10. An image forming device comprising:
-
an image engine configured to form images upon media;
a user interface configured to receive input commands;
a communications interface adapted to communicate externally of the image forming device;
memory configured to store original user documentation information pertaining to the image forming device; and
processing circuitry coupled with the image engine and the memory and configured to automatically control communication of a user documentation request without user input via the communications interface to stimulate the communication of updated user documentation information, to control the storage of the updated user documentation received via the communications interface responsive to the communication of the user documentation request, to automatically control the image engine to form an instruction image without user input, to control the image engine to form a plurality of user documentation images responsive to the reception of a predetermined input command via the user input responsive to the formation of the instruction image, and wherein the user documentation images correspond to the user documentation information comprising at least one of the original user documentation information and the updated user documentation information, and wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to detect a predetermined moment in time and to delete at least a portion of the original user documentation information and the updated user documentation information from the memory responsive to the detection of the predetermined moment in time.
