`
`The purpose of the Virtual Copier invention PVC”) is to
`enable a typical PC user lo add eleclronic paper processing
`to their existing business process. VC‘ is an extension of the
`concept we understand as copying. In its simplest form it
`extends the notion of copying from a process that involves
`paper going through a conventional copier device,
`to a
`process Ihal involves paper being scanned from a device al
`one location and copied to a device at another location. In its
`more sophisticated form, VC can copy paper from a device
`at one location directly into a business application residing
`on a network or on the Internet, or visa versa.
