Abstract
A method and system for modifying functionality of a printer. The printer is provided with firmware and programming code that interfaces with the firmware for controlling printing operations. The programming code includes at least one placeholder. Second programming code is provided that, when executed on a processor readable medium, programming code is executed as a function of the at least one placeholder.
A system and method are defined for modifying functionality of a printer that is provided with firmware for controlling printing operations. First programming code is developed that, when executed on a computer readable medium, interfaces with the printer's firmware and modifies the functionality of the printer. The first programming code is written in a first programming language, such as the LUA programming language, and the firmware is written in a second programming language other than the first programming language. Thereafter, the first programming code is executed on the computer readable, and the functionality of the printer is modified as a function of the executed first programming code interfacing with the firmware. The firmware is not modified by the interfacing.
