Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for providing external accounting functions for a peripheral device.

Methods and systems for peripheral accounting

Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for maintaining imaging device (IDev) accounting data in the event that an imaging device's primary accounting server becomes unavailable.

Methods and systems for imaging device accounting data management

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for maintaining imaging device (IDev) accounting data in the event that an imaging device's primary accounting server becomes unavailable. Some aspects relate to the use of a lightweight accounting backup server (LABS) that may reside on an imaging device, a networked computer or another computing device for the purpose of storing and communication accounting data when a primary accounting server fails.

Methods and systems for imaging device accounting server redundancy

A system is provided for maintaining imaging device (IDev) accounting data. A primary accounting server (PAS) sends messages to an imaging device (IDev) and to a lightweight accounting back-up server (LABS). The PAS receives messages from the IDev and updates a primary IDev activity log (PIAL). The IDev receives messages from the Primary server and a LABS in communication with the IDev. The LABS sends and receives messages and data from the IDev and from the PAS. The IDev sends a record of its activity to the PAS when the PAS is available, and the PAS maintains a primary IDev activity log (PIAL). The IDev sends a record of its activity to the LABS when the PAS is not available and the LABs maintains a temporary IDev activity log (TIAL). The PAS updates the PIAL with the TIAL data after a period of unavailability.

System for maintaining imaging device accounting data

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for sending content to an imaging device display using a browser and an embedded application. Some aspects relate to an interruptive process whereby a browser process is interrupted in order to display new browser content. Some aspects relate to an interruptive process whereby alarm or error content is pushed to the browser.

Methods and systems for displaying content on an imaging device

Methods and systems for transmitting content to an imaging device

Aspects of the present invention relate to systems, methods and devices for receiving job configuration data, deriving detailed job parameters and calculating job costs in relation to an imaging device job. Some aspects relate to the receiving display content for use as a prompt to obtain job configuration data. Some aspects relate to display of display content for prompting a user to input the job configuration data.

Methods and systems for local configuration-based imaging device accounting

Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for eliminating multiple submission of user credential data in a system with multiple distinct restricted sub-systems wherein a unique credential is required for each sub-system.

Methods and systems for imaging device credential authentication and communication

Embodiments of the present invention comprise systems, methods and devices for imaging device credential submission wherein credentials are extracted by scanning graphical indicia on user documents using a primary document scanner.
