摘要： A method for preparing a variable data print file for printing includes receiving a variable data print file that includes at least one repeating portion and at least one repeat length embedded in at least one data structure in the variable data print file, each repeat length is associated with a different repeating portion of the variable data print file, wherein either a) the at least one repeat length is a plurality of repeat lengths with at least two of the repeat lengths being different in length or b) the variable data print file further includes at least one non-repeating portion; reading the at least one repeat length from the data structure in the variable data print file; and using the at least one repeat length to determine an order in which pages from the at least one repeating portion are submitted for processing in preparation for printing.

摘要： A method for modifying a printable file includes receiving the printable file; identifying an element representing one or more text characters in the printable file; tagging the element; and incorporating metadata in the printable file, wherein the metadata is associated in the printable file with the tagged element and includes the one or more text characters. A method for using a printable file including at least one tagged graphics object that represents one or more characters and associated metadata includes receiving the printable file; and performing an activity using the printable file and the metadata within the printable file.

摘要： A method for identifying an object or product for purchase includes scanning, by the user, an example object for a code or marking; reading the code or marking; communicating with a database to index the code or marking with information about the example object, wherein the information includes contact information or a contact link for a manufacturer or supplier of the example object; and receiving the information and providing the information to the user. A method for purchasing a product based on the information can include receiving an order for a product using the contact information or contact link for the manufacturer or supplier; receiving payment for the order; and delivering a portion of the payment to an entity that displayed the example object from which the code or marking was scanned.

摘要： A method for preparing a select graphic for printing using a digital printing device includes receiving the select graphic, at least one position for printing the select graphic, and a select spot color name for the select graphic, wherein the select spot color name represents a tone printable using at least one colorant of the digital printing device; generating a select spot color separation for the select graphic using a halftone screen to produce the tone represented by the security spot name, wherein the halftone screen is selected for printing the select graphic without a discernible dot pattern upon unmagnified viewing; and preparing raster data incorporating the select spot color separation for printing the select graphic at the at least one position on the item.

摘要： A method for adjusting a modifiable printing parameter of each of a plurality of printing elements of a printing device includes printing a plurality of test charts for each of the printing elements at different values of the modifiable printing parameter; measuring a variance of a printing density for each of the test charts; analyzing the measured variances for each of the printing elements; individually selecting a value of the modifiable printing parameter for each of the printing elements based on the analysis; and applying the selected value of the modifiable printing parameter for each of the printing elements to the printing device. Software density compensation can be applied to further reduce the variance of the printing density.

摘要： Access to protected content is based on a client device being within a region. The region may be a mobile or movable region, and/or a region that is in motion. In some embodiments, the region may be determined based on a distance from a position within the region, or based on a boundary about the position that need not be symmetrical. In some embodiments, the region is a three dimensional region. In some embodiments, being within the region is further based on the region being above a defined altitude. In further embodiments, a determination for access is based on whether the client device is detected to be in motion relative to the region.

摘要翻译： 对受保护内容的访问基于位于区域内的客户端设备。 该区域可以是移动或可移动区域，和/或运动的区域。 在一些实施例中，该区域可以基于距该区域内的位置的距离，或者基于关于不需要对称的位置的边界来确定。 在一些实施例中，该区域是三维区域。 在一些实施例中，在区域内进一步基于该区域高于限定的高度。 在另外的实施例中，访问确定是基于客户端设备是否被检测为相对于区域运动。

摘要： A method is provided for presenting documents using a binder file stored on a computer-readable storage medium where the documents in the binder file are presentable within a graphical interface that appears as a notebook binder. The method includes opening a printer driver; selecting a binder file from an interface of the printer driver; selecting a section of the selected binder file from the interface of the printer driver; and adding the document to the selected binder file with an indicator for the document specifying the selected section.

摘要： A method for permitting a user of a printer, such as a color proofing printer, to rapidly and easily evaluate whether or not the color of prints produced by the printer is correct by comparing different pairs of test patches added to the intended content of a print job. As a result, it becomes possible to determine whether the print was produced using a correct input configuration.
