A system and method for performing scanning operations using a scanner connected to a server computer and transmitting acquired images from the scanner server to a client computer. A scan-to-application process is utilized which allows control of the scanner or other image acquiring device which is connected to a scanner server using a virtual TWAIN driver which interfaces to an application program running in the client computer. Image files are also transmitted to a local file storage device of the client computer using a scan-to-file operation. A network protocol is used to implement both the scan-to-application and scan-to-file operation. Computer memories are utilized to store data structures or tables containing various information utilized during the file transfer procedures. Computer memories are also used to buffer and store the protocol packet headers and transmitted information.

A method and apparatus for overlaying a data image on a form image includes a form enhancement module that interfaces to a PostScript driver and a forms overlay plug in module. A forms overlaying utility is included that stores and manages encapsulated PostScript files of form images on a mass storage device connected to a printer. The method and apparatus also includes combining the data file also encoded, albeit in a standard PostScript format, with the image file of the form so as to provide a composite output form that is printed from the printer without having to download the form via the computer to the printer each time the form is to be completed. To this end, the method and apparatus includes the forms overlaying module that inserts particular PostScript commands into a print job stream produced by an Adobe PostScript (PS) driver executing the data page description so as to call the encapsulated PostScript form image file from the printer hard disk and correctly combine it with the PostScript data file for printing.

A strip sport light including a central body and two side strips with multiple electrical light sources for illumination and blinking. Each side strip has one or more distributed electrical energy sources each enclosed in an aerodynamic housing, and multiple electrical light sources distributed along the length of the side strip. The central body contains an electronic printed circuit board, a three-step push button switch, and multiple electrical light sources. The strip sport light may be mounted on a bicycle helmet or worn on a user's head or waist for enhanced safety.
