Abstract
The subject application is directed to a configuration cloning system and method for document processing devices. Configuration data, representing a suitable configuration for implementation by the receiving document processing device, is first received by at least one document processing device. The document processing device then commences operations based upon the received configuration data. The configuration data is then tested by the document processing device. Depending upon the outcome of the testing by the document processing device, the received configuration data is transferred to at least one additional document processing device via a computer network.
Claims18
A configuration cloning system for document processing devices comprising:
- means adapted for receiving, into at least one document processing device, configuration data representative of a configuration thereof;
- means adapted for commencing operation of the at least one document processing device in accordance with received configuration data;
- testing means adapted for testing received configuration data;
- and
- transfer means adapted for selectively commencing a transfer of received configuration data to at least one additional document processing device via an associated network in accordance with an output of the testing means.
A configuration cloning method for document processing devices comprising the steps of:
- receiving, into at least one document processing device, configuration data representative of a configuration thereof;
- commencing operation of the at least one document processing device in accordance with received configuration data;
- testing received configuration data;
- and
- selectively commencing a transfer of received configuration data to at least one additional document processing device via an associated network in accordance with an output of the testing.
A computer-implemented method for configuration cloning for document processing devices comprising the steps of:
- receiving, into at least one document processing device, configuration data representative of a configuration thereof;
- commencing operation of the at least one document processing device in accordance with received configuration data;
- testing received configuration data;
- and
- selectively commencing a transfer of received configuration data to at least one additional document processing device via an associated network in accordance with an output of the testing.
