Patent number: 8904283Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for generating and associating meta-data with a final form presentation datastream document where the meta-data is structured in accordance with the datastream component architectures. Meta-data objects (“MDOs”) are architected as components of a presentation document and thus are well defined to allow applications to reliably access and process the meta-data contained therein. The MDOs may be associated with other components of the document and are architected to be extensible and flexible while still adhering to an architectural structure. The MDOs may be descriptive (no affect in document presentation) or operational (affects document presentation if processed). Standard types of MDOs may include XML standard information, JDF standard information, PWG standard information, and digital signature information. A variety of standard categories further define typical meta-data forms and applications thereof.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2010Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: Ricoh Production Print Solutions LLCInventors: John B. Condon, Reinhard H. Hohensee, Harry R. Lewis, Scott D. Mastie, Charles M. Sauer, David E. Stone, Howard L. Turetzky, Douglas I. Ward

Patent number: 8504916Abstract: Methods and structures for improved font management providing for selection of one or more subsets of a selected typeface font in a font management program. A user is presented with information identifying one or more subsets of related code points in a selected typeface in a font management program. By selecting one or more subsets from the presented information, the user may reduce wasted presentation or management of code points in the typeface that are not presently of interest to the user. For example, when managing a Unicode typeface, a user may be prompted to select one or more language subsets prior to printing/displaying a matrix of the glyphs of the selected typeface. The presentation of glyphs or other code point information may then be limited to only the selected one or more subsets.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Ricoh Production Print Solutions LLCInventors: Thomas P. Buchanan, Jeffery A. Engelman, James M. Herold, David E. Stone

Patent number: 8248652Abstract: Methods and systems herein provide for flexible formatting of print jobs and their associated logical pages. One N-up printing system is adapted to receive a print job from a host system for printing to a tangible medium. The print job includes at least a first logical page. The printing system includes an N-up formatter interface adapted to receive formatting parameters. The printing system also includes an N-up formatter that is communicatively coupled to the N-up formatter interface. The N-up formatter is adapted to generate a first page inclusion object based on the formatting parameters. The N-up formatter is further adapted to input the first logical page to the first page inclusion object and position the first logical page within the first page inclusion object.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2008Date of Patent: August 21, 2012Assignee: Ricoh Productions Print Solutions LLCInventors: Glenn Wardell, David E.

Patent number: 7990577Abstract: A command is provided as a means to instruct a printer to pre-rasterize and store presentation objects according to specified presentation parameters. The stored rasterized objects are available to the printer for use during printing when a print job is submitted to the printer which includes a presentation object already rasterized, saving significant processing at print time. The rasterized objects are stored with information identifying the object and the parameters used in the rasterization process and the printer is enabled to identify the appropriate rasterized object for inclusion in the print job. Objects may also be selected by a printer at print time as most closely matching the required parameters and then adjusted as needed at print time to completely conform with the requirements of inclusion in the job. This capability allows the printer to perform trimming-on-the-fly or other real-time operations while enjoying the time-saving benefits of a pre-rasterized object.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2009Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: Ricoh Production Print Solutions LLCInventors: Jean M. Aschenbrenner, Reinhard H. Hohensee, David E. Stone, John T. Varga, Rose E. Visoski, Glenn Wardell

Patent number: 7586628Abstract: A method and system for providing a printer for printing an encoded data stream. The stream includes a section of complex text data. The code is preferably Unicode, and the complex text data is preferably Unicode complex text. The printer includes a font, a text parser, and a layout engine. The font includes a plurality of glyphs. The text parser parses the data stream to determine the section of complex text data in the data stream. The layout engine is coupled to the text parser and with the font. The layout engine receives the section of complex text data from the text parser and determines at least one of the plurality of glyphs and glyph positions corresponding to the section of complex text data.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2003Date of Patent: September 8, 2009Assignee: Infoprint Solutions Company, LLCInventors: Jeffery A.
