Abstract: A system and method are provided for print job fingerprinting. The method comprises: accepting an electronically formatted document; generating a print job; in a spooling/despooling subsystem, accepting fingerprint information; and, adding a fingerprint image to the print job. That is, a fingerprinted print job is generated. In some aspects, the fingerprint is encrypted. The method further comprises: sending the fingerprinted print job, from the spooling/despooling subsystem, to a printer; and, generating a hardcopy of the document, with the fingerprint image. If the fingerprinted print job is rendered, for example copied, scanned, or converted into a different print job format, the rendered print job still includes the fingerprint image.

Abstract: Systems and methods for rendering a document in a native format at an imaging device using a host service for rendering into printer ready data. Documents/images are despooled to an imaging device in their native format for printing, wherein the imaging device includes the capability of discovering application/print server processes that render the document in its native format into a format compatible with the imaging device. The imaging device broadcasts job rendering requirements to one or more application/imaging servers, which in turn provide a response to the broadcast. One or more of the application/imaging servers are selectively chosen for use in rendering the document/print job, providing the device specific rendered job to the imaging device for rendering. In addition, when multiple compatible services are available, an optimal host service is determined and used for rendering into printer ready data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adding one or more document indicia when rendering an image without the use of a printer driver. In an image rendering system, a multi-subfile extension is used to represent multiple sub-images of a single page. A tree extension is used to efficiently group and locate sub-images. A NewSubfile Type tag is used to support sub-image types for overlays, underlays and composites/matting. A tag is used for specifying the order to merge page and sub-images. A tag is used for specifying the relative location within a page or sub-image to merge another sub-image or page image. A tag is used for specifying the relating scaling of a sub-image within a page or sub-image when merging the sub-image. A pre-fabricated form is used for page numbering. A pre-fabricated sub-image database of tile images is used for page numbers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for load balancing toner use of multiple printer, clevices such that the printer devices more evenly consume their respective toner in the rendering of print jobs. A printer device printing order is dynamically set based on printer toner, wherein the dynamic nature of setting the includes monitoring toner status on each printer device, monitoring toner levels on each printer device, setting the preference order by toner status, setting the preference order by toner level, redirecting print jobs from out-of-toner printer devices to printer devices with toner, redirecting print jobs from low-toner printer devices to printer devices with toner, and/or the like. Accordingly, the printer device printing order is dynamically set according to toner utilization, while still preserving the load balancing of print jobs in the system.

Abstract: Systems and methods for describing imaging tasks across a distributed environment of imaging clients, servers and devices, wherein the tasks include complex imaging operations, and interchanging imaging data and operations. The imaging jobs include diverse imaging tasks that can be constructed in a single program unit. The imaging tasks are constructed using a single imaging job language and common interface across all imaging devices, clients and servers, or managers thereof. A manager communicates with the imaging components through the common interface and translates the operations into the communication methods that are compatible with the devices, clients and servers. Composite imaging jobs are selectively dispatched to diverse imaging components through a single imaging spooler subsystem. Further, distribution may occur across various imaging devices, clients and/or servers, such that a first imaging system performs some subset of steps, deletes the executed steps and makes the appropriate substitutions or interchanges and the portion is performed by a second and/or subsequent imaging system.
