DEVICE INVOKED DECOMMISSION OF MULTIFUNCTION PERIPHERALS

摘要

Systems and methods for decommission of a multifunction peripheral are disclosed. The method comprises receiving user interaction with the multifunction peripheral initiating a decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral, requesting user input of authentication credentials suitable to enable the decommission operation, and accepting user input of authentication credentials. The method further includes transmitting the authentication credentials, along with a request to enable the decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral to an authentication server for authentication, receiving confirmation that the authentication credentials are sufficient to enable decommission of the multifunction peripheral along with decommission instructions to be executed by the multifunction peripheral, and executing the decommission instructions so as to complete the decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral.

1. A method for decommission of a multifunction peripheral comprising:
receiving user interaction initiating a decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral; requesting user input of authentication credentials suitable to enable the decommission operation; accepting user input of authentication credentials; transmitting to an authentication server both the authentication credentials and a request for decommission instructions executable by the multifunction peripheral to perform the decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral; receiving, from the authentication server, both confirmation that the authentication credentials are sufficient to enable decommission of the multifunction peripheral and the decommission instructions to be executed by the multifunction peripheral; and executing the decommission instructions so as to complete the decommission operation for the multifunction peripheral.
