Abstract

See full text

A copying machine (10) includes copying circuitry (14) controlled by a copier processor (12). The copier processor (12) gathers and generates status information for the copying machine (10) and this status information is transmitted to a remote processor by a wireless transceiver (18). A transceiver processor (16) may be used to analyze the status information and control operation of the wireless transceiver (18). The wireless transceiver (18) may also receive information and corrective action in response to the transmitted status information for use by the copier processor (12) in controlling operation of the copying circuitry (14). A monitoring network can be formed using a plurality of copying machines (10) that send status information to a base processor (22) through a base transceiver (24). The base processor (22) can initiate appropriate action in response to received status information. A store and forward repeater (26) may be used to allow the base processor (22) to communicate with copying machines out of range of the wireless transceiver operational area.
