Abstract: A system renders print jobs via a marking engine. A raster image processor receives the job from the input module and renders it to one or more raster images. One or more contone image processors receive the one or more raster images to perform cross-channel image processing to render the raster images into a form compatible with the marking engine, wherein the output is partially sub-partitioned by color separation. An image refactoring and distribution network completes the sub-partitioning by separation of the rendered contone raster images by color separation and distributes each color sub-partition to a marker channel module specific to each color sub-partition. A marking engine receives the color sub-partitioned image data, marks the image onto a substrate and outputs a hardcopy of the image.

Abstract: A customizable indicator light system for a printing device includes at least one printing device configured to detect at least one machine state corresponding to the operation of the at least one printing device. An indicator light is operably coupled to the at least one printing device. The indicator light is adapted to operate in at least one of an off state, a blink state, and a steady state to indicate the detected machine state. A computing device is in operative communication with the at least one printing device and is adapted to provide at least one user setting to the at least one printing device. The at least one user setting includes at least one behavior setting configured to selectively set the indicator light to one of the off state, the blink state, and the steady state based on the detected machine state.
