Abstract: The network is formed with a number of different computers (4) and associated printers (8). The computers can be in the form of client servers that are configured based upon data held in one of the computers that serves as a host system. Each target computer receives data from the host system.

Abstract: An electronic switching circut for sequencing asynchronously the direction-indicating signal and the gating signal to a bi-directional switch so that the direction-indicating signal is maintained before, during, and after the gating signal. Provision is made for producing two gating signals in response to a change in the direction of transmission through the bidirectional switch if the direction-indicating signal changes during the gating signal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for configuring a plurality of devices linked to a network, such as printers or any other network device, with a computer also linked to the network. A computer determines from the devices a source device. The computer then determines a set of features from features implemented in the source device. At least one value is set for each feature in the source device. The computer also determines at least one target device. For each target device, the computer then determines features from the determined set of features that the target device is capable of implementing. The computer then transmits to each target device via the network the values for the determined features the target device is capable of implementing. If there are multiple target devices, then different sets of values from the determined set of features may be transmitted to different target devices when the target devices have different capabilities with respect to the determined set of features. The target devices are configured with the values transmitted over the network.
