  • Patent number: 10324665
    Abstract: A method for processing with a document processing system is provided. The method includes generating a sheet assembly by executing a production route model of at least one function leading to a plurality of actions, the sheet assembly including a set of transitions that result from invocation of the plurality of actions, extracting from the sheet assembly a document imposition recipe including a set of imposition descriptions generated by computing transformations and parameters for each transition performed on the sheet assembly, and rendering the imposition descriptions of the document imposition recipe on behalf of at least one source file in order to deliver impositions in a source format describing at least placement of content of pages of the source file and action marks for subsequent displaying of the impositions on a user interface of the document processing system and/or for subsequent processing on the at least one printer and/or an the at least one finisher.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10059556
    Abstract: A system and a method for automatically processing a plurality of sheets. The method includes receiving printing instructions, receiving finishing instructions, after printing, in order to form a stack of printed and finished sheets, the finishing instructions includes an instruction to create a new target stack edge extending in a direction of a stack height on each of the plurality of sheets, printing a mark on each sheet of a group of sheets of the plurality of sheets, the mark intended to hit the new target stack edge in a group of at least one target hit point, and finishing the plurality of printed sheets according to the finishing instructions to create a new actual stack edge. A plurality of actual hit points form a pattern on the new actual stack edge and comprises a continuous proportional indication for a degree of correctness of the printing and/or finishing operation.

  • Patent number: 9509865
    Abstract: Device for receiving a reprographic job comprising a first processing step on a media by a first processing apparatus and a second, subsequent processing step on the media by a second processing apparatus, wherein the media that are to be output by the first processing apparatus are to be subjected to media handling operations between the first processing step and the second processing step comprising unloading from the first processing apparatus, intermediate media handling operations, and loading in the second processing apparatus; the device comprising: a controller arranged for creating or receiving the reprographic job; the controller being further arranged to access a storage storing configuration information on the second processing apparatus, the configuration information relating to loading media in the second processing apparatus; wherein the controller is arranged to specify the first processing step in the first specification in the reprographic job in order to simplify the media handling operatio
