Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for adjusting font pitch during a print process is disclosed. The method on a computer system includes observing a print command issued by an application. The method further includes generating an output file in response to the print command and modifying the output file to conform to a template. The method further includes determining the type of each character in the output file and adjusting the font pitch of characters in the output file based on their type. The method further includes sending the output file to an output destination. In one alternative, the method includes determining whether each character in the output file is at least one of a numerical character and an alphabetic character and 1) adjusting the font pitch of numerical characters to be fixed font pitch, and 2) adjusting the font pitch of alphabetic characters to be variable font pitch.

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for capturing data during a print process. In an embodiment of the present invention, the method on a computer system includes observing a print command issued by an application. Next, a spool file in a condensed format, such as Extended Metafile Format (EMF), is written to a disk in response to the print command. This spool file read, and subsequently an output file is generated based on information in the spool file. The output file is written in EMF format if the output file contains image information. If the output file does not contain image information, the output file is written in text format. Then, the output file is modified to conform to a template. Lastly, the output file that was modified is sent to an output destination, such as a printer.

Abstract: A system and method for printing in a secure environment is disclosed. The method on a computer system includes receiving print stream data by a first module, wherein the first module includes a first set of permissions that are not compatible with permissions of an output destination driver. Then, the first module sends the print stream data to a second module, wherein the second module includes a second set of permissions that are compatible with the permissions of the output destination driver. Subsequently, the second module modifies the print stream data to conform to a template. Lastly, the second module sends the print stream data to the output destination via the output destination driver.

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for mapping print stream data for printing on business forms or mailers is disclosed. The method on a computer system includes the definition of a source template and a target template. A source template defines the content and zones of a source document. A source document is a document containing financial or account information. A target template defines the content and zones of a target document. A target document is the document that is printed onto a business form or mailer. The print stream data is received and, using the source template, the print stream data is parsed and content is extracted. Then, the extracted content is placed in zones in the target template to produce a target document, which is printed onto a business form or mailer. The target document can be sent to an output destination including a printer or other application.

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium for automatically setting optimal printer settings is disclosed. The method on a computer system includes defining a first printer setting group for a first type of print job and storing in a configuration file the first printer setting group for the first type of print job. The method further includes receiving a print command for a print job and searching the configuration file for a printer setting group corresponding to the print job according to the type of the print job. The method further includes identifying the first printer setting group as corresponding to the print job and reading from the configuration file the first printer setting group for the first type of print job. The method further includes sending the first printer setting group to a printer and sending the print job of the print command to the printer.
