1. A multiple-function peripheral device, comprising:
- a packet-switched network interface communicatively coupled to a remote server via a data network; and
an autonomous application programming interface configured to request electronic message information stored on a remote server from the remote server via the packet-switched network interface in a first mode of operation according to a timing specified by a configuration process of the multiple-function peripheral device, the electronic message information being associated with an identifier that uniquely identifies the multiple-function peripheral device as a destination of the electronic message.

Abstract
A multiple-function peripheral device includes a packet-switched network interface and an autonomous application programming interface. The application programming interface requests image information from a remote server via the packet-switched network interface in a first mode of operation. The application programming interface sends image information to a remote device via the packet-switched network interface in a second mode of operation.
