Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of the disclosure provide systems, methods, and apparatuses for leveraging near field communications (NFC) in conjunction with printer devices. Examples of the disclosure provide for novel methods of interfacing with printers configured to use near field communications using NFC enabled readers and output media. Examples include using a smart phone to access data stored on an NFC tag associated with the printer. The data provided by the NFC tag may include printer status information, printer configuration information, network information, or other data relating to operation and maintenance of the printer. The printer may also encode the NFC tag dynamically, including encoding data to NFC tags included on print media. The printer may encode an NFC tag associated with media with a variety of information in support of various use cases.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: generating a near field communication (NFC) field using an NFC enabled device; receiving, from an NFC tag associated with a printer, a set of data associated with the printer in response to the generated NFC field, wherein the set of data comprises information indicating data stored in at least one sector of the NFC tag; and determining a source for information related to the printer based on the data stored in the at least one secto…
