Abstract: There is disclosed an apparatus and method of aligning content put through a duplex scanner. By performing operations on data extracted from physical documents, digital documents that would otherwise appear skewed can be un-skewed. The process compares two images, e.g. a front and a back page for a document, and determines how they are offset from one another. The process uses a projection profile error minimization technique to calculate a translation for one or both pages to digitally align the margins for a digital document such that the margins match.

Abstract: A system for multifunction peripheral assisted optical mark recognition uses a scanner to scan at least one printed page to generate a scanned image of the at least one printed page and to optically detect a presence of a visible label on the scanned image. Then, the multifunction peripheral may extract a model identification and a template identification from the visible label, select a template, identifying locations from which image data is to be extracted from the scanned image, select a model, specifically identifying at least two types of acceptable marks within the image data to be extracted from the scanned image, and perform optical mark recognition on the location from which image data is to be extracted identified by the template using the at least two types of acceptable marks identified by the model to extract useful data from the image data.

Abstract: There is disclosed methods, computing devices, and computer-readable media for printing and encoding RFID (radio frequency identification) labels. An RFID label document conforming to the Portable Document Format (PDF) is retrieved, the RFID label document including printable content and RFID encoding data embedded as metadata. The RFID encoding data is extracted from the RFID label document. Printable content of the RFID label document is displayed in a PDF viewer application. A print driver called by the PDF viewer application converts the printable content of the RFID label document into printer control language. The previously extracted RFID encoding data is incorporated into the printer control language, and the printer control language with incorporated RFID encoding data is transmitted to an RFID label printer.

Abstract: A converter peripheral for converting an electronic document for output by a multifunction includes a network interface for receiving the electronic document, the electronic document in a page description language unsupported by the multifunction peripheral, a processor for accessing configuration data in order to determine at least one page description language supported by the multifunction peripheral, for accessing local license data to confirm authorization to perform a conversion, and for converting the electronic document into a page description language supported by the multifunction peripheral, and an output interface for transmitting the converted electronic document to the multifunction peripheral for output.
