    摘要: A system and method for printer control and color balance calibration. The system and method address the image quality problems of print engine instability, low quality of color balance and contouring from the calibration. The method includes defining combinations of colorants, such as inks or toners that will be used to print images, defining a desired response for the combinations that are to be used and, in real time, iteratively printing CMY halftone color patches, measuring the printed patches via an in situ sensor and iteratively performing color-balance calibration based on the measurements, accumulating corrections until the measurements are within a predetermined proximity of the desired response. The calibration is performed on the halftones while they are in a high quantization resolution form.

    摘要: A color marking device including a control system for calibration of the device based upon dynamic color balance control of an output image. The system comprises a front end converter for converting an input signal representative of a target image comprising a preselected color into a device-dependent control signal in accordance with a device TRC, a color marking device for outputting an output image in response to the control signal, a sensor for measuring a parameter from the output image representative of a color of the output image, and, a point-wise controller for comparing the parameter with a corresponding parameter from the target image and constructing adjusted controlled points for the device TRC when the measured parameter and the corresponding parameter vary by a preselected value, a color balance controller for constructing an adjusted device TRC from the controlled points, whereby subsequently generated output images are output with the adjusted device TRC and, more accurately represent target input images.

    摘要: Pixel magnification/demagnification apparatus and method are disclosed for controlling the size of reproducible image, the image being represented by video image signals or pixels generated by a raster scanner (12). A binary rate multiplier (102) is used for image size control along the X-axis, the multiplier being programmed to the size image desired to vary the frequency of the pixel clock signals output by the multiplier. A control flip-flop (45) astride the image pixel stream is driven by the multiplier clock signals to speed up or reduce the rate at which image pixels are output with consequent change in image size along the X-axis.
    For image size control along the Y-axis, a phase lock loop (86) control with programmable frequency generator (82) is provided for the scanning carriage drive motor (39). The frequency output of the generator is settable to the image size desired, changes in image size along the Y-axis being achieved either by increasing or decreasing the rate at which the scanning carriage (32) is moved.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for compressing and decompressing electronic documents, with maximum intradocument independence, and maximum flexibility in optimization of compression modes. The method includes receiving documents containing unknown combinations of a plural data types, including combinations of scanned data, computer rendered data, compressed data and/or rendering tags; dividing (120) the received image into strips of blocks determining from the image itself, which data types are present in each block; compressing (310-312) data of each data type present in each block with a compression method optimized for its data type. Scanned data may be further segmented into plural scanned data types, where each data type is compressed in said compressing data step with a compression method optimized for said scanned image data type. If the received data type is compressed data, the process may include the additional functions of determining a compression ratio thereof, and accepting the compressed data for use as, or decompressing and recompressing the data, based on acceptability of said compression ration determination. An instruction set is generated that allows detailed decompression instruction data and image data to be combined with transmitted compressed data. A data structure is shown, which segregates data types and instruction data, and allows for block to block and strip to strip processing independence.

    摘要: An image output terminal (14) in a printer includes a control board providing an interface between an electronic subsystem (18) of the printer and a printing unit (28) of the image output terminal. An image disk (26) can be provided in the image output terminal (14) for receipt of image data from the electronic subsystem (18) prior to submission to the printing unit. The control board further provides an interface between the electronic subsystem (18) and the image disk (26) and between the image disk (26) and the printing unit (28) such that communication is decoupled between the electronic subsystem (18) and the printing unit (28) as data is printed while the transfer of data from the electronic subsystem (18) to the image disk (26) is allowed during printing. The control board controls all communication between the electronic subsystem (18) and the printing unit. The control board is able to detect fault conditions in the electronic subsystem, printing unit (28) and control board itself.
