The information server also uses Salutation to access the device's display capabilities, which enable the server to responds with user interface content designed for both the specific workers profile and the capabilities of the device being used by the worker. As a result, simple choices, tailored specifically to the worker's profile and the devices capabilities, can be presented on the device's display. If the worker selects scan, a list of destination choices are presented, such as personal in-box, department distribution, manager, OCR process, and billing process. If schedule is selected, the worker's appointments for the next three days are printed in the preferred format. Salutation forms the base for determining not only the capabilities of the device but also the preferred user interface characteristics.
Salutation is the only architecture required to plug and play both the device and the user.
It provides a client with simple access methods to temporary spooling storage, and defines minimum functions for the purpose. DOC Storage Functional Unit abstracts a container of documents as folder, and may contain more than one folders. Implementation of DOC Storage Functional Unit can be typically found in a facsimile machine, copier, printing equipment, and so on . Close examination of this architected container structure shows it is applicable to other spooling store applications. For example, the DocStore Functional Unit can be used to contain the device driver code for a Salutation-enabled device.
