摘要： Provided are a method, system, and program generating user defined marking settings to print marks to control post-processing devices. A user interface is generated to enable user input to define at least one marking setting comprising a name of the marking setting, a dimension of a marking, and a location of the marking on the print medium. Marking settings control a printer to output markings on a print medium. The outputted markings on the print medium control at least one post processor device to perform post processing operations on the print medium. User input is received from the user interface defining at least one marking setting. The user defined at least one marking setting is stored with an existing set of marking settings to control the printer.

摘要： A print controller, methods, and software are disclosed. A print controller of the invention includes applications, a parameter manager, and a notification system. The applications register with parameter manager those parameters for which they want to be notified when a change occurs. As part of the registration, the applications designate a callback identifier (CID) for each of the parameters, where an individual CID may be associated with a single parameter or a plurality of related parameters. Responsive to receiving an indication of changes to one or more of the parameters, the notification system identifies the applications registered to be notified of changes to the parameters, and identifies the CIDs associated with the parameters that have changed. The notification system then transmits one or more notification messages, including the identified CIDs for the changed parameters, to each application that is registered.

摘要： A system is disclosed. The system comprises one or more print controllers to generate print interrupt instructions in response to receiving a web splice signal indicating that a web splice on a web print medium has been detected, wherein the print interrupt instructions indicate a first side sheet image and a second side sheet image within a print job to pause prior to stopping printing, wherein the print interrupt instructions comprise gap instructions to open a first printhead gap at the first print engine and to open a second printhead gap at the second print engine, control printing of the first side sheet image on a first side of a web at a first print engine based on the print interrupt instructions, control printing of the second side sheet image to a second side of the web at a second print engine based on the print interrupt instructions, wherein the print interrupt instructions are generated based on a determination of an interrupted first side sheet image to be paused prior to opening the first printhead gap and a determination of an interrupted second side sheet image to be paused prior to opening the second printhead gap.
