Abstract: A method and apparatus to perform a printing job by adjusting color information include updating a predetermined color conversion table stored in an image forming device by inputting color adjustment information from a user, and performing the printing job using the updated color conversion table. Accordingly, the printing job is performed by adjusting color information regardless of whether an emulator of the image forming device supports a color adjustment function, increasing the efficiency of the printing operation. Additionally, when printing jobs are performed by repeatedly adjusting color information using the same color adjustment information, since the color information is converted using the same color conversion table as the color conversion table is updated using the color adjustment information, a waste of time for the color conversion is reduced.

Abstract: An apparatus to detect toner consumption converts an original file into a spool file to perform preview before printing, converts the spool file into preview data, classifies objects based on types of items recorded in the spool file to create an object map, and calculates dot counts based on the preview data and information of the object map to detect toner consumption.

Abstract: A network scan system includes a network scanner accessible by a computer and capable of communicating with the computer through a firewall. A method of operating the network scan system includes installing a hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) server module into the computer, transmitting a uniform resource locator (URL) of the computer to the network scanner using the HTTP server module, and transmitting scanned data to the computer from the network scanner using the transmitted URL. Accordingly, it is possible to exchange data between the network scanner and the computer using the HTTP server module installed into the computer even if a firewall is installed.

Abstract: A network image forming apparatus connectable to at least one host apparatus and a method of controlling printing thereof, including receiving a user defined color table generated using at least one host apparatus, and storing the received user defined color table in the network image forming apparatus such that the received user defined color table can be shared by more than one host apparatus connected to the network image forming apparatus, and performing a printing job using the stored user defined color table.

Abstract: A method of managing settings of properties of an image forming device includes receiving a first selection of properties from a user to create a set of properties of the image forming device, assigning a name of a user setting group to represent the set of properties and storing the user setting group having the assigned name, receiving a second selection of properties from the user, comparing the second selection of properties to the set of properties of the stored user setting group having the assigned name, and associating the assigned name of the stored user setting group with a user setting group having the second selection of properties when the set of properties is identical to the second selection of properties. Therefore, the method of managing settings of properties can effectively manage settings of properties of the image forming device to prevent creation of unnecessary user setting groups.

Abstract: A system and a method of adjusting colors of print data are provided. The system includes a printer driver converting a document transmitted from an application program into print data suitable for a printer and transmitting the print data to the printer. A soft proofing unit applies a soft proofing process to the print data converted by the printer driver. A display unit displays the print data obtained through the soft proofing process. A color lookup table (CLUT) supplies a color adjustment value to the print data when the print data is processed in the soft proofing unit. A system and a method of adjusting colors of print data is also provided to allow a user to accurately predict and adjust the colors of a printout, thereby obtaining the printout having the desired colors.

Abstract: A method of providing a print preview of a print document allows a user to preview the print document on a user interface (or a registration window) of a printer driver, thereby allowing the user to intuitively recognize a print preview function and execute the print preview function without being confused by menus associated with the print preview function. The method includes selecting a print menu in an application program related to the print document to print the print document. A printer driver is executed to display a print window on a screen of a computer executing the application program when the print menu is selected on the application program. An additional print preview selection message window is displayed on the screen to instruct a user to select whether or not to invoke a print preview window when a confirmation button is pressed in the print window to transmit a print command to a printer.
