1. A method of performing an image capture operation at a peripheral device, comprising:
- receiving, by the peripheral device, a pre-programmed image capture operation request from a user at a workstation adapted to the user;
determining whether the received pre-programmed image capture operation request represents at least one valid request for the peripheral device to perform an image capture operation including at least one associated attribute;
generating a job ticket from the valid pre-programmed image capture operation request;
generating, by the peripheral device, a first identifier associated with the job ticket for performing the image capture operation in the peripheral device;
storing, in the peripheral device, the first identifier associated with the job ticket;
sending the first identifier from the peripheral device to the user via the workstation;
receiving, by the peripheral device, a second identifier from the user;
determining if the second identifier corresponds to the first identifier; and
if the second identifier corresponds to the first identifier, performing by the peripheral device the image capture operation corresponding to the received pre-programmed image capture operation request.

Abstract
A method for controlling a peripheral device includes receiving input from a user at a workstation adapted to the user, determining whether the received input can be valid, generating a job ticket from the valid input, sending the job ticket to the peripheral device and receiving an identifier representing the job ticket from the peripheral device.

8. A method of performing an image capture operation at a networked peripheral device, comprising:
-
receiving a pre-programmed image capture operation request by the peripheral device from a user at an input/output (I/O) device adapted for the user; determining whether the received pre-programmed image capture operation request represents a valid request for the peripheral device to perform an image capture operation including at least one associated attribute; generating, by the networked peripheral device, an identification representing the valid request for performing the image capture operation in the peripheral device; sending, to the input/output (I/O) device, the identification representing the valid request; receiving, by the peripheral device, a second identification from the user; and if the second identification corresponds to the identification representing the valid request, performing, by the peripheral device, the image capture operation including the at least one associated attribute, wherein the networked peripheral device is capable of performing at least one of e-mailing, copying, faxing and scanning. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of executing a job ticket in a multifunction peripheral (MFP) device, comprising:
-
receiving a job ticket corresponding to an image capture operation request having at least one attribute by the MFP device from a user workstation over a network; determining if the image capture operation request represents at least one valid MFP device image capture function and if the at least one associated attribute is valid for the image capture function; if the image capture operation request is determined to be valid, generating, by the MFP device, an identifier associated with the valid image capture operation request for performing the at least one valid MFP device image capture function; storing the image capture operation request and the identifier at the MFP device; receiving input at the MFP device; determining whether the received input matches the identifier; and executing the image capture function associated with the identifier if the received input matches the identifier, wherein the MFP device performs at least one of e-mailing, copying, faxing and scanning. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
