Abstract
A system and method are provided for an imaging device to manage scan destination profiles in a network of connected devices. The method comprises: accepting a profile at an imaging device. The profile may contain a network-connected destination, protocol instructions, and/or instructions to be performed at the destination. The method: temporarily stores the accepted profile; performs a scanning job; and, sends the scanned job to the profile destination. The profiles can be accepted from a storage device source such as a wireless telephone, PDA, or a smart card. In another aspect of the method, accepting a profile includes: establishing a wireless communication link between a proximity badge and a badge detector connected to the imaging device; identifying a user associated with the detected badge; accessing a network-connected server memory with profiles cross-referenced to user identities; and, downloading a profile from the server associated with the identified user.
