Appeal No. 2001-0954
Application No. 08/977,193
Turning lastly to claim 13, appellant argues (brief, pages
13 and 14) that “the paper color detector in Imai is used in
coordination with an ‘ink remaining’ function to determine if
enough ink resides in the system to print . . . , ” whereas “the
present invention of claim 13 requires a first and second paper
tray to be loaded with different color paper and that when a
facsimile user profile includes a specification of paper color
for fax output, that the paper tray containing the specified
color be enabled.” We agree. The obviousness rejection of claim
13 is reversed.
