    Abstract: A system comprises a server, a mobile device and an image forming apparatus. The server includes a storage manager for managing storage of documents and associated document identifiers, a mobile device interface for receiving a set request identifying a user from the mobile device and for providing associated document identifiers to the mobile device, and an image forming apparatus interface for receiving from the image forming apparatus a document request containing a document identifier and for providing in response a document associated with the document identifier to the image forming apparatus, the document identifier received by the image forming apparatus from the mobile device as a graphical code image. The image forming apparatus includes a scanner for scanning the graphical code image from the mobile device, and a server interface for sending the document request to the server and for receiving the document.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a method for managing printing device software. The method includes receiving, at a computing device, a request to print a document file. The method also includes receiving a selection of a particular printing device with which to print the document file. The method further includes performing a search operation to determine whether a printer driver for the particular printing device is stored on the first computing device. Additionally, the method includes causing a data transfer of the printer driver from a server onto the first computing device over a wide area network upon determining that the printer driver is not stored on the computing device. Further, the method includes converting, using the printer driver, the document file into a print job. The method also includes transmitting, to the particular printing device, instructions to execute the print job.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus prints a template sheet. The template sheet includes a graphical code and operation boxes. The graphical code includes information corresponding to a storage location address that stores information about settings for one or more image forming apparatuses. A user indicates what information is desired or to be changed on the image forming apparatus, marks it on the template sheet and scans the template sheet. Based on the instructions on the template sheet, information for settings is retrieved for an apparatus in a network. Maintenance information for the image forming apparatus also is retrieved using the template sheet and operation boxes.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a printing device searching and management system and method. The method involves receiving a search input comprising a plurality of characters. The method also involves determining a search condition based on a first portion of the plurality of characters. The method further involves determining a command based on a second portion of the plurality of characters. Additionally, the method involves determining whether at least one printing device of the plurality of printing devices meets a criterion specified by the search condition. If at least one printing device meets the criterion, the method involves identifying one or more printing devices that meet the criterion specified by the search condition. Further, the method involves executing the determined command in association with at least one particular printing device from among the identified one or more printing devices on a device specified by the determined command.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system, a method, and a device for monitoring printing devices using activity scores. In example embodiments, one or more printing devices are polled to monitor associated device states. A management device, using the associated device state and one or more requests transmitted to each of the one or more printing devices, generates an activity score. By comparing activity scores of the one or more printing devices, the management device can rank the printing devices against one another and assign priority levels to each printing device. These priority levels can then be used to establish frequencies for future polling of the one or more printing devices.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus may include a network interface, an image-capture unit, a printing unit, and a processor configured to execute instructions. The instructions may include causing the image-capture unit to capture a representation of a graphical code displayed on a mobile computing device. The graphical code may be associated with print data. The instructions may also include causing the image forming apparatus to send via the network interface to the server a request for print data. The request may include the captured representation of the graphical code. The instructions may further comprise receiving, from the server via the network interface, the print data associated with the graphical code. Additionally, the instructions may include printing, via the printing unit, the received print data.
