  • Method for selecting a finishing device for digital printing
    Patent number: 6930791
    Abstract: Methods for selecting finishing devices to perform finishing operations on a print run. The print job contains demands for which finishing operations must be performed on the print run. The printing device contains suggestions for which finishing operations may, but need not, be performed on the print run. In operation, the printing device selects a finishing device that can perform all demands and a maximum number of suggestions. The suggested finishing operations are stored in a memory of the printing device and may be defaults or entered by a printer operator. Upon selecting the finishing device, the printing device directs the print run to the selected finishing device for processing.

  • Method for using a user interface to resolve mismatches between printer resources and print job requirements
    Patent number: 6865354
    Abstract: A printer may detect a mismatch between print job attributes and available printer resources. The printer may then determine one or more options to correct the mismatch and may display these options on a user interface screen. The printer may then receive a selection of one of the options, for example from a printer operator. Based on the selection, the printer may take an action to resolve the mismatch.

  • Method of resolving mismatches between printer resources and print job requirements
    Patent number: 6823147
    Abstract: Methods for detecting mismatches between print job attributes and printer resources and capabilities that arise after rendering of the print job has begun but before rendering is complete. The method involves detecting the mismatch, placing the print job in a mismatch state and notifying the operator through the printer user interface that a given problem has occurred on a given page.
