Abstract
This invention relates to self-propelled, mobile input/output bins (MIOB). Such structures of this type, generally, allow the MIOB to scan/read machine readable data on an input/output job banner page. This information allows the MIOB to determine the owner of the input/output job, the owner's location, and the location where the input/output job is to be delivered so that the input/output job can be delivered by the MIOB.
