Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for secure printing. In one arrangement, the system and method pertain to receiving a document to be printed, determining that the document cannot be printed in its present form, transmitting the document to a computing device, and receiving a print ready version of the document from the computing device. In another arrangement, the system and method pertain to receiving a protected document from a printing device, unprotecting the document, and transmitting the unprotected document back to the printing device so that the printing device can generate a hard copy of the document.

Abstract: The present invention provides a portable computer. In one aspect, the portable computer has a first power mode and a second power mode. The portable computer includes a memory bus and a control system coupled to the memory bus. The control system is configured to operate the memory bus at a first speed in the first power mode and a second speed different than a first speed in a second power mode.

Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention provides a scan line controller for use with a laser scanning device. The scan line controller includes a pulse width modulator system to receive a pulse code, including a first pulse width modulator to receive a first dot clock and a second pulse width modulator to receive a second dot clock, and to provide a video driver signal to a laser unit to provide a scan line from the video driver signal. The scan line controller further includes a space insertion/deletion unit configured to adjust a scan line length by inserting or deleting one or more delays into the first and the second dot clocks.

Abstract: A laser imaging device is described. The laser imaging device includes a laser driver, and a pulse width modulator system. The pulse width modulator system includes a first pulse width modulator having a first operating frequency and a second pulse width modulator having a second operating frequency, which provides to the laser driver a pulse width modulated output signal having a desired modulation frequency greater than the first and second operating frequencies.

Abstract: A laser imaging device is described. The laser imaging device includes a first laser, a second laser, and a controller. The first laser provides a first scan line having a first starting point, and the second laser provides a second scan line having a second starting point based on an adjusted beam detect signal. The controller is configured to generate the adjusted beam detect signal using a delay code and a beam detect signal associated with the second laser to substantially horizontally align the second starting point with the first starting point.

Abstract: Modularized intra-system architectures for printer and multifunction peripheral (MFP) devices are based on disintegrating traditionally highly integrated systems into separate system components which incorporate immerging packet-switched interconnect technologies, such as the open standard RapidIO™. An MFP device has an internal modular architecture which includes each of the main systems integrated onto separate ASIC chips. The systems are interconnected through a switch fabric which routes packet-based data between the systems based on destination addresses embedded in the packets. The packet-based data is routed between the switch fabric and each of the systems through switch IO buses which provide a dedicated, point-to-point connection between the switch fabric and each system.

Abstract: In certain described implementations, a networked device may be configured to perform multiple actions to distribute operational instructions. These actions may include receiving information that is related to operational instructions for the networked device, procuring a file that has installable operational instructions responsive to the received information, and installing the file to an operational instructions space of the networked device.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a system and method for facilitating generation of hard copies. In one arrangement, the system and method involve selecting a document file written in a first language, selecting a translator configured to translate the document file into a second language, and packaging the document file and the translator together in a job package that can be received by a hard copy generation device.
