ABSTRACT:
A multiple-function copier includes a printer, a scanner, a user interface, and a communications mechanism. The printer is configured to receive print jobs from a network environment. The scanner is operatively coupled with the printer and configured to receive copy jobs from a walk-up user. The printer and the scanner are selectively operative in a print mode and a copy mode. The user interface is associated with one of the printer and the scanner and is accessible by a walk-up user. The user interface is operative to detect submission of a copy job to the scanner by a walk-up user. The communications mechanism is signal coupled with the printer and the scanner, and is operative to automatically configure the printer and the scanner for operation in the copy mode in response to a walk-up user interacting with the user interface. A method is also provided.
