               Application No. 10/033,225                                                                                           

               specified remote storage device, the electronic document is accessed over the link.                                  
               The electronic document is then sent to certain destinations from the multifunction                                  
               device.                                                                                                              
                       Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                                             
                               1.   A method for providing access from a multifunction device to an                                 
                       electronic document at a user-specified remote storage device, comprising:                                   
                               identifying said user-specified remote storage device having said                                    
                       electronic document based at least in part on a path thereto specified by a user                             
                       at said multifunction device;                                                                                
                establishing a link between said multifunction device and a user-specified                                          
                       remote storage device having said electronic document;                                                       
                accessing said electronic document at said user-specified remote storage                                            
                       device from said multifunction device over said link established therebetween;                               
                       and                                                                                                          
                sending said electronic document from said multifunction device.                                                    
                               The examiner relies on the following reference:                                                      
                                                                                                                                   
               Czyszczewski et al.  (Czyszczewski)  6,577,907   June 10, 2003                                                       
                                                                                     (Filed April 24, 2000)                         
                       The following rejection1 is on appeal before us:                                                             
                       Claims 1, 4-12, and 14-27 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being                                   
               unpatentable over Czyszczewski.                                                                                      
                       Rather than repeat the arguments of appellant or the examiner, we make                                       
               reference to the briefs and the answer for the respective details thereof.                                           
                                                                                                                                   
               1 Although arguments were presented in the brief regarding a previous rejection of claims 1 and 12 under 35 U.S.C.   
               § 101 [see brief, pages 5 and 6], the examiner subsequently withdrew this rejection [see answer, page 3; reply brief,
               page 3].                                                                                                             





                                                                 2
