Patent number: 7248382Abstract: Systems and procedures are described for an imaging device to download media parameters from a remote server computer that is connected to the imaging device across a network. Specifically, the imaging device detects a media ID from print media. Responsive to detecting the media ID, the imaging device downloads a set of media parameters that correspond to the Media ID from the server computer. The imaging device uses these downloaded media parameters to automatically configure itself.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2001Date of Patent: July 24, 2007Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert E. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Patent number: 7102798Abstract: Systems and procedures are described to automatically configure an imaging device to form images on sheets of print media that are loaded in the imaging device. To accomplish this, the imaging device reads, or senses a single marking from at least one side of the sheet of print media. The marking includes data; the data provides orientation information with respect to how the print sheet is loaded in the imaging device. The data further includes a set of media parameter information corresponding to the sheet of print media. The imaging device configures itself to form images on the sheet of print media based on at least a portion of the sensed data from the sheet of print media.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2001Date of Patent: September 5, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Robert E. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Patent number: 6985682Abstract: Arrangements and procedures are described to automatically configure an imaging device to form images on sheets of print media in a stack of print media. To accomplish this, information is imprinted on the top sheet of the stack of print media. The information provides media parameter information that corresponds to each of the other sheets of print media in the stack of print media. An imaging device senses, or reads the information from the top sheet in a manner that is independent of any particular orientation of the top sheet. The imaging device is configured form images on each of the sheets of print media based on the sensed information.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2001Date of Patent: January 10, 2006Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP.Inventors: Robert B. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Publication number: 20030076520Abstract: Arrangements and procedures are described to provide print media information to an imaging device independently of marking every sheet in a stack of print media and independently of repetitively marking portions on a roll of media after images have been formed on the roll. Specifically, an electronic tag is fixed to a medium. The electronic tag stores information that identifies a corresponding quantity and type of print media. After the medium has been loaded into an imaging device, the stored information is detected by the imaging device. The imaging device uses the detected information to automatically configure itself to print on each sheet or portion of a roll loaded print media.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2001Publication date: April 24, 2003Inventors: Robert E. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Publication number: 20030072019Abstract: Systems and procedures are described to automatically configure an imaging device to form images on sheets of print media that are loaded in the imaging device. To accomplish this, the imaging device reads, or senses a single marking from at least one edge of the sheet of print media. The marking includes data; the data provides orientation information with respect to how the print sheet is loaded in the imaging device. The data further includes a set of media parameter information corresponding to the sheet of print media. The imaging device configures itself to form images on the sheet of print media based on at least a portion of the sensed data from the sheet of print media.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2001Publication date: April 17, 2003Inventors: Robert E. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Publication number: 20030072028Abstract: Image forming devices and methods of forming hard images are provided. According to one aspect, an image forming device includes a housing including a media path arranged to guide media; a sensor configured to obtain encoded data from the media and to output a signal indicative of the encoded data; and imaging circuitry configured to form hard images upon the media, to receive the signal and to perform at least one function with respect to the formation of the hard images within the image forming device responsive to the encoded data indicated within the signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2001Publication date: April 17, 2003Inventors: Robert E. Haines, Judith A. Garzolini

Patent number: 6219519Abstract: Hot offset of black toner is reduced or eliminated in a color electrophotographic imaging device, such as a laser printer, by applying a minimal layer of non-black toner in addition to the black toner on a print media. The non-black toner, such as cyan, magenta or yellow toner, acts as a release agent for reducing or eliminating hot offset of the black toner during fusing of the toner to the media. The non-black toner is applied as a thin layer just sufficient to reduce hot offset of the black toner and such that an appearance of a resultant image formed retains a visual perception of being a black toner only image. In an alternate embodiment, the thin layer of non-black toner is applied in response to coated media being processed, such as overhead transparencies, that are more susceptible to hot offset.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2000Date of Patent: April 17, 2001Assignees: Hewlett-Packard Company, 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Judith A. Garzolini, Kristina J. Wood, Kenneth E. Heath, Joseph C. Carls, Dennis D. Anderson
