  • Automatic detection of black and white pages in a color document stream
    Patent number: 6718878
    Abstract: An approach is provided for identifying black and white pages in a color document stream. This approach may be utilized in digital printing systems. This approach examines a small portion of the color data for a page to identify whether the color data is indicative of the page being a black and white page or a full color page. This approach also examines the relative sizes of compressed color separations for the pages. Pages that are determined to be black and white pages may be printed in a black and white mode, whereas full color pages may be printed in a full color page mode.
    Type: Grant

  • Managing poorly compressible images in a resource limited system
    Patent number: 6590672
    Abstract: A printing system includes intelligence for balancing throughput, image quality and memory requirements. The printing system includes intelligence for determining whether to print a page in an interleaved mode or in a single page mode. Color pages containing poorly compressed color separations are printed in a single page mode so as to ensure that all of the color separations of the page may fit into the available memory and that system throughput is sufficient. The pages that are not printed in an interleaved mode are printed in a single page mode. The resolution of color data contained in a page that is to be printed in a single page mode may be reduced to fulfill system throughput and memory requirements.
