Abstract

A system for facilitating the remote printing of a document by using a mobile device to pair a visually displayable code with a printer by associating the code with a confirmation code printed or conveyed by the printer.

Claims (24)

1 . A system for facilitating the remote printing of a document, comprising:

an image capture device;

a processing device in communication with the image capture device;

an input device in communication with the processing device;

an output device in communication with the processing device; and

a memory in communication with the processing device, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processing device result in:

receiving, from the input device and by the processing device, data identifying a printer;

receiving, from the image capture device and by the processing device, a code to be associated with the printer;

transmitting, by the output device and to the printer, a command to print or convey a confirmation code;

receiving, from the image capture device and by the processing device, the confirmation code; and

associating, the printer code with the printer that printed or otherwise conveyed the confirmation code.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processing device, further result in:

providing, by the output device and to a user, a menu listing a plurality of available printers.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting is conducted by transmitting the command to print or convey a confirmation code to a server in communication with the selected printer.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the command comprises a command to the printer to provide a visual indication of the confirmation code via an electronic display.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the command comprises a command to the printer to print a confirmation sheet including a visual indication of the confirmation code.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the printer code or confirmation code is received via the input device.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein associating the printer label with the printer that printed or conveyed the confirmation code comprises the creation of one or more entries in a database.

8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the printer code or confirmation code are defined in a two-dimensional barcode format.

9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the printer code and/or confirmation code are defined in a three-dimensional barcode format.

10 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the transmitting further includes information about the physical location of the printer;

11 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the association further includes storing information about the physical location of the printer.

12 . A system for facilitating the remote printing of a document comprising:

using a mobile device to pair a visually displayable code or label with a printer by associating the code with a confirmation code printed or conveyed by the printer.
