ABSTRACT:
An imaging apparatus using a reusable software architecture implemented in to significantly cut development time and costs while providing flexibility for implementation of a wide variety of imaging apparatus. An imaging apparatus in which software control is separated into discrete modules and in which many of the modules may be reused in subsequent apparatus to create new imaging apparatus. An apparatus where software reuse is facilitated by the ability to remove a single module or a subtree consisting of many modules by breaking a single communication link. Software control is provided for a plurality of imaging products utilizing reusable software control modules. A method of providing software control for a plurality of imaging products is disclosed. Separate and independent software modules control input media, image retrieval, image placement, output media and the user interface. A separate product executive software module governs and synchronizes each of the separate and independent software control modules. Only the product executive software module needs to be unique for each separate new imaging apparatus. The product executive means has only one-way downward communication with each of the separate and independent software control modules. Preferably, all communication is transparent as provided by a remote procedure call. There is no direct communication between each of the separate and independent software control modules.
