System for cloning document processing related settings in a document processing system
First Claim
1. A document processing system including a plurality of document processing related devices in which each of the document processing related devices communicates with one another by way of a network, comprising:
- a first document processing related device with a set of document processing related settings, said document processing related device being programmed with the set of document processing related settings and including a writing service for writing a subset of the set of document processing related settings to one or more electronic pages;
a second document processing related device communicating with said first document processing related device and including a property programming service for programming said second document processing related device with the subset of the set of document processing related settings; and
a network browsing system, communicating with both the writing service of said first document processing related device and the programming service of said second document processing related device, for causing the one or more electronic pages with the subset of the set of document processing related settings to be submitted from said first document processing related device to said second document processing related device so that the subset of the set of document processing related settings is read by the programming service, when a preselected condition is met, to program said second document processing related device in response to said reading of the subset of the set of document processing related settings by the programming service.

Abstract
A document processing system is provided in which a first document processing related device, having a set of document processing related settings or settings, is disposed remotely of a second document processing related device on a network. A browser is used to get an electronic page for the first document processing related device and information regarding a location of the second document processing on the network is written in the electronic page with the browser. The electronic page with the written information is posted to the first document processing related device and a server provides the electronic page with a subset of the set of document processing related settings or settings. The browser then submits the electronic page with the subset of the set of document processing related settings to the second document processing related device for programming the second document processing related device with the subset of the set of document processing related settings.

10. In a document processing system with a first document processing related device communicating with a second document processing related device by way of a network, the first document processing related device including a set of document processing related settings and a service for obtaining a subset of the set of document processing related settings, the second document processing related device including a service for programming the second document processing related device with the subset of the set of document processing related settings, the document processing system including a browser communicating with both the first document processing related device and the second document processing related device, a method for copying the subset of the set of document processing related settings from the first document processing related device to the second document processing related device, comprising:
-
a) using the browser to get an electronic page for the first document processing related device; b) writing information in the electronic page, with the browser, to identify a location of the second document processing related device; c) posting the electronic page with the written information to the first document processing related device; d) using the obtaining service to provide the electronic page with the subset of the set of document processing related settings; and e) using the browser to submit the electronic page with the subset of the set of document processing related settings to the second document processing related device for programming the second document processing related device with the subset of the set of document processing related settings. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
