  • DETECTING REUSABLE CONTENT IN A SEQUENCE OF DRAWING COMMANDS
    Publication number: 20190095415
    Abstract: A method to detect reusable groups of drawing commands in a sequence of drawing commands. Drawing commands are identified by checksums. Recurring and co-occurring drawing commands are combined into groups of drawing commands. Under certain conditions such a group can be replaced by a new drawing command, making the group reusable.

  • Method, apparatus, computer program, and computer readable storage media for configuring a printer driver
    Patent number: 8797558
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring a printer driver where default settings of a printer on which a job is to be printed are queried by a printer driver of a client computer. The default settings can be, for example, stored in the printer itself, or in a storage medium or in a database in some other location that is accessible to the client computer. Depending on the default settings of the printer, default settings of the driver are configured.

  • Method, apparatus, computer program, and computer readable storage media for controlling the insertion of tab sheets into a print job
    Patent number: 8711374
    Abstract: A method for controlling within a printer driver the insertion of tab sheets into a print job. According to one embodiment, sheets of multiple levels are insertable. The printer driver provides at least input fields for entry and display of parameters for the definition of at least one tab sheet, and an interactive area for visualizing the hierarchical structure and the order of the at least one defined tab sheet corresponding to the level of the tab sheet in the print job. Depending on changes of a tab sheet defined by entered parameters, the visualization of the hierarchical structure and the order of the at least one defined tab sheet in the print job is updated in the interactive area.
