Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for address verification support. One embodiment includes a print server. The print server includes an interface that receives a print job comprising multiple mail pieces which each include an address of record from a client, and a controller that processes the print job according to a first workflow of the print server accessible by a first set of operators, detects address anomalies within the mail pieces by accessing an address verification system of a delivery entity, generates a second workflow that is for handling a mail piece having an address anomaly and is accessible only by a second set of operators distinct from the first set of operators, and confirms that the address of record for the mail piece in the second workflow has been updated based on input from the second set of operators.

Abstract: A computer generated method disclosed. The method includes examining a print job data stream spooled in a spooled print production file, identifying one or more white space regions within documents in the print production file and inserting content into each of the white space regions.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a workflow server that includes an interface configured to receive data that indicates a type of a release event over a communication medium, wherein completion of the release event results in the at least one document being sent over a predetermined channel at a predetermined time for an intended audience. The workflow server also includes a release module configured to process a step of the workflow selected for the release event to identify an authorized user, to cause a display device to display information of the release event, to determine whether the release event is valid based on a response from the authorized user, and to send the one or more documents over the predetermined channel at the predetermined time when the release module determines that the release event is valid.

Abstract: Systems and methods for repositioning processing of presentation data stream by a presentation device from user defined boundaries. A user may define customizable boundaries, such as mail-piece boundaries when printing mail, chapters when printing books, as well as additional boundaries that logically group or divide a data stream. The user defined boundaries are inserted into the presentation data stream. The operator does not need to guess or go through trial and error processes to determine the reposition point of the data stream. Rather, features and aspects herein allow repositioning of processing of the data stream to occur from user defined boundaries that result in the data stream reposition occurring at uniform restarting points of the data stream. This allow existing repositioning capabilities such as those provided by z/OS ‘backspace’ and ‘forward space’ commands to always land on a mail piece or other appropriate boundary.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for generating and associating meta-data with a final form presentation datastream document where the meta-data is structured in accordance with the datastream component architectures. Meta-data objects (“MDOs”) are architected as components of a presentation document and thus are well defined to allow applications to reliably access and process the meta-data contained therein. The MDOs may be associated with other components of the document and are architected to be extensible and flexible while still adhering to an architectural structure. The MDOs may be descriptive (no affect in document presentation) or operational (affects document presentation if processed). Standard types of MDOs may include XML standard information, JDF standard information, PWG standard information, and digital signature information. A variety of standard categories further define typical meta-data forms and applications thereof.

Abstract: A printer is disclosed. The printer includes one or more sub-systems having a capability of a different magnitude of operation based on print job properties and a controller. The controller includes a monitor to track a first operation time for each of the sub-systems during printing of a first print job and track a second operation time for each of the sub-systems during printing of a second print job.

Abstract: Methods and systems herein provide for securely advancing continuous form media including pre-printed sensitive elements. A command is identified for advancing the media without imprinting on the sensitive elements. A security image is identified for voiding the sensitive elements. The security image is then imprinted on the sensitive elements as the media is advanced to void the sensitive elements. Embodiments include detecting a Non Process Run Out (NPRO) command at a printer for advancing the media without imprinting the sensitive elements, and imprinting the security image onto the sensitive elements as the media is advanced to void the sensitive elements. Further embodiments include detecting that a print job includes a blank logical page for advancing the media without imprinting the sensitive elements, and imprinting the security image onto the sensitive elements as the media is advanced to void the sensitive elements.

Abstract: A computer generated method disclosed. The method includes examining a print job data stream spooled in a spooled print production file, identifying one or more white space regions within documents in the print production file accessing an external source for selection of an advertisement to insert into each of the white space regions and inserting an advertisement into each of the white space regions.

Abstract: Systems, methods and program products for automatically generating authenticated electronic receipts at a point-of-sale terminal for both merchants and customers. These electronic receipts can then be used in place of paper receipts for expense accounting, for tax purposes, for routing to accounting and taxation departments, and for real-time analysis of cash-flow and budgeting. The invention prevents loss of paper receipts, always provides a legible receipt, removes employee subjectivity, provides extensive transaction details, removes entry errors, reduces physical storage requirements, promotes continuous expense tracking and eases expense-reporting procedures. In addition, the point-of-sale terminal can integrate the electronic receipt with other available coded data and information about the method of payment such as an image of the check, or the serial number of the paper currency bills used.

Abstract: Systems, methods and program products for joining front-end processing with back-end processing of printed documents. In particular, the invention calls for collecting print data usable for printing a document (i.e., by persistently saving data used to print a document), imaging the document after use, and processing the document using the print data and image data together.

Abstract: Capabilities are added to a travel reservation system by delivering a traveler's destination information to a car reservation company computer for subsequent downloading as waypoint data into a global positioning system (GPS) device in the car being rented by the traveler. The traveler creates a travel itinerary, including a request for a rental car at a first destination and a second destination to which the traveler will drive the car. Information about the destinations is transmitted to the rental car company for downloading into a GPS receiver in the rental car for use by the traveler.
