Abstract:
1. A system for coordinated document processing operations among devices having differing functionality comprising: a first document processing device having a scanning function; a controller, including a processor and associated data storage, operable to control operation of the first document processing device; a user interface to the controller, the user interface including a display; an input operable to receive a document into the first document processing device; a second document processing device having a second document processing function unable to be performed by the first document processing device, wherein the first document processing device is in data communication with the second document processing device via an associated data network; a display generator associated with the controller, the display generator operable to generate document processing selection data on the display, the document processing selection data including a document processing operation for the document, the document processing operation including the scanning function and the second document processing function; wherein the user interface is operable to receive user selection input data corresponding to a user-selected document processing operation, the user-selected document processing operation corresponding to the document processing operation; and wherein the controller is operable to perform the scanning function on the document and to communicate the document to the second document processing device thereafter for completion of the second document processing function.
