Embodiment Construction

[0021] Various embodiments of multifunction printers are capable of printing on time-based media in useful, intelligent formats. To produce such time-based media representations, the printer produces a printout and associated electronic output that together provide a representation of the receiving media. Depending on the desired use of the printer, the printer may include any number of devices for receiving media, printing printouts, and generating electronic output. The user interface referred to generally applies not only to the specific combinations of input and output devices described herein, but also to additional combinations not specifically disclosed, as will be understood by those skilled in the art from the present disclosure .

Abstract

A multifunction printer capable of printing time-based media and operable through a user interface. The user interface includes a touch screen for accepting command input and providing information to the user. The printer receives time-based media data from a media source specified via the user interface. The user specifies one or more multimedia processing functions for the printer to apply to the data. The printer performs specified functions and allows the user to preview the output via the display of the user interface. If the user decides to print the previewed output, the user specifies one or more output devices so that the printer can print conventional printouts and / or specified electronic output.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to a printer that has built-in functionality for printing time-based media, and more particularly to a user interface for a printer that prints time-based media that combines printouts and associated electronic Data output combined. Background technique [0002] Traditional printers receive files in various formats and print the contents of the files in the correct format. For example, a printer capable of printing a Portable Document Format (PDF) file will be able to reproduce the file exactly as it was, so that the file can be viewed regardless of the platform being used. [0003] Today, with more databases and computer networks interconnecting, people often have multiple data systems and destinations for storing information. For example, a person may receive an e-mail containing information that he wants to keep. The operator wants to print some or all of the information. The operator also wants to add the...
