A network system for sending a scan and/or print job to multiple network
destinations based on a single request. In one example, ajob distribution
server module receives a scan or print job request from a computer system
or a peripheral device, such as a multi-function peripheral (MFP) device.
The request may include image data to be sent to multiple network
destinations, such as, for example, printers, fax machines, computers,
email addresses and the like. The server module formats and sends the
data to each of the network destinations, which may process the job at
substantially the same time. In certain embodiments, the server module
provides the user with a graphical interface for selecting network
destinations to be associated with a particular virtual port or virtual
printer. Furthermore, embodiments of the system allow for sending of scan
jobs directly from the peripheral device.
