<p>PURPOSE: A method and a system for printing documents from a portable device are provided to allow a user to download a document corresponding to a document optical code from a server and print the document through a printer by obtaining and displaying the document optical code for identifying a document. CONSTITUTION: During operation, a system for printing documents from a portable device receives at an email server(120) an email(100) which includes an attached document. Next, the system generates at the email server a document optical code(130) associated with the document, wherein the document optical code can be scanned and recognized by a scanning mechanism associated with a printer. Subsequently, the system attaches the optical code as an additional attachment to the email, thereby allowing a portable device(140) to print the attached document by displaying the optical code to the scanning mechanism associated with the printer.</p> |
