Abstract:
A multi-functional printing (MFP) includes a scan privacy tool to allow edits and changes to a document image to remove or hide private information within a document. The scan privacy tool is enabled for jobs on the MFP device and launches when a print job is run. The document is sent from a device or retrieved from memory storage. The document image displayed on a display and edit interface of the scan privacy tool. Changes are made to the document image using tools available through the scan privacy tool. The changes are applied to the document image. The modified image is saved and transmitted to an engine in the MFP device to complete the print job.

Claim (Index 21):
A printing system comprising:\n a printing device having an engine to receive a document to generate an image file to print; and a scan privacy tool to intercept and receive the image file from the printing device when invoked and to suspend printing operations at the engine, wherein the scan privacy tool is a separate component detachable from the printing device, the scan privacy tool including\n an imaging interface to receive and store the image file during the suspended printing operations, \n a display and edit interface to receive the image file from the imaging interface and to display the image file, wherein the display and edit interface receives an instruction to perform an action \n to identify a portion of the image file having characters, \n to modify the portion of the image file using a tool, wherein the portion is made private by the tool, and \n a scan privacy tool library to support the tool to modify the portion of the image file as displayed by the display and edit interface, wherein the display and edit interface sends the modified image file including the portion to the imaging interface, \n wherein the scan privacy tool stores the modified image file including the portion, \n wherein the engine receives the modified image file including the portion from the scan privacy tool to print the modified image file.
