User interface for networked printer
First Claim
1. A system for printing time-based media data, the system comprising:
- a printing system for performing a multimedia function on the time-based media data;
a processing device, communicatively coupled to the printer by a network for performing a multimedia function on the time-based media data; and
a user interface for receiving a user selection of an amount of processing to be performed by the printer and an amount of processing to be performed by the processing device.

Abstract
A multifunction printer enables the printing of time-based media and is operated via a user interface. The user interface includes a touch screen for accepting command inputs and providing information to a user. Time-based media data is received by the printer from a media source specified via the user interface. A user specifies one or more multimedia processing functions for the printer to apply to the data. The printer performs the specified functions, and previews the output to the user via a display of the user interface. If the user decides to print the previewed output, the user specifies one or more output devices, such that the printer can print conventional printed output and/or to a specified electronic output.

81. A method for printing time-based media, the method comprising:
-
receiving time-based media data from a media source;
receiving user input, the user input specifying a multimedia function to perform on the time-based media, an amount of processing to be performed by a printer, and an amount of processing to be performed by a processing device;
performing, by the printer, the amount of processing specified to be performed by the printer to carry out the specified multimedia function;
performing, by the processing device, the amount of processing specified to be performed by the processing device to carry out the specified multimedia function;
producing output on the printer associated with the processed media data; and
producing an electronic output associated with the processed media data. - View Dependent Claims (82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118)
