Abstract: Pixel blocks of a user-generated print job raster page are clustered into raster color clusters, and pixel blocks of a corresponding scanned page are clustered into scanned color clusters. For each raster color cluster, if a color difference between the cluster and a corresponding scanned color cluster is greater than a threshold, color fading of the cluster is determined from simulated depletion of each colorant of a printing device, and a likely depleted colorant is determined based on the corresponding scanned color cluster and the determined color fading. A most likely depleted colorant is determined from the likely depleted colorant predicted for each raster color cluster for which the determined color difference is greater than the threshold.

Abstract: A server system comprising storage devices, processing devices and a storage fabric all operating according to a storage fabric protocol. The storage fabric comprises a plurality of individual switches having a modular design from which an overall switch is built, and the individual switches have individual respective configuration settings which determine which processing devices are allocated to use which of the storage devices. The system comprises an API enabling a software control function to configure the overall switch. The API is operable to receive from the control function an overall mapping of the storage devices to the processing devices instead of requiring the individual configuration settings of each of the individual switches to be specified by the control function, the API being configured to convert the overall mapping into the individual configuration settings of the individual switches to produce the overall mapping.

Further provided are articles of manufacture useful for such methods.

Abstract: The present application includes devices and methods for using corrective data for a reconstructed table. In some examples, a computing device can generate a key from a reconstructed table, determine corrective data for the reconstructed table based on the generated key, and implement the corrective data to the reconstructed table to generate an updated table.

Abstract: In one example, a printer with adaptive sampling includes a print engine, a monochrome scanner, a light source, and an analysis module. The light source has independently controlled primaries oriented to illuminate a media from the print engine. The analysis module includes a page selection module to select a chosen page of media for analysis, a heuristic analysis module to analyze the chosen page and determine a region of the page for analysis, a light control module to select a mono-color for the light source in region on the chosen page, and a quality module to accept an image of the chosen page and a scan of the chosen page with the monochrome scanner illuminated by the selected mono-color and compare the image and the scan within the region to determine a discrepancy.

Abstract: In example implementations, a method executed by a processor is provided. The method determines an amount of video information that is lost in a video frame due to compression. A drift correction is applied to the video frame to add back a percentage of the amount of video information that is lost. The video frame is encoded with the drift correction.

Abstract: In some examples, print quality diagnosis may include aligning corresponding characters between a scanned image of a printed physical medium aligned to a master image associated with generation of the printed physical medium to generate a common mask. Print quality diagnosis may further include determining, for each character of the scanned image, an average value associated with pixels within the common mask, and determining, for each corresponding character of the master image, the average value associated with pixels within the common mask. Further, print quality diagnosis may include determining, for each character of the common mask, a metric between the average values associated with the corresponding characters in the scanned and master images.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method for determining fusing energy per page based on an applied voltage is described. According to the method, a resistance of a fusing system is acquired and an input voltage of a fusing system is estimated. A duty ratio of the fusing system is measured and a fusing energy per processed page is then determined based on the input voltage, the fusing system resistance, and the duty ratio of the fusing system. A media weight is then determined based on the fusing energy per processed page.

Abstract: Examples herein involve retrieving a color transformation from a highlighter color transform, and processing an image using the color transformation to enhance highlighter colors in the image, the image scanned by a scanner using strobed illumination.

Abstract: A device includes a processor and associated memory; and a compressor for compressing data representing an electronic document, the electronic document comprising a number of objects. The compressor is to determine for each object of the document whether data of that object is to be compressed with lossy or lossless compression and to compress the data accordingly to generate a compressed electronic document.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a method for determining media weight is described. According to the method, an energy used by a fusing system over a time interval is calculated and a number of pages processed by the fusing system during that time interval is determined. A fusing energy per processed page is then determined based on the energy used by the fusing system and the number of pages processed by the fusing system during the time interval. A media weight is then determined based on the fusing energy per processed page.

Abstract: An electrophotographic imager includes a photoconductive element, a charger, and a light source to expose areas of a charged surface of the photoconductive element to form a latent image. A development element is coupled relative to the photoconductive element to develop, via charged marking agent, the latent image on the photoconductive element. An exposure adjustment factor is selectively applied, prior to the exposing, to a first printable area of the latent image.
