Abstract: A method for synchronizing consumption of a plurality of toners in a printing device by implementing an automated toner Throughput rate reduction is disclosed, comprising steps of detecting levels of the plurality of toners; identifying, based on a given criteria and detected levels, at least one toner out of the plurality of toners that is running low; calculating a Throughput Rate Reduction (TRR) for each of the identified toners; and reducing Toner Throughput Rate (TTR) at the current printing mode for the identified toner by TRR thereby conserving the identified at least one toner. The toners are identified for reduced throughput based on a dynamic threshold that is equal to difference in its level as compared to toner having highest level. Dynamic thresholds for toners is determined either dynamically at beginning of each print job, or periodically at set intervals, or in combination of two.

Abstract: The present application is directed to system and method for pre-generation of page description language (PDL) for printing. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to methods, systems, and computer readable mediums for pre-generating a page description language (PDL) print job for documents for printing. Such pre-generation of the PDL achieves almost instantaneous and efficient printing experience. The methods, systems, and computer readable mediums by pre-generation of the PDL achieves faster printing turnaround time from the time when user clicks “OK” to print the document to the time user picks up the print out is required. The method for pre-generating a PDL print job for a document for printing can determine an instance to pre-generate the PDL print job for the document before the manual election for printing, and issuing a printing instruction in response to a manual election, to send of the pre-generated PDL print job to a printing device.

Abstract: A Toner Saver Feature (TSF) that enables adjustments in toner throughputs thus enhancing a user's control on toner consumption and thereby increasing life of cartridges in printing devices is disclosed. The disclosed TSF is configured to change throughput for each of the plurality of colorants based on at least one Preset Colorant Saver Configuration (Preset) that contains a set of Throughput Rate Reduction (TRR) values for each colorant, and wherein the at least one preset colorant saver configuration is user configurable. TSF enables a user to change the set of TRR values for each of the plurality of colorants individually through a user interface, and save the changed values as one of the Presets. The reduction values get implemented in all modes of printing wherein factory set throughput rates for the current mode get further reduced based on the selected Preset.
