  • Publication number: 20150012888
    Abstract: An F&I Menu system for the sale of a product that is financed and which includes multiple options. A display shows the base price of the product without optional items, and a with-options price. Icons representing optional items may be moved between unselected and selected areas. As the icons are moved into or out of the selected area, the with-options price is instantaneously updated, including any price changes resulting from the application of pricing components reflecting the costs of financing or leasing.

  • Patent number: 5648801
    Abstract: A system is provided for obtaining enhanced quality grayscale printing using standard printer architecture. An image to be printed is scanned to produce several bit maps for image pixels having different optical intensities. The different bit maps are handled by a standard print engine separately, in the same manner as multicolor bit maps would be handled. The image is then printed using a print head assembly having separate print heads for grayscale printing using different optical intensities. Thus, a printed image having enhanced resolution and quality, because of the optical intensity discrimination, is produced using a printer architecture which is the same as a standard multicolor printer architecture except for the front end, which scans for optical intensity, and the print head assembly, which has different print heads designed to produce different optical intensities.
