Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system includes at least one physical memory device to store inspection logic and one or more processors coupled with the at least one physical memory device to execute the inspection logic to capture a page image of a print job page printed on a print medium, determine a page identifier (page ID) value on the page image, determine whether the page ID value is within a first production range associated with a first inspection production and perform inspection processing using a first inspection production on the page image upon a determination that the page ID value is within the first production range.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program generating user defined marking settings to print marks to control post-processing devices. A user interface is generated to enable user input to define at least one marking setting comprising a name of the marking setting, a dimension of a marking, and a location of the marking on the print medium. Marking settings control a printer to output markings on a print medium. The outputted markings on the print medium control at least one post processor device to perform post processing operations on the print medium. User input is received from the user interface defining at least one marking setting. The user defined at least one marking setting is stored with an existing set of marking settings to control the printer.

Abstract: A method for tracking printer productivity includes retrieving archived data stored on a remote printer that is connected to a network. The data is parsed and stored in a relational database. The data is retrieved from the database and used to generate a graphical representation of the data. The data may be represented as XML data and retrieving the data may include establishing a simple object access protocol (SOAP) connection between the printer system data and sending XML commands to the printer system. Storing the parsed data in a relational database may include establishing a Java database connectivity (JDBC) connection with a database server. The data is a log of events occurring on the printer system. The logged events may include status events indicating an operational status of the printer, job events indicating the beginning and ending of jobs, and intervention events indicating error status changes of the printer system.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for printer controller, dynamic N-UP print job imaging. An enhanced printer includes features hereof to dynamically adjust parameters of a print job at any point in a print job. In one aspect hereof, the printer configures a print job for an initial set of printing parameters without host system intervention and may reconfigure those parameters during printing of the print job. In another aspect hereof, the adjustments may include adjusting the relative position of any of the N-UP images independent of any other of the N-UP images. Another aspect hereof provides that the formatting of the print job according to printing parameters by the printer occurs after rasterizing the print job into logical page images. Since the formatting is performed after rasterizing, the printing parameters may be changed at any time during printing of the print job.
