System and method for managing removable mechanical modifications to a printing device
A method of managing removable mechanical modifications to one or more printing devices, including receiving, by one or more computer processors, an input related to a removable mechanical modification of a printing device of the one or more printing devices, and determining, by the one or more computer processors, a location of the removable mechanical modification.
1. A method of managing removable mechanical modifications to one or more printing devices, comprising:
receiving, by one or more computer processors, an input related to a removable mechanical modification of a printing device of the one or more printing devices;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, that the input is related to a request for a location of the removable mechanical modification;
determining, by the one or more computer processors, the location; and,
sending, by the one or more computer processors, the location.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the input is received from the printing device.
3. The method as recited in claim 2 , wherein:
the removable mechanical modification is detected by a sensor of the printing device; and,
the input is received from a transmitter of the printing device.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the removable mechanical modification comprises modifying a feeder tray of the printing device to include an adjustable leveling assembly.
5. The method as recited in claim 4 , wherein the input is received from a transmission device of the adjustable leveling assembly.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the step of sending the location comprises:
sending, by the one or more computer processors, a name of the printing device.
7. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the step of sending the location comprises:
displaying, by the one or more computer processors, the location on a user interface.
8. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the one or more computer processors, that the input is not related to a request for the location; and,
storing, by the one or more computer processors, the location.
9. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
sending, by the one or more computer processors, an alert indicating that a removable mechanical modification to the feeder tray exists.
10. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
sending, by one or more computer processors, a notification to monitor an output stacker of the printing device.
11. A computer system for managing removable mechanical modifications to a printing system, comprising:
at least one printing device, including:
a feeder tray;
an output stacker; and,
a first user interface;
an adjustable leveling assembly including a transmission device;
one or more computer processors;
one or more computer readable storage media;
program instructions stored on the computer readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more computer processors, the program instructions comprising:
program instructions to receive an input related to a removable mechanical modification; and,
program instructions to determine a location of the removable mechanical modification.
12. The computer system as recited in claim 11 , wherein the removable mechanical modification comprises the arrangement of the adjustable leveling assembly on the feeder tray.
13. The computer system as recited in claim 12 , wherein the input is received from the first user interface.
14. The computer system as recited in claim 12 , wherein the input is received from the transmission device of the adjustable leveling assembly.
15. The computer system as recited in claim 12 , further comprising:
program instructions to determine that the input is related to a request for the location; and,
program instructions to send the location.
16. The computer system as recited in claim 12 , further comprising:
program instructions to determine that the input is not related to a request for the location; and,
program instructions to store the location.
17. The computer system as recited in claim 16 , further comprising:
program instructions to send an alert indicating that the adjustable leveling assembly is arranged on the feeder tray.
18. The computer system as recited in claim 16 , further comprising:
program instructions to send an alert indicating that the adjustable leveling assembly is arranged on the feeder tray; and,
program instructions to send a notification to monitor the output stacker.
19. A method of managing removable mechanical modifications to a plurality of printing devices, comprising;
receiving an indication that a feeder tray of a printing device of the plurality of printing devices has been modified to include an adjustable leveling assembly;
determining a location of the printing device;
storing the location; and,
sending an alert indicating that the adjustable leveling assembly is arranged on the feeder tray.
