PRINTING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF COUNTING THE NUMBER OF TIMES OF PRINTING, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18597209 titled 'PRINTING APPARATUS CAPABLE OF COUNTING THE NUMBER OF TIMES OF PRINTING, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PRINTING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation: The patent application involves counting the number of times a print job is printed based on the printing protocol associated with it.

  • The innovation involves distinguishing between different types of printing protocols and counting the number of printings accordingly.
  • For non-internet printing protocols, the number of printings is counted for each type of protocol.
  • For internet printing protocols, the number of printings is counted while identifying the transmission source application.

Potential Applications: 1. Print management systems 2. Networked printing solutions 3. Document tracking and monitoring

Problems Solved: 1. Efficient tracking of print jobs 2. Better management of printing resources 3. Identification of transmission source applications

Benefits: 1. Improved print job monitoring 2. Enhanced resource allocation 3. Streamlined printing processes

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in office environments, print service providers, and any organization requiring efficient print job management.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to print job tracking, networked printing, and document management systems for further research.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in print job tracking technologies, networked printing solutions, and document management systems for the latest developments in the field.

Questions about Print Job Tracking: 1. How does the technology differentiate between various printing protocols?

  - The technology uses specific identifiers within the print job data to distinguish between different protocols.

2. What are the implications of accurately tracking print jobs in a networked environment?

  - Accurate print job tracking can lead to better resource management, cost savings, and improved security in networked printing setups.


Original Abstract Submitted

If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is not an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted for each type of printing protocol. If the printing protocol associated with a received print job is an internet printing protocol, the number of times of printing is counted while distinguishing a transmission source application by identifying a transmission source application.
