The fault management system includes a user interface with a display screen upon which a selected one of the first set of attribute values and the second set of attribute values is displayable. The printing system further includes a system, responsive to which one of the first set of attribute values and second set of attribute values is to be displayed on said user interface display screen, for controlling display of one or both of a first set of fault related information and a second set of fault related information on the display screen.

Abstract: There is provided a method for creating a geometric hash tree in a document processing system having a memory. A plurality of images are stored in the memory and organized in a database. Each image includes curve groups wherein each curve group is corresponded with a feature set. The method for creating a geometric hash tree includes the steps of: (1) associating a list of basis triples with an affine coordinate set, the basis triples and the affine coordinate set both varying as a function of the images and their corresponding curve groups; (2) storing both the affine coordinate set and the list of basis triples in the memory; (3) quantizing the affine coordinate set into a plurality of subsets; (4) assigning an order to the plurality of subsets; and (5) creating a geometric hash tree with the quantized affine coordinate set using the order from (4) such that the geometric hash tree is more compact in size than a conventional geometric hash table.

Abstract: A method is provided for a multifunctional printing system in which a plurality of jobs are placed in a queue in anticipation of processing the same. The queue, over time, receives jobs of at least a first user type and a second user type. In operation, first and second jobs of the first user type are placed in the queue. When a third job is ready for placement into the queue, a determination as to whether the third job is of the first user type or the second user type is made. If the third job is of the first user type, then it is processed subsequent to the processing of both the first and second jobs; however, if the third job is of the second user type, then the third job is processed ahead of at least the second job.
