`
`ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION (Redlined Version)
`
`A system andlor method enables atypical PC user to add electronic paper processing to
`
`their existing business process. The system andfor method extends the notion of copying from a
`
`messes-that-involves paper passing going through a conventional copier device. to a process that
`
`involves scanning paper be-i-ng-scanned from a E device and copying the image of
`
`that paper copied to a remotely-located second device . l-n—its-more
`
` @ system andior method can optionally copy paper from a @ device at
`
`one-location directly into a business application residing on a network or on the Internet. or visa
`
`versa. The system andlor method includes [[is]] software that manages paper so that it can be
`
`electronically and seamlessly copied in and out of devices and business applications without
`
`needing to modify said devices or applications.

`ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION (Clean Version)
`
`A system andlor method enables a typical PC user to add electronic paper processing
`
`to their existing business process. The system andlor method extends the notion of copying
`
`from paper passing through a conventional copier, to a process that involves scanning paper
`
`from a first device and copying the image of that paper to a remotely-located second device.
`
`The system and/or method can optionally copy paper from a first device directly into a business
`
`application residing on a network or on the Internet, or visa versa. The system andlor method
`
`includes software that manages paper so that it can be electronically and seamlessly copied in
`
`and out of devices and business applications without needing to modify said devices or
