20120314239	PROTECTING SCANS USING REMOTE SCAN INITIATION MODE AND AUTHORIZATION - Systems and methods allow remote computerized devices to control the scanner of an apparatus through the communications port of the apparatus. Additionally, systems and methods provide a user-selectable remote start option on the graphic user interface of the apparatus and require input of user credentials through the graphic user interface when a user selects the remote start option. The scanner is placed into private mode when a user selects the remote start option, which restricts scanner control to only those of the remote computerized devices that provide the proper user credentials. Further, a user-selectable private mode release option is provided on the graphic user interface, which requires input of the user credentials through the graphic user interface. When scanning, the scanner produces scanned images, which are released through the communications port to only those of the remote computerized devices that provide the proper user credentials. Additionally, in said private mode the user's original documents can, optionally, be protected via a lockable cover controllable by the remote start option.	12-13-2012
20130335792	DETECTING COMMON ERRORS IN REPEATED SCAN WORKFLOWS BY USE OF JOB PROFILE METRICS - Methods perform at least two different segments of a scan job by sequentially scanning the different segments using an optical scanner. Each of the different segments is scanned with the optical scanner manually set to different settings. The methods automatically combine the different settings to produce a recurring scan workflow. The recurring scan workflow includes such different settings of the different segments and information of the number of pages scanned in each of the different segments. Further, such methods perform at least one later scan job having later segments corresponding to the different segments of the original scan job after creating the recurring scan workflow. During the later scan job the computerized device automatically changes settings of the optical scanner between the later segments, without requiring the user to manually change the different settings between the later segments.	12-19-2013
