Abstract
Management of the network impact caused by a digital transmitter, such as a multifunction peripheral (an MFP), delays file transmission until available network bandwidth is sufficient to prevent adverse network impact. In one implementation, a resource determination module determines resource availabilities, including disk space remaining on the digital transmitter and available network bandwidth. A file priority determination module prioritizes files contained in a file library on the digital transmitter for transmission over a network. A store vs. send decision module determines if a highest priority file should be sent over the network, given the resource availabilities.
