DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATING WITH AN IMAGE-FORMING DEVICE FROM A MOBILE DEVICE

Systems, devices, and methods for device communication receive, at a proxy device, an image of a barcode that was sent from a mobile device, wherein the barcode includes device information for an image-forming device, and wherein the device information identifies a network of the image-forming device; send the device information from the proxy device to one or more support devices; and at the one or more support devices, determine if the respective support device is connected to the network of the image-forming device, and in response to determining that the respective support device is connected to the network of the image-forming device, generate an output queue for the image-forming device on the support device that is connected to the network of the image-forming device.
