Abstract
In a method for configuration of a device-specific program system, adjusting values that require different loading operations are input during an input phase. The first adjusting value is then transmitted to the device-specific program system. The device-specific program system carries out a loading operation required for the processing of the first adjusting value. The second adjusting value is transmitted to the device-specific program system and a corresponding load operation is carried out. With the method, a user is allowed to input the second adjusting value already before the first loading operation is completed.
Claims15
A method for configuration of device-specific programs in a printer or copier device, comprising the steps of:
- processing the device-specific programs with assistance of a device controller of the printer or c{dot over (o)}pier device;
- storing in a memory area of the device controller at least one setting value corresponding to a first device-specific program for a load event for loading of said first device-specific program at a turn-on of the printer or copier device;
- automatically outputting the stored setting value at a display unit of the printer or copier device before or during the implementation of the load event;
- when required, modifying the setting value with assistance of an input unit of the printer or copier device before or during the load event and storing said modified setting value, said modified setting value corresponding to a second device-specific program;
- and
- readying at least said first or second device-specific programs for loading during the load event by use of the stored or modified setting values.
A computer readable medium embodying a computer program for configuration of device-specific programs used for controlling a printer or a copier device, comprising:
- a command sequence that can be implemented by a processor of a device controller of the printer or copier device;
- and
- the device controller is initiated upon execution of the command sequence to implement the following steps:
- processing the device-specific programs with assistance of said device controller,
- storing in a memory area of the device controller at least one setting value corresponding to a first device-specific program for a load event at a turn-on of the printer or copier device,
- automatically outputting the stored setting value at a display unit before or during implementation of the load event, and when required, modifying the setting value with assistance of an input unit before or during the implementation of the load event, the modified setting value corresponding to a second device-specific program, and
- readying at least said first or second device-specific programs for loading during the load event by use of the stored or modified setting values.
A printer or copier device, comprising:
- a memory for storing a setting value corresponding to a first device-specific program or for storing a modified setting value corresponding to a second device-specific program;
- a device controller which controls loading of said first or second device-specific programs at a turn-on of the printer or copier device;
- a display unit which automatically outputs the stored setting value before or during implementation of the load event for the first device-specific program;
- an input unit used for said modification of said setting value before or during the implementation of the load event;
- and
- said device controller readying the first or second device-specific programs for loading during the load event by use of the stored or modified setting values.
