A printing system for printing a representation of an image on a first portion of a bound document with the image being disposed on a second portion of the bound document is provided. The printing system includes an input station for generating a print job including the image, and a printing machine, communicating with said input station, for producing prints corresponding with the job, wherein one of the prints includes the image as a printed image. The printing system further includes a spine printing apparatus including an image capture system for reading the printed image and converting the same to a set of image data; and a printing device for printing the representation of the image, by reference to the set of image data, on the first portion of the bound document.

A system, including a printing system and a remote diagnostic facility, is provided for performing a diagnostic operation relative to the printing system by reference to electronic data corresponding with one or more dialog screens stored in a memory of the printing system. In practice, a telecommunication link is formed between a facsimile transmission system of the printing system and a facsimile receiving system of the remote diagnostic facility, and the electronic data corresponding with the one of the one or more dialog screens is specified for transmission thereof across the communication link. When an event occurs, the electronic data corresponding with the one of the one or more dialog screens is transmitted from the facsimile transmission system to the facsimile receiving system, a print is produced, at the remote diagnostic facility, with the transmitted electronic data, and a diagnostic operation is performed with the print.

A scanning system enables a user to nondestructively mark certain pages in a document stack and cause these page to be skipped during the scanning on a digital scanner. The pages of the document stack to be skipped are marked with a small adhesive backed label placed at a pre-defined location on the page by the user. The label is large enough to carry a simple, but unique image (machine-readable code) that can be read by a single sensor. The machine-readable code may be a barcode, glyph, color pattern, or reflective/nonreflective pattern, etc. The label's adhesive is such that it can be easily removed from the document stack without destroying the integrity of the page to which it was attached. In operation, the scanner utilizes a label sensor located before the scanning station/platen area so as to sense the skip label prior to the actual image capturing operation. Upon detection of the skip label on a particular document page by the upstream sensor, a microprocessor instructs the scanner to bypass the scanning of that page.

There is provided a job control system for a document processing system having a document processing subsystem in which a job, including a set of image data and a job control ticket, is processed each time the job, along with the job control ticket, is submitted to the document processing system. The job control system includes an input source including a user interface with a display, the user interface being used to (a) program a first job control ticket with a first set of attributes, the first job control ticket controlling a manner in which the job is to be processed in a first job processing event, and (b) program a second job control ticket with a second set of attributes, the second job control ticket controlling a manner in which the job is to be processed in a second job processing event; and a linking program for causing the first and second job control tickets to be linked to the set of image data so that a single submission of the job causes the job to be processed in the first job processing event with the first job control ticket and in the second job processing event with the second job control ticket, wherein the job need not be submitted to the document processing subsystem multiple times.

Systems and methods for authentication of materials used in imaging members and assemblies. Authentication of imaging materials ensure that compatible components are being used with the imaging members and assemblies. Embodiments provide a system and method for efficiently detecting whether materials being used in the imaging members and assemblies are compatible and authentic materials authorized for such uses.

There is provided a printing machine for producing prints from a job, the printing machine including a first memory section for storing the job and a printing section with a second memory section. The second memory section communicates with the first memory section for receiving a copy of the job, the copy of the job being printed at the printing section so that job run information is created in response to the printing of the copy of the job. The created job run information is stored in a third memory section, the third memory section being linked with the first memory section by way of a reference for maintaining a record of the printing operations performed on the job.

A method of printing a selected print job, in a printing machine with a job file communicating with a print queue, is provided. The method includes the step of transmitting, to a proof user, a representation of at least a segment of the selected print job and a special instruction sheet. Preferably, the special instruction sheet has a proof event code and instructions regarding both a manner in which the proof user is to review the selected print job segment and provide proof-related information, regarding the selected print job segment, to the database. In practice, the proof-related information of the selected print job segment, with its corresponding proof event code, is received at the database and the database is updated by reference to the proof event code. In response to the updating, a copy of the selected print job is moved, from the job file to the print queue, so that prints, representative of the selected print job, are produced.

A job processing method and apparatus are provided for allowing an operator of an electronic reprographic system to be able to select deferred actions for inactive print jobs which are automatically initiated upon the detection of a specified triggering event. The job processing instruction set associated with the inactive job is implemented as soon as system resources are available after detection and identification of the triggering event. The triggering event can be one of a predetermined set of system operating conditions.
摘要:
A method of registering images on a user interface with a screen display in which separate electronic pages corresponding respectively with the first and second sides of an electronic duplex page are displayed on the user interface screen display simultaneously with a first image on the first side being disposed in a first position and a second image on the second side being disposed in a second position. The second image is moved on the screen display, relative to the first image so that the second image is disposed in the first position and is aligned with respect to the first image in a selected aligned relationship. Each of the separate electronic pages has a transparent background so that substantial portions of the second image are visible on the screen display even when the first image is superposed with respect to the second image. As a result of positioning the first and second images on the screen display, a hardcopy duplex print, reflecting the selected aligned relationship obtained through moving the second image on the screen display, is producible.
