  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REUSE OF COLOR MEASUREMENT DATA FOR COLOR VERIFICATION OF A PRINTER, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, OR MULTI-FUNCTIONAL PERIPHERAL (MFP)
    Publication number: 20190205070
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus, a method and a computer readable medium for color verification of an image forming apparatus are disclosed. The image forming apparatus includes a sensing device configured to read a color chart; and a processor configured to: perform a first color verification job; perform a second color verification job after the first color verification job when the first color verification job is interrupted, the second color verification job including one or more color patches from a previous color verification job; acquire measurement data from the previous color verification job; acquire measurement data from the second color verification job; and determine whether to re-use the measurement data of the previous color verification job based on one or more differences between the measurement data of the previous color verification job and the measurement data of the second color verification job.

  • System and method of determining if users can fix or repair MFP errors in a printing system
    Patent number: 10110772
    Abstract: A method, a system, a server, and a computer readable medium are disclosed for a server connectable to at least one printer to judge an error level, which includes (a) receiving a notification of a given error which has occurred at a given printer; (b) judging on whether there is an unfinished job corresponding to the given printer; (c) judging on whether the unfinished job can be redirected to other printer than the given printer; and (d) determining an error level for displaying the given error based on the judgment at step (c).

  • Method and apparatus for precise signal interpolation
    Patent number: 6650159
    Abstract: An approach for precise signal interpolation. For one aspect, each of the linear resistive elements in a first array of selectable linear resistive elements receives a first input signal. Each of the linear resistive elements is coupled to provide an output signal on a first output signal line. A variable bandwidth-compensating circuit is coupled to the first output signal line to compensate the bandwidth of the output signal.
