Abstract
The present invention allows the operation of an attached external input device by a printer. The external input device may be, for example, a scanner or digital camera giving the printer the capability to function as a copier. Software to control or 'drive' the input device is optionally contained within the printer ROM or can be downloaded dynamically from the host computer or from another source. Because the software to drive the input device can be downloaded to the printer dynamically, a wide variety of devices can be used.
