Abstract: An original has a first pattern on and a second pattern, and the first pattern and the second pattern include relatively lighter markings within a relatively darker background. The relatively lighter markings appear at a first spacing interval in the first pattern, and at a larger second spacing interval in the second pattern. The first pattern and the second pattern cover and equally block a region of the original from reflecting ultraviolet light. A scanner is only capable of detecting patterns of markings having a spacing interval larger than the first spacing interval, which causes a copy of the original to not include the relatively lighter markings appearing at the first spacing interval. Thus, the copy lacks markings at locations corresponding to where the relatively lighter markings appear at the first spacing interval in the original. The copy reflects the ultraviolet light more where the copy lacks markings.

Abstract: An image production device includes a processor, media feed trays having media size sensors, and a marking device. A scanner connected to the processor, scans images on a two-dimensional document and determines one dimension of the document. The processor automatically determines dimensions of media in the media feed trays and compares the dimensions of media in each of the media feed trays to the one dimension of the document. Responsive to the one dimension of the document matching one of the dimensions of the media in one of the media feed trays, the processor identifies a matching feed tray based only on one dimension of the document in the scanner. Media is automatically selected from the matching feed tray and fed to the marking device. The marking device renders images on the media selected from the matching feed tray. The processor outputs the media containing the images.

Abstract: A system and method for enabling visual processing of selected objects in a complex document. The system and method enhance the visibility of certain selected objects or layers in a document, and attenuates the visibility of the remaining objects or layers. This is accomplished by selecting a portion of an input image according to a pre-determined criteria, applying a first image modification scheme to the selected portion of the image to produce a first modified portion of the image, applying a second image modification scheme to a non-selected portion of the image to produce a second modified portion of the image, and displaying the image as a combination of the first modified portion and the second modified portion.

Abstract: Methods perform at least two different segments of a scan job by sequentially scanning the different segments using an optical scanner. Each of the different segments is scanned with the optical scanner manually set to different settings. The methods automatically combine the different settings to produce a recurring scan workflow. The recurring scan workflow includes such different settings of the different segments and information of the number of pages scanned in each of the different segments. Further, such methods perform at least one later scan job having later segments corresponding to the different segments of the original scan job after creating the recurring scan workflow. During the later scan job the computerized device automatically changes settings of the optical scanner between the later segments, without requiring the user to manually change the different settings between the later segments.

Abstract: An original comprises a first page and a second page as disposed face-down on the platen surface of an image-processing device. The platen is scanned to form a platen image. The positions of two diagonally-opposite corners of the original are determined based on a fixed platen reference point. An original image is formed by cropping the platen image based on the positions of the two original corners. The size and position of either one selected page or both pages are determined based on the two original corner positions. When the image of only one selected page is desired, the image of the selected page is formed by cropping the original image based on the size and position of the selected page. When the images of both pages are desired, the images of both pages are formed by cropping the original image based on the sizes and positions of both pages.
