Patent number: 8543915Abstract: According to techniques described herein, print job attributes are checked to identify potential conflicts and potential invalid settings. According to one embodiment of the invention, a job setting manager process executing on a printing device is configured to examine and store print job attributes as detected by print interpreter modules. According to an embodiment of the invention, the job setting manager maintains a data structure comprising print job attributes, their values, and other information. As each interpreter module detects a job setting in the print data, the job setting manager receives this setting and its value and checks the data structure to identify conflicts between previously-set job attributes and whether the requested job attribute is supported by the destination printing device. According to an embodiment of the invention, if a conflict is identified, a notification is produced.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2007Date of Patent: September 24, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Company, Ltd.Inventors: Yue Liu, Kurt Knodt

Patent number: 7602972Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that facilitates detecting white space tables within a document, wherein a white space table is comprised of text arranged in rows and columns, wherein at least some of the rows and columns are separated by bands of white space rather than by lines. The system operates by identifying an area that includes consecutive lines of text objects with an amount of white space between text objects greater than a specified value. Note that a text object is a string of text without an amount of white space greater than the specified value. The system then determines if the text objects on consecutive lines have widths that are within a specified tolerance of each other. If so, the system checks the spaces between the consecutive lines of text objects to determine if they belong to a single white space table or multiple white space tables.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2005Date of Patent: October 13, 2009Assignee: Adobe Systems, IncorporatedInventors: Bryan Z. Wei, Shawn A. Gaither
