a plurality of external peripheral interface downstream ports (-) coupled to the frame, where each external peripheral interface downstream port can be configured to couple the apparatus to an external peripheral interface thumb device, where the external peripheral interface thumb device can be configured to be coupled to a printing apparatus. The apparatus can include a cover () configured to cover external peripheral interface thumb devices coupled to the plurality of external peripheral interface downstream ports.

A system configured to organize and display configuration information associated with at least one digital printing apparatus. The system includes a processor, a communications interface operably connected to the processor and configured to establish an operable connection to at least one remotely located printing device, and a computer readable medium operably connected to the processor, the computer readable medium containing a set of instructions. The instructions are configured to instruct the processor to request configuration information from the at least one printing device, receive the configuration information from the at least one printing device, format the configuration information such that the configuration information is displayable in a window within the user interface, and display the configuration information.

This is a take-up roller assembly that is connected to paper exiting a scanner and collects this exiting paper. The take-up roller assembly is moved by movement of paper entering the scanner together with a paper pulling structure that is located in the scanner. This take-up roller assembly is uniquely suitable for use in a wide format imaging system that uses a scanner.

Features of Enterprise Java Bean (EJB), Enterprise Printing Bean (EPB), JAVA, J2EE, and document authoring are combined to enable a robust enterprise printing architecture. A Java object encapsulates a print job specification and provides a framework enabling access control to print jobs as well as providing audit capabilities. Print control languages can be specified using methods provided by the Java object. Actual process implementation can be supplied via a server enabling another layer of security and control. A user wanting to securely print a job supplies appropriate credentials to the print job bean to gain access to the content and print server credentials allow printing of the print job. The EJB API is extendable to enable all of the J2EE capabilities found on standard EJBs to be applied to print Jobs. Further, a new Java API provides a more powerful page description language than that found in other printing languages.

A web publishing method using J2EE based controller. User submits an image from a workstation and chooses 'Print to Website' option as the media type. The image is converted into an image format (e.g. JPEG) that can be display in a browser. These images can then be transmitted through a new output channel that would package them into a J2EE EAR file. The J2EE EAR file would abide by all J2EE conventions for specifying the URL and user interfaces via Struts MVC (Model View Controller). The EAR file can then be dropped in the JBoss deployment directory where it would be made available to the user. The user can receive a prompt at the driver or client tool interface letting them know that printing was successful, presenting them with the new URL, and optionally asking them to password the new web site if so desired.
