Abstract
A peripheral device on a network has a client function to retrieve data and or to update data in another network resource. The peripheral device also has its own device dependent functions such as printing, copying, faxing and scanning. The peripheral device outputs data retrieved from another network resource and or inputs new data for updating the data existing in another network resource. The retrieving and updating functions are performed by a client control unit of the peripheral device.
