Abstract: A document printing method includes receiving a print job of electronic document data representing a document including a security character string with at least one character defined in the electronic document data in terms of a security mark creation font. The security mark creation font is a scalable outline based font, wherein the security character string is defined with a selected security effect, and wherein the security mark creation font provides an indication of the selected security effect without implementing the security effect. An SI Font is selected that corresponds to the security mark creation font of the at least one character of the security character string. The SI Font includes a bitmap representation of the at least one character of the security character string. The SI Font is suitable for printing the security character string with the selected security effect.

Abstract: A method for applying individualized rendering parameters a single page basis to enable rendering of image data associated with a job having a plurality of pages includes: assigning a first set of color processing options to a first group of pages in the job; assigning a second set of color processing options to a second group of pages in the job, the second set of color processing options identifying a color space transformation profile; receiving a page of image data to be rendered; selecting a color space transformation profile for the received page of image data based on the second set of color processing options; and applying the selected color space transformation profile to render the page of image data.

Abstract: A method for applying a selected color space transformation profile when rendering image data includes providing a plurality of color space transformation profiles; receiving a media attribute, the media attribute identifying a desired characteristic of a media to be used in rendering the image data; selecting a color space transformation profile based on the received media attribute; and applying the selected color space transformation profile to render the image data.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for processing a document to be rendered in which rendering intent selection is based on input color space. In one aspect, the method includes the following steps: a) identifying an object type for an object in the document; b) identifying an input color space of the document; c) selecting a rendering intent for the document based on the object type and the input color space; and d) processing the document using the selected rendering intent. In another aspect, the method includes the following steps: a) identifying an object type for each object in the document; b) identifying an input color space of the document; c) selecting a rendering intent for each object in the document based on the object type and the input color space; and d) processing the document using the selected rendering intent(s).

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for enabling page description language (PDL) specified image processing files to be overridden by a user/operator of a digital color copier/printer at raster input scanning time on a job or page basis. A user can specify an input color space profile that is unspecified or when to override a specified input color space profile for desired results. This allows a user to identify treatment of source data in a file, as well as to override embedded ICC profiles. A precedence model is used to determine which source profile to use among a number of possible source profile sources, including queue, job, page and object sources.

Abstract: A data processor identifies a source format and a destination format of data. The data processor determines whether a fast data conversion path, such as a direct lookup table, is available to convert one or more portions of the data from the source format to the destination format, and converts the data using the fast data conversion path where possible. For portions of the data not convertible by a fast data conversion path, the data processor performs a two-step conversion process in which the data is first converted from the source format to an intermediate format and then from the intermediate format to the destination format.
