Abstract: A method and system of deskewing an image. The method and system includes capturing a first image, forming a number of regions within the first image, generating a bounding rectangles for each region, calculating an area for each bounding rectangle, rotating each region by an angle within a predefined range, finding the angle that minimizes the area of each bounding rectangle, and rotating each region by the angle found.

Abstract: In a system comprising at least one scanner in communication with a computer said computer having plurality of process instantiable therein, said processes including a plurality scanning processes, a communications layer, and monitoring software, said instantiable processes being in communication with one another when instantiated, and said communication layer being in communication with said at least one scanner when instantiated, a method of operating an image processing system, comprising: instantiating the monitoring software, receiving a device scan request at said communication layer from at least one said scanner; associating at said communication layer a unique identifier to said device scan request identifying said at least one scanner from which the device scan request was received; transmitting said device scan request and said corresponding unique identifier to said monitoring software; and instantiating one said scanning process dependent upon said device scan request and said corresponding uniqu

Abstract: One step of the method includes automatically selecting a normal printing mode for printing the image on the sheet when the image can fit within a maximum printable area of the sheet for the normal printing mode, wherein the maximum printable area leaves an unprintable margin from at least one edge of the sheet. Another step includes automatically selecting a borderless printing mode for printing the image on the sheet when the image cannot fit within the maximum printable area, wherein the borderless printing mode leaves no unprintable margin from the at-least-one edge of the sheet. Such steps are performed by at least one computer program.
