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.

88. A method for printing time-based media, the method comprising:
-
receiving time-based media data from a media source; displaying, on a user interface display of a multifunction printer, a function selection menu comprising a plurality of user-selectable audio and video range selection functions to be applied to the time-based media; receiving a user selected multimedia function, wherein the user selected multimedia function is a function selected from the plurality of user-selectable audio range and video range selection functions displayed on the function selection menu; performing, by the multifunction printer, the user selected multimedia function on the time-based media data; generating, by the multifunction printer, a printable representation comprising results of the user selected multimedia function applied to the time-based media; printing the printable representation to a tangible medium; and outputting an electronic output of the printable representation. - View Dependent Claims (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, 119, 120, 121, 122)
