Abstract: An adaptive interface for use in conjunction with a digital printing system identifies a user and, based on the user's identity, self-configures into a command-responsive display expressly tailored to the user. The interface displays those system resources most relevant to the particular user based on factors such as authorization level, prior usage patterns, position within an organization, whether the user has jobs pending, or any other characteristics relevant to system utilization. The user is free to directly control the resources presented in the user interface, e.g., by touching icons on the display corresponding to different selections.

Abstract: Measuring the printed image characteristics of printed output from a digital printer by sending test pattern data to a digital printer and generating a printed image of the test pattern data. The printed image is scanned, and digital pattern data is output. The digital pattern data is analyzed to generate one or more quantitative ratings with respect to one or more printed image characteristics.
