Abstract
An improved class of imaging devices with an ability to store a list of other imaging devices of an imaging device system are described. Such storage allows for ease of management facility utilization of the listed imaging devices and update of the management facility. Additionally, synchronization of managed imaging devices across multiple management facilities is allowed. Such storage can also allow for automated discovery and updating of status and features of the listed imaging devices that are part of a managed imaging device system.
