  • Patent number: 10051152
    Abstract: A method and system assist a user in selecting a print option for rendering an image. A database includes print options for rendering images on different sizes of print media. At least some of the print options include different levels of scaling of the image. Features of an image to be rendered are identified. Based on the identified features, at least one of the following is performed: filtering the print options and ranking the print options in the database, to identify a subset of candidate print options from the database of print options. A graphical user interface is generated for displaying representations of at least some of the candidate print options. The graphical user interface is displayed to a user on a display device, whereby a user is able to select a print option for rendering the image.

  • Publication number: 20180063347
    Abstract: A user interface of a printer displays instructions to use the printer's document scanner for scanning a sheet of print media (of a stack of print media being added to the paper drawer) in response to a drawer sensor detecting the opening of the paper drawer. The document scanner generates an electronic image of the sheet of print media from the scanning of the sheet of print media. The processor evaluates the electronic image of the sheet of print media to identify the media type and color of the stack of print media being added to the paper drawer. For example, this is done by evaluating the size, color characteristic, transparency, and reflection characteristic of the electronic image of the sheet of print media. Then, the electronic memory records that the paper drawer contains the stack of print media having a specific media type and color.

  • Patent number: 9679403
    Abstract: A method and system render rasterized data by receiving non-rasterized page description language data and a corresponding transformation matrix representing transformation operations to be performed. The non-rasterized page description language data is rasterizing to create rasterized data. The corresponding transformation matrix is decomposed into a plurality of individual transformation operation matrices and a discrete transformation operation value, from each corresponding individual transformation operation matrix, is generated for each transformation operation to be performed upon the rasterized data. The transformation operations are performed upon the rasterized data based upon the generated discrete transformation operation values.

  • Patent number: 8934132
    Abstract: A system and method are provided to implement dynamic user intent-based imaging operations in image forming and document handling systems. A common framework is provided to implement the user-intent based imaging operations by which all of the individual component devices are able to be mapped to a particular user's desires such that an output from any particular image forming device in the complex image forming system meets the user's requirements/intent. Operations of component devices of a particular complex image forming system are defined logically. Mappings to the individual devices according to a common reference framework are then overlaid and manipulated according to the common framework. In this manner, a user directs imaging operations, including image shifts, for individual pages, subsets of pages or an entire document in the manner the user intends rather than according to a default understanding of the device.

  • Patent number: 8891900
    Abstract: What is disclosed are a novel system and method for transforming coordinates in an image processing system. In one embodiment, image data is received in a first coordinate space and second coordinate space information is received. A first selection is made, based on a set of relative coordinate space mappings, to select at least a first transformation for mapping of the image data in the first coordinate space to an intermediate image canonical coordinate space using at least a first coordinate change matrix. The intermediate image canonical coordinate space has coordinates which are independent of the image processing system. A second selection is made, based on the set of relative coordinate space mappings, to select at least a second transformation for mapping from the intermediate image canonical coordinate space to the second coordinate space using at least a second coordinate change matrix to transform the intermediate image canonical coordinate space.

  • Patent number: 8891901
    Abstract: A system and method are provided by which a user can operate any particular image forming device in a manner that emulates any other particular image forming device. These systems and methods decouple the user from a device-specified origin, or device-specified order of operations, by affording the user an opportunity, at a graphical user interface of an image forming device, to pick an origin and an order of operations that the user desires be undertaken by the image forming device. An ability to pick which origins and orders of operations the user desires allows for establishment of a policy for image forming operations in multiple different image forming devices. The user can define the order of operations when the user walks up to the machine. Otherwise, a system administrator may set up a particular user desired origin and order of operations as a system policy to convert printing job tickets.

  • Patent number: 8773707
    Abstract: A system and method are provided to implement dynamic user intent-based finisher options in image forming and document handling systems. The common framework is provided to implement the by which all of the individual component finishing devices are able to be mapped to a particular user's desires such that an output from the complex image forming system meets the user's requirements. Operations of a particular complex image forming system are defined logically. Mappings to the individual devices according to a common reference framework are then overlaid and manipulated according to the common framework. In this manner, a user defines his or her intent in an effort to direct finishing of the document in the manner the user intends rather than according to a default understanding of the finisher.

  • Patent number: 8724162
    Abstract: A system and method for implementing selectable platen sheet rulers as one of technology-based dynamically adaptable platen sheet rulers or physically-replaceable platen sheet rulers or a plurality of physically-replaceable platens having associated with each a permanently-affixed set of platen sheet rulers for device emulation, are provided. The user is provided with a mechanism by which to select a different origin for imaging operations in an image forming device. To enable emulation on the image forming devices, selectable rulers are employed. Dynamically-adaptable rulers include liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, light emitting diode (LED) arrays or similar tools to configure platen sheet ruler displays to frame a platen of the image forming device to enable real-time changing of the platen sheet rulers. Separately, physically-replaceable rulers such as, for example, one of “snap-in” rulers that are changeable with respect to a set platens in the image forming device are provided.
