    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and system for determining a billing structure for outputting documents using an image processing apparatus. If image data of the document includes color pixels, a billing structure is determined for each page based on an amount of color coverage. The marked color pixel locations of the image data to be output in the device dependent space are counted. Each color pixel location comprises at least one color plane. In some cases, a ratio of the count of the marked color pixel locations to a maximum number of pixel locations may be used to determine the amount on the page. Processing and determining a billing structure based on image data in the device dependent space, irrespective of the amount of ink/toner or color planes used, avoids charging a customer for color print job when only a small amount of color pixels are printed.

    Abstract translation: 本文公开了一种用于确定使用图像处理装置输出文档的计费结构的方法和系统。 如果文档的图像数据包括彩色像素,则基于颜色覆盖的数量为每个页面确定记帐结构。 对要在设备依赖空间中输出的图像数据的标记的彩色像素位置进行计数。 每个颜色像素位置包括至少一个彩色平面。 在某些情况下,可以使用标记的彩色像素位置的计数与像素位置的最大数目的比率来确定页面上的数量。 基于设备相关空间中的图像数据来处理和确定计费结构,不管所用的墨水/调色剂或色彩面的数量如何,在仅打印少量彩色像素时避免为客户进行彩色打印作业。
