Methods and systems for printing an address without an external device
The present disclosure discloses methods and systems for printing an address directly on an output medium. The method is implemented at a multi-function device. The method includes providing a user interface for displaying an address print option; based on receiving a selection of the address print option, displaying, by a controller, an address form requiring address details on the user interface, wherein the user provides the address details via the user interface; receiving, by the controller, the address details to be printed on the output medium; and printing, by a printing engine, the address details on the output medium based on receiving a selection of a type of the output medium. The method enables the user to print the address on the output medium without requiring an external device.
1. A method for printing one or more addresses directly on an output medium, comprising:
at a multi-function device:
providing a user interface for displaying an address print option;
based on receiving a selection of the address print option, displaying, by a controller, an address form requiring address details on the user interface, wherein a user provides the address details via the user interface, and wherein the address form further comprises at least an option to select a type of the output medium, a font, and a font size, and a save template option allowing the address form to be saved as a template;
receiving, by the controller, an output medium type selection and the address details to be printed on the output medium; and
automatically adjusting, by the controller, one or more print properties based on receiving the selection of the type of the output medium, wherein the one or more print properties include a controller selected font size based on a print area of the output medium,
printing, by a printing engine, the address details on the output medium based on receiving the selection of the type of the output medium and in accordance with the adjusted one or more print properties,
wherein the method enables the user to print the one or more addresses on the output medium without requiring an external device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the address details comprise at least an address of a receiver.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the address details comprise at least one detail of a sender.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising pasting, by a finisher, the printed address details on a parcel.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising saving, in a memory, a filled out address form as a template for later retrieval and/or use.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising sending, by an email module, the saved template to at least one of one or more multi-function devices and one or more users.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the address form comprising one or more address fields and one or more print options.
8. A multi-function device, comprising:
a user interface to display an address print option;
a controller to:
display an address form requiring address details, on the user interface, upon receiving a selection of the address print option, wherein a user provides the address details via the user interface, and wherein the address form further comprises at least an option to select a type of an output medium, a font, and a font size, and a save template option allowing the address form to be saved as a template; and
receive an output medium type selection and the address details to be printed on the output medium;
automatically adjust one or more print properties based on receiving a selection of the type of the output medium, wherein the one or more print properties include a controller selected font size based on a print area of the output medium, and
a printing engine to print the received address details on the output medium based on receiving the selection of the type of the output medium and in accordance with the adjusted one or more print properties, wherein the multi-function device enables the user to print the address on the output medium without requiring an external device.
9. The multi-function device of claim 8 further comprising a memory to save a filled out address form as a template for later retrieval and/or use.
10. The multi-function device of claim 9 further comprising an email module to send the saved template to at least one of one or more multi-function devices and one or more users.
11. The multi-function device of claim 8 , wherein the address details comprise at least address details of a receiver.
12. The multi-function device of claim 8 , wherein the address details comprise at least one detail of a sender.
13. The multi-function device of claim 8 , further comprising a finisher to paste the printed address details on a parcel.
14. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processing resource to:
provide a user interface to display an address print option;
provide an address form requiring address details on the user interface, wherein a user provides the address details via the user interface, and wherein the address form further comprises at least an option to select a type of an output medium, a font, a font size, and a save template option allowing the address form to be saved as a template;
receive, an output medium type selection and the address details to be printed on the output medium;
automatically adjust one or more print properties based on receiving a selection of the type of the output medium, wherein the one or more print properties include a controller selected font size based on a print area of the output medium; and
print the address details directly on the output medium based on receiving the selection of the type of the output medium and in accordance with the adjusted one or more print properties.
15. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 14 comprising instructions executable by the processing resource to save a filled out address form as a template for later retrieval and/or use.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 14 comprising instructions executable by the processing resource, wherein the address details comprise at least an address of a receiver.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium as claimed in claim 14 comprising instructions executable by the processing resource, wherein the address details comprise at least one detail of a sender.
18. A method for printing one or more addresses directly on an output medium by a multi-function device, comprising:
providing an address print option to a user via a user interface, wherein the user selects a display address option;
receiving a selection of the address print option;
upon selection, providing an address form to be filled out by the user, the address form comprising one or more address fields and one or more print options comprising at least an output medium select option, a font selection option, and a font size selection option, and a save template option allowing the address form to be saved as a template;
receiving address details corresponding to the one or more address fields and a selection of the type of the output medium for address printing; and
based on the selected output medium, automatically adjusting, by a controller of the multi-function device, one or more print properties, wherein the one or more print properties include a controller selected font size based on a print area of the output medium and printing the address details on the output medium in accordance with the adjusted one or more print properties.
