A device for supporting a cloud print service includes a control unit configured to control so that print data generated in a first area is acquired in a second area, a user interface unit configured to provide a user interface for performing user authentication according to the acquisition of the print data and receive authentication information from a user through the user interface, and a communication unit configured to transmit the acquired print data to a cloud print server if the user authentication succeeds by using the received authentication information.

Device for supporting cloud print service and method of providing cloud print service

A method of scanning a document includes obtaining an original image by scanning a document; detecting at least one pair of marks disposed on the original image; extracting an image of an area that is defined by the detected at least one pair of marks from the original image; and creating a new document file by using the extracted image.

Method of scanning document and image forming apparatus for performing the same

A method of mobile printing using near field communication (NFC) includes executing a mobile printing application installed in a mobile device; setting a wireless connection for data transmission between the mobile device and an image forming apparatus by performing NFC tagging on the image forming apparatus with the mobile device; and automatically performing a function corresponding to a status of the mobile printing application when NFC tagging is performed.

System and method of mobile printing using near field communication

A host device and a driver management method of the host device are provided. The driver management method of the host device includes searching for at least one image scanning device connected to the host device, displaying a list of the at least one image scanning device found as a result of searching, selecting one of the at least one image scanning device from the displayed list, generating a user-specified driver for the selected image scanning device, and adding the generated user-specified driver. Therefore, it is possible to simplify the use of a universal image scanning device driver.

Host device with universal image scanning device driver and driver management method thereof

A host apparatus and a method to share favorite image reading apparatuses thereof are provided. The method to share favorite image reading apparatuses of a host apparatus includes registering at least one of searched image reading apparatuses to a list of favorite image reading apparatuses; selecting at least one of the registered favorite image reading apparatuses to be shared; activating a sharing function to share the selected favorite image reading apparatus; transmitting the list of favorite image reading apparatuses to or receiving a list of favorite image reading apparatuses from another host apparatus of which the sharing function is activated. Therefore, a universal driver may share a list of favorite image reading apparatuses.

Host apparatus and method to share favorite image reading apparatuses thereof

A method for controlling the host apparatus includes searching for at least one image reading apparatus being connected to the host apparatus; displaying a list of image reading apparatuses using the first information of the searched at least one image reading apparatus; selecting one of the at least image reading apparatus from the displayed list of image reading apparatuses; displaying a user interface (UI) for selecting a scanning option which includes the second information of the selected image reading apparatus using the second information corresponding to the selected image reading apparatus; and controlling the selected image reading apparatus to perform a scanning operation according to the scanning option which is input through the UI for selecting a scanning option. Accordingly, a plurality of image reading apparatuses are controlled by a single universal driver without the need of installing driver programs for each of the image reading apparatuses.
