SERVER APPARATUS, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND PRINTING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18454675 titled 'SERVER APPARATUS, PRINTING APPARATUS, AND PRINTING SYSTEM

Simplified Explanation

The server apparatus described in the patent application is designed to manage print target data and track whether it has been printed by a printing apparatus. If the server determines that there is print target data that has not been printed, it will transmit the data to the printing apparatus for printing.

  • The server apparatus includes a storage medium for storing print target data and information on whether it has been printed.
  • A processor is used to analyze the stored information and determine if there is any print target data that has not been printed.
  • If there is unprinted data, the server will send it to the printing apparatus for printing.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in office settings to efficiently manage print jobs and ensure that all necessary documents are printed.
  • It can also be utilized in print shops to streamline the printing process and prevent any missed print jobs.

Problems Solved

  • Eliminates the risk of missing print jobs or duplicating print jobs by keeping track of what has been printed.
  • Improves workflow efficiency by automatically sending unprinted data to the printing apparatus.

Benefits

  • Reduces waste by preventing unnecessary reprints.
  • Saves time by automating the printing process and avoiding manual checks for unprinted data.
