Devices, systems, and methods for communicating with an image-forming device from a mobile device

摘要

Systems, devices, and methods for device communication receive, at a proxy device, an image of a barcode that was sent from a mobile device, wherein the barcode includes device information for an image-forming device, and wherein the device information identifies a network of the image-forming device; send the device information from the proxy device to one or more support devices; and at the one or more support devices, determine if the respective support device is connected to the network of the image-forming device, and in response to determining that the respective support device is connected to the network of the image-forming device, generate an output queue for the image-forming device on the support device that is connected to the network of the image-forming device.

1. A method for device communication, the method comprising:
receiving, at a proxy device, device information that was sent from a mobile device, wherein the device information includes network information of an image-forming device and was extracted from a barcode captured by the mobile device; sending the device information from the proxy device to one or more support devices; and at the one or more support devices,
determining if the image-forming device can communicate with a respective support device, andin response to determining that the image-forming device can communicate with the respective support device, generating an output queue for the image-forming device on the respective support device that can communicate with the image-forming device.
