Method and system for automatically providing for multi-point document storing, access, and retrieval

A method for storing, accessing, and retrieving data, the method comprising the steps of:

• enabling a plurality of multifunction devices (MFDs) to be in operable communication with a network, the plurality of MFDs configured to be positioned in different geographical locations;
• and
• automatically storing the data generated by the plurality of MFDs on a memory device;
• wherein an authorized user is enabled to print a document via a print request from a first MFD of the plurality of MFDs and then retrieve the document at any of the other MFDs on the network without re-sending another print request from the first MFD.

A computer-readable medium storing programmable instructions configured for being executed by at least one processor for storing, accessing, and retrieving data, the method comprising the steps of:

• enabling a plurality of multifunction devices (MFDs) to be in operable communication with a network, the plurality of MFDs configured to be positioned in different geographical locations;
• and
• automatically storing the data generated by the plurality of MFDs on a memory device;
• wherein an authorized user is enabled to print a document via a print request from a first MFD of the plurality of MFDs and then retrieve the document at any of the other MFDs on the network without re-sending another print request from the first MFD.
