    摘要: A technique of constructing a multi-segment print job from multiple local and remote sources on a network using a network interface to identify print job segments and location of segments on the network by entering a start build print job function at the network interface, identifying each segment of the print job including segment location, specifying print job characteristics such as quantity and quality for each segment, entering an end build print job function at the network interface, and identifying a printing device on the network whereby each segment of the print job is accessed and distributed to the printing device to complete the multi-segment print job.

    摘要: A printer driver enables a user to determine whether the features that are required to print a specified job are available to a selected network printer. The printer driver queries the selected printer to acquire the current status and other relevant information for each feature that is required to print the job, then provides the results of the query at a user interface. Accordingly, if any of the required features are unavailable to the selected printer, the user can print the job using another printer or take some other appropriate action.

    摘要: In a printing method, content of a print job is split into a main portion and a completing portion at a user terminal (10). The main portion is encrypted using the user terminal. The encrypted main portion (32) is sent to a printing device (12). The completing portion is encrypted using a mobile device (20) operatively connected with the user terminal. The encrypted completing portion (34) is stored on the operatively connected mobile device. The mobile device is operatively disconnected from the user terminal, and is operatively connected with the printing device. After the operative connecting: (i) the encrypted main portion is decrypted using the printing device and the completing portion is decrypted using the mobile device; (ii) the decrypted main portion and the decrypted completing portion are combined to reconstruct the print job; and (iii) the reconstructed print job is executed using the printing device.

    摘要: A method, computer readable medium, and system for requiring external authorization for a job prior to processing includes determining for a job if external authorization for at least one is item is approved and processing the job if the external authorization for the at least one item is determined to be approved. This method, computer readable medium, and system has better control over who uses a particular device and which operations are enabled by involving an external authorization process outside of the system. Additionally, method, computer readable medium, and system assists in discovering and preventing misuse of the system through the authorization process and by keeping a log of activity.

    摘要: A multi-functional printing system having a plurality of platforms, where each of the platforms is adapted to perform a selected service. The printing system includes a first platform having a first queue, such as a queue utility for storing a job associated with the first platform, and a second queue, such as a shadow queue, for storing a job associated with a different platform. The system also employs a second platform disposed in communication with the first platform. The second platform has a first queue for storing a job associated with the second platform and a second queue for storing a job associated with a different platform.

    摘要: Prioritizing a printing system's basic processing resources includes providing a job contention manager (JCM) that adds a first basic job resource to queues of each basic resource which a first video capability requires to perform a first sub-job. The first basic job resources are ready for processing if they are at the top of all of the queues, of all the basic resources, required by the first video capability. The JCM adds a second basic job resource sub-job to queues of each basic resource which a second video capability requires to perform the first sub-job. The second basic job resources, are ready for processing after the first basic job resource, if the first and second basic job resources in the queue are submitted by the same job service and if the second basic job resource is for the same sub-job as the first basic job resource's sub-job.

    摘要: A method for enabling a printing machine having a customer billing interface to bill the customer for different types of printing operations performed includes programming variable rates for printing operations into the printing machine. With receipt of a machine enable signal from the customer billing interface, the printing operation is initiated. The printing machine determines the type of printing operation performed and sends the corresponding billing signal to the customer interface.

    摘要: An image processing apparatus and method include a plurality of different background suppression data acquisition modes selectable by a user in order to obtain background suppression data from a document being reproduced. The obtained background suppression data is used by an image processing unit to suppress the background region of the document being reproduced. The user is able to select one of the plurality of background suppression data acquisition modes depending upon the user's desire for high speed document reproduction versus the required quality of background suppression. In this manner, the user is able to determine whether document reproduction speed or background suppression quality is to be emphasized. The user's choice of a background suppression data acquisition mode is selectively overridden if the image processing apparatus determines that a more performance-intensive background suppression data acquisition mode may be implemented to improve background suppression quality without an associated loss of document reproduction speed.
