摘要:
A system and method for generating a remote job submission accelerator report with respect to a network multi-function device. A multi-function device can be configured to receive a job from a mobile communication device via a submission path. A text representation with respect to the submission path and a spatial representation with respect to the text representation can be automatically generated. An accelerator report can be generated based on the text representation and the spatial representation and the report can be added to a cover page of the job. Such an approach effectively enables client-less job submission with respect to the multi-function device.

A system for preparing documents for printing includes a stored object corresponding to an image having an effective resolution, as well as a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive an electronic file comprising data representing a plurality of embedded images wherein each embedded image has an effective resolution. The computing device determine whether an object associated with a first one of the embedded images is identical to the stored object. If so, it replaces the first one of the embedded images with the image corresponding to the stored object when the effective resolution of the first one of the embedded images and the effective resolution of the image corresponding to the stored object are within a preselected threshold.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for printing a plurality of documents juxtaposed for imposition on a print media sheet without gutters. The document images are rasterized and a band of single or multiple pixels is selected along the image margins and compared to determine if adjacent bands are within a predetermined tolerance value. If so, the images are juxtaposed without a gutter; and, if not, one image is rotated 180° and the comparison repeated. If the comparison still is not within a predetermined tolerance value, the juxtaposed images are imposed with a gutter.
摘要:
A method and system for creating a visual representation of instructions required to finish a photo product that utilizes a specialty photo media. A photo job requesting the specialty photo media can be received and the photo job then rendered on the specialty photo media via a rendering device. An ancillary instruction document along with a number of thumbnails representing the photo job can also be rendered via the rendering device. The ancillary instruction document includes a number of instructions required to generate the final photo product on the specialty photo media thereby reducing wastage of very expensive media. The finishing instructions can be alternatively represented as animations on a graphical user interface.
摘要:
A system and method for processing digital photo product templates to enhance a personalized photo product and to enable greater flexibility when selecting options for the photo product template. One or more photo product templates can be defined as a series of objects, some of which are capable of being colorized by a user. Color sets applicable to the photo product template can be displayed based on a predefined set of colors and/or a user-defined “seed color”. The selected color sets can be automatically applied to the photo product template utilizing a predefined rank. The color sets can be ranked and complementary color set suggestions provided based on the evaluation of the colors in an image.
摘要:
Methods and systems for selecting printing materials are disclosed. One or more performance criteria and a print job may be received. At least one performance criterion may be used to measure a capability for a plurality of sets of printing materials. A computing device may evaluate the print job with respect to the one or more performance criteria in order to produce evaluation information. A first set of printing materials may be selected from the plurality of sets of printing materials based on the evaluation information. An indication of the first set of printing materials may be provided.
摘要:
A method of preparing a document for printing may include determining a preferred image resolution for an image on a document. An electronic file may be received. The electronic file may comprise data representing a first embedded image having a nominal resolution. A job may be received. The job may comprise one or more operations to be performed on the electronic file. A computing device may determine an effective resolution for the first embedded image based on the nominal resolution and the one or more operations. It is determined whether the effective resolution for the first embedded image is greater than the preferred image resolution. The first embedded image may be downsampled based on a scaling factor. A printing device may process the job using the downsampled first embedded image.
摘要:
Methods and systems of assessing color gamut requirements for a print job and a printing device are disclosed. A print job including one or more input color spaces may be received. A computing device may produce a color transformation for each input color space using at least a color gamut error profile. The computing device may further produce result information based on the one or more color transformations. Result information may be provided to a user.
摘要:
A computer implemented method is provided for automatically aggregating multiple print jobs. The method includes: (A) combining first and second print jobs, each of which complies with a print processing related rule, and the combination of the first and second print jobs corresponds with a first print job size value; (B) receiving a third print job corresponding with a second print job size value; (C) aggregating the first, second and third print jobs into an aggregate print job when the third print job complies with the print processing related rule and a combination of the first, second and third print jobs results in an aggregate print job having a third print job size value that is less than a reference print job size value; and (D) producing a print output with the combination of the first print job and the second print job when the third print job complies with the print processing related rule and a combination of the first, second and third print jobs results in an aggregate print job having a fourth print job size value that exceeds the reference print job size value.
摘要:
A method for assembling a document generates a set of candidate content items for inclusion in the document. The content items may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. An inclusion constraint is automatically applied to the set to determine whether the set satisfies the inclusion constraint. If the set does not satisfy the inclusion constraint, a conflict may be resolved by identifying one or more candidate content items in the set to be removed and removing the identified candidate content items from the set. A document may be created that includes the candidate content items that were not removed. The document may be published.
