Abstract
This invention relates to light pipe extensions. Such structures of this type, generally, allow for machine-readable data to be transmitted from a mobile device, such as a laptop computer, to an imaging device, such as a printer. Also, this structure provides a means for which the machine-readable data can be transmitted around obstacles. For example, the obstacle might be the fact that the imaging device is located on top of a media-handling device and the mobile device does not have a direct line of sight to the imaging device.
