Patent number: 8164766Abstract: A method is provided for enabling adaptive print job content processing as a function of the electronic format and content of files, received by a digital print production environment providing access to a display in the form of a user interface able to select job content processing options. The method includes receiving a print job in one or more electronic format files, with the print job including supplementary information for one or more electronic format files. Depending on the electronic format of the files, job programming options are structured, with options including parameter(s), parameter value(s), and parameter selectability. Programming options are presented on the user interface for review and possible modification by an operator. A determination is made as to whether any operator modifications have been indicated. If operator modifications have been indicated, the parameter value(s) affected are adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2006Date of Patent: April 24, 2012Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jean-Pierre R M. van de Capelle, Katherine Loj, Michael E.

Patent number: 7433061Abstract: A system supports page exception programming in a document reproduction system without requiring cursor control to identify each page subject to exception processing. The exception page selector receives input that uses a naming convention to identify pages within a document for exception programming. The naming convention may include an odd/even designation, an imposition template identifier and/or page numerals. An exception programmer enables an operator to correlate different device color profiles for pages identified by the exception page selector. Exception parameters that may also be correlated to pages identified by the exception page selector include anti-aliasing, trapping, black overprinting parameters, and other known printing parameters.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2004Date of Patent: October 7, 2008Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jean-Pierre R.

Patent number: 7277196Abstract: A system and method for printer control and color balance calibration. The system and method address the image quality problems of print engine instability, low quality of color balance and contouring from the calibration. The method includes defining combinations of colorants, such as inks or toners that will be used to print images, defining a desired response for the combinations that are to be used and, in real time, iteratively printing CMY halftone color patches, measuring the printed patches via an in situ sensor and iteratively performing color-balance calibration based on the measurements, accumulating corrections until the measurements are within a predetermined proximity of the desired response. The calibration is performed on the halftones while they are in a high quantization resolution form.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2003Date of Patent: October 2, 2007Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Jean-Pierre R.

Patent number: 7019755Abstract: The invention provides a method for processing a document to be rendered in which rendering intent selection is based on input color space. In one aspect, the method includes the following steps: a) identifying an object type for an object in the document; b) identifying an input color space of the document; c) selecting a rendering intent for the document based on the object type and the input color space; and d) processing the document using the selected rendering intent. In another aspect, the method includes the following steps: a) identifying an object type for each object in the document; b) identifying an input color space of the document; c) selecting a rendering intent for each object in the document based on the object type and the input color space; and d) processing the document using the selected rendering intent(s).Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2003Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Sharon A. Krueger, Jean-Pierre R. M. Van de Capelle

Publication number: 20040257595Abstract: A color output device is generally driven by at least three independent control signals for control of its response. A desired response in device independent color space is normally obtained by employing a cascade consisting of a characterization transform and calibration transform. The calibration transform transforms input control variables into output control variables that are directly used to drive the device. Input control variables can be transformed into intermediate control variables, which can be then mapped to output control variables utilizing a two-dimensional transformation. The two-dimensional calibration architecture provides improved control functionality and flexibility.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2003Publication date: December 23, 2004Applicant: Xerox CorporationInventors: Gaurav Sharma, Raja Bala, Jean-Pierre R.M Van de Capelle, Martin S.
