Patent number: 11514282Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate parallel processing of PDF documents for printing, wherein the PDF documents comprise transparency effects. Transparent objects in the PDF document are identified, and the document is divided into subgroups of pages. The transparency objects are then flattened to enable conversion to PostScript format. The PostScript pages are processed and rendered to raster for printing.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2021Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Lee Coy Moore, Edward Chapman

Patent number: 10248364Abstract: To troubleshoot an error, a printer uses a job ticket and printer-independent document data to perform a job, such as printing a document. The job ticket includes instructions for hardware component settings of the printer. In response to a capture bug command, the printer will capture, from a group of hardware configuration sensors, real-time values of the settings for the print device hardware components while the print device implements performs the job. The printer will save the captured real-time values of the settings, the job ticket, and the printer-independent document data to a merged file, and it will transmit the merged file to a maintenance service.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2017Date of Patent: April 2, 2019Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Edward N. Chapman, Paul Roberts Conlon, Timothy L. Dioguardi, Lee Coy Moore, Stephen Santini

Patent number: 9712704Abstract: A scanner includes a platen having a surface supporting items for scanning, and a projector adjacent (e.g., above or below) the platen. The projector projects light displaying patterned alignment marks on the items located on the platen. The patterned alignment marks identify an alignment position for the items to be located on the platen for properly aligned scanning. The projector projects different patterned alignment marks based on different characteristics of different items to be scanned.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventor: Lee Coy Moore

Patent number: 8654385Abstract: A method of scheduling a print job may include determining a first set of deployments that includes one or more deployments. Each deployment in the first set may include an indication of a logical device in a cloud environment and an indication of a production center. The method may include for one or more deployments in the first set of deployments, determining a total compliance value associated with the deployment, identifying a subset of deployments based on, at least in part, the associated total compliance values, generating a new set of deployments based on, at least in part, the identified subset of deployments, and in response to the first set of deployments being an improvement over the new set of deployments, incrementing a count variable, and repeating the determining a total compliance value, identifying, and generating operations until the count variable equals an exit condition value.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2012Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Gueyoung Jung, Lee Coy Moore, Barry Glynn Gombert, Jean Pierre Van de Capelle

Patent number: 8643874Abstract: A method and system generate a workflow for the production of a three-dimensional document. A knowledge base contains production rules for several dimensional documents. The production rules relate to a plurality of jobs, i.e., units of work involved in the production of a dimensional document. The rules also identify human and/or mechanical resources required to complete each job. The system receives, from multiple service providers, capability information corresponding to each service provider's available resources. The capability information is associated with the production rules and stored in the knowledge base. When a user selects a dimensional document to be produced, the system selects appropriate production rules for the document, accesses the associated capability information, and automatically generates a workflow for the document. The system distributes various jobs in the workflow among at least two different service providers.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2009Date of Patent: February 4, 2014Assignee: Xerox CorporationInventors: Frank Michael Goetz, Lee Coy Moore, Meera Sampath, Naveen Sharma

Publication number: 20130235416Abstract: A method of scheduling a print job in a print production system may include identifying one or more print jobs having a start time within a rental period, identifying one or more logical devices that are operating during the rental period and determining a processing schedule associated with the rental period. The method may include determining whether the processing schedule comprises an idle period, in response to the processing schedule comprising an idle period, determining whether a future print job can be processed during the idle period, in response to determining that the future print job can be processed during the idle period, assigning the future print job to at least a portion of the idle period on the processing schedule, and instructing the identified logical devices to process the one or more identified print jobs according to the processing schedule.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2012Publication date: September 12, 2013Applicant: XEROX CORPORATIONInventors: Lee Coy Moore, Barry Glynn Gombert
