<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for implementing locking function on a printer simply and user-friendly. <P>SOLUTION: A user uses a keypad device and inputs a job ID associated with a particular print job (or a general ID associated with users) when the user specifies printing of print jobs stored to release all print jobs associated with a particular user, all print jobs not yet printed, or all print jobs. Print jobs may alternatively be identified by date. The method may also include a user viewing a list of available locked print jobs on a user interface of the printer, along with the associated job IDs. The method may further include the use of a Web server on the printer to generate and provide a Web page that lists stored print jobs and their associated job IDs. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
