Abstract
Apparatus and methods that allow for the acquisition of customized imaging device menus from source imaging devices and configuration of versions of the customized imaging menus across one or more imaging devices or classes of imaging devices in a networked imaging device system. The customized imaging device menus can be configured for one or more classes of users, administrators, location, or specialized purposes. This allows an administrator to quickly and easily customize the interface of one or more imaging devices on a network to fit users needs, device purpose, and/or business expectations.
