  • Publication number: 20070236723
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are disclosed for determining the restart point for reprinting of a print job, such as for continuous forms printers. A method of the invention includes a step of processing the print job to identify logical pages in the print job. Another step includes mapping the logical pages to sheets on which the logical pages will be subsequently printed to generate a page-to-sheet data structure. If there is a request to reprint the print job, then the method includes another step of identifying a logical page from which to initiate reprinting of the print job based on input from all operator. Another step includes identifying a sheet corresponding with the logical page based on the page-to-sheet data structure to allow for reprinting of the print job from the identified sheet. When the sheet is identified, reprinting may begin from the identified sheet.

  • Publication number: 20050094173
    Abstract: A method, computer program product and system for managing font resources using system independent references. A resource library may store a table, referred to herein as the “resource access table” that contains an entry for each base font resource. Each entry may include the following information on a base font resource: a native name, a file name, a unique identification, attributes, and possibly a link list used to identify any font resources that are linked to the base font resource. Since changes to the resource file such as updating a version of a font resource, changing the attributes of the font resource or changing the font resource's linked fonts, simply require an update to the resource access table, the data stream and the application program generating that data stream does not have to be changed.
