  • Patent number: 9436421
    Abstract: A method of increasing data flow to a printing device includes, with a first raster image processor, converting a document into a first bitmap having a first dot density and representing a black color plane of the document; with a second raster image processor, converting the document into a second bitmap at a second dot density that is a relatively lower dot density than that of the first bitmap, the second bitmap representing other color planes of the document; and transmitting data of the first and second bitmaps to a printing device for printing to a print medium.

  • Patent number: 8934135
    Abstract: A technique includes in a machine, processing data indicative of a document to be printed by a printer and which may contain magnetic ink character recognition (MICR) characters to determine whether the data indicates any MICR characters. The technique includes comparing a result of the determination to an intent indicated by a job ticket associated with the document; and controlling the printing of the document by the printer, including selectively performing corrective action in response to the comparison.

  • Patent number: 8270820
    Abstract: Multimedia content is stored onto a relatively permanent, portable storage medium in accordance with at least two standards that allow the content to be recovered on a playback device with the highest possible resolution and fidelity. Linking between the various types of content stored according to the at least two standards allows the presentation of content at the highest quality possible.

  • Patent number: 8237968
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments of various systems that facilitate the printing of documents. In one representative example, one arrangement includes a plurality of raster image processors, a plurality of frame brokers, and a first digital switch facilitating communication between the raster image processors and frame brokers. The arrangement also includes a plurality of printers and a second digital switch facilitating communication between the frame brokers and the printers. A central control system orchestrates a progression of frames of a plurality of documents through the raster image processors and the frame brokers to the printers.

  • Patent number: 6983328
    Abstract: A system, method and computer-readable medium for using an Internet clipboard service to loosely couple web services by intercepting download and upload actions of a user in web interfaces to streamline information transfer from a source web service to a destination web service. The method includes the steps of: intercepting a user's request, capturing information retrieved for the request, editing the recorded messages, and replaying the messages on an Internet clipboard server to effect the resource transfer.
