                Application 10/007,829                                                                        


                F.2d 781, 783, 26 USPQ2d 1529, 1531 (Fed. Cir. 1993); Uniroyal, Inc. v.                       
                Rudkin-Wiley Corp., 837 F.2d 1044, 1051, 5 USPQ2d 1434, 1438 (Fed. Cir.                       
                1988); Ashland Oil, Inc. v. Delta Resins & Refractories, Inc., 776 F.2d 281,                  
                293, 227 USPQ 657, 664 (Fed. Cir. 1985).                                                      
                      Upon a review of Farros ‘686, we agree with the Examiner that                           
                generic access instructions are downloaded to a client’s browser, as shown                    
                in Figure 2, which allow the client to access the stored images as a part of                  
                the client browser.  Farros ‘686 relates to processing remote printing for                    
                electronically designed and transmitted print designs (col. 1, ll. 52-60) such                
                as business cards (col. 1, ll. 11-16) through downloaded Web pages in a                       
                client browser and accessing the user information files residing on a remote                  
                server (col. 2, ll. 8-16).  Farros ‘686 further provides a graphical Web page                 
                through the browser interface on the client’s system for client’s interaction                 
                with the printing system (col. 4, ll. 13-19).  Farros ‘686 also describes                     
                imaging repositories that may be accessed by the client when a printing                       
                order is to be placed (col. 4, ll. 29-34).                                                    
                      We also find that the Examiner has properly read the claims in light of                 
                the Specification to determine the claimed terms such as “imaging                             
                extension” which is taught by Farros ‘686 as discussed above.  The instant                    
                Specification describes “imaging extension” 310, depicted in Figure 3, as                     
                application programming instructions or a gateway for interfacing with                        
                system-wide standards an accessing the user’s repository (Specification 9-                    
                10).   To the extent disclosed, the user interface of Farros ‘686 discloses the               
                functionalities and the features of such imaging extension and provides the
