A system comprising a multifunctional peripheral device in which the multifunctional peripheral device comprises a processor and a display device, in which the processor detects signature lines in an electronic document, and in which the display device of the multifunctional peripheral device displays the detected signature lines one at a time.

Multifunctional peripheral device detecting and displaying signature lines within an electronic document

A system comprising a multifunctional peripheral device comprising a processor and a display device, in which the display device presents to a user an electronic document, in which, with an editing module, the multifunctional peripheral device receives input indicating edits to be made to the electronic document, and in which the edits are saved as a separate image.

Editing an electronic document on a multipurpose peripheral device

Communication systems for establishing communication links between first and second computing devices are provided. A representative system includes a second computing device that incorporates a speed-dial system, a first actuator and a menu. The speed-dial system is configured to receive a first user input corresponding to actuation of the first actuator, determine whether a phone number is associated with the first actuator, and enable the user to associate a first phone number with the first actuator without accessing the menu. So configured, after the user associates a phone number with the first actuator, the second computing device speed-dials the phone number in response to actuation of the first actuator to establish a communication link with the first computing device. Methods and other systems also are provided.
