Abstract
The present invention includes a printer system and a method of reproducing an image. One aspect of the present invention provides a printing system including a scanner including an image reception device configured to flatbed scan a print job including a plurality of pages and output image data corresponding to the pages; a print engine controller coupled with the scanner and configured to receive the print job including the image data corresponding to the pages; and a print engine coupled with the print engine controller and configured to print a plurality of collated copies of the print job.
Claims23
A printing system comprising:
- a scanner including an image reception device configured to flatbed scan a print job including a plurality of pages and output image data corresponding to the pages;
- a print engine controller coupled with the scanner and configured to receive the print job including the image data corresponding to the pages;
- a print engine coupled with the print engine controller and configured to print a plurality of collated copies of the print job;
- and
- wherein the print engine is configured to print the collated copies of the print job which has been flatbed scanned after flatbed scanning the pages of the print job and after a user indicates no additional pages are to be flatbed scanned.
A method of reproducing an image comprising:
- providing a scanner;
- coupling a printer with the scanner;
- flatbed scanning a print job comprising a plurality of pages using the scanner;
- printing a plurality of collated copies of the print job using the printer;
- and
- receiving an indication from a user that no additional pages of the print job are to be scanned after the flatbed scanning, and wherein the printing is responsive to the receiving.
A method of reproducing an image comprising:
- providing a scanner;
- coupling a printer with the scanner;
- flatbed scanning a plurality of input pages using the scanner;
- outputting image data from the scanner which corresponds to the input pages;
- printing at least one output page having image data from plural input pages using the printer;
- and
- receiving an indication from a user that no additional pages of the print job are to be scanned after the flatbed scanning, and wherein the printing is responsive to the receiving.
