摘要:
An electronic printing system for printing bound documents such as books in which the pages of the document are placed face down in registered position on the platen of a scanner programmed to scan either or both sides of the page and provide image signals representative of the image scanned, and a printer programmable to either print both sides of a page on a common print media sheet or on separate print media sheets.

An electronic printing system with a security system for protecting the security of a user's files and programs through the intermediary of a user profile for each user administered to by a Security administrator at the site or from a remote site.
摘要:
A print job processing method and apparatus for use in an electronic reprographic system are described. Original documents of a job to be printed are scanned to provide signals for storage. The signals are transferred to a printer for print generation. An optimum time to commence printer operation is automatically determined in accordance with at least one of the number of original documents, the thickness of original documents, scanner speed, printer speed, and number of print jobs in the system. The optimum time is determined such that the maximum overlap is achieved between scanner operation and printer operation.
摘要:
A high speed electronic printing system in which the number of paper trays for supplying print media is substantially less than the number of different print media selections that can be programmed for each print job, with a system for identifying missing print media while printing together with an available paper tray into which the print media can be loaded to allow uninterrupted processing of print jobs.
摘要:
An electronic printing system for printing multiple up images in which image signals representative of the multiple up image may be input from a remote source or a small document bearing the multiple up image scanned to provide image signals, the size of the multiple up image determined, the size of the paper stock on which the multiple up images are to be printed determined, and the maximum number of multiple up images that can be printed without interference on the paper stock calculated for printing.
摘要:
A method is provided for labeling a job in a printing system. The method includes the steps of partitioning the job into a first set with a plurality of electronic pages and a second set with a plurality of electronic pages; storing a first electronic label and a second electronic label in memory; and displaying, on a display screen, a print outline with a selected identifiable area, the selected identifiable area being positionable on the print outline for representing a relative size, location and orientation of an area on a print upon which an electronic label is to be printed. In practice a first location, at which a copy of the first electronic label is to be printed on a first selected print resulting from the printing of the plurality of electronic pages of the first set and a second location, at which a copy of the second electronic label is to be printed on a second selected print resulting from the printing of the plurality of electronic pages of the second set, are indicated with the print outline. In response to such indication, a first print set, with the copy of the first electronic label applied on the first selected print at the first location, and a second print set, with the copy of the second electronic label applied on the second selected print at the second location, are produced.
摘要:
A process of addressing sets in which a list of M addresses is stored in a memory of a printer and the printer is programmed to print one or more sets of N prints on print media. A print outline, with a selected identifiable area superimposed thereon, is displayed on an interactive display screen. In one example of operation, copies of the M addresses from the list are successively printed on N prints at the selected identifiable area on each of the N prints.
摘要:
An automatic signature printing process for an electronic printing system having a source of signature sheets, a programmer to program the system to print jobs including signatures; an input scanner for scanning and converting the documents to electronic images; and a controller to re-order the electronic images to print two electronic images separated by a gutter on each side of the signature sheets, the controller determining from the number of originals and the number of electronic images on each signature the total number of signatures to be printed.
摘要:
An electronic reprographics/printing machine with at least one scanning array for converting images on documents to image signals, a document tray for holding a stack of the documents to be scanned, a document transport to bring the documents from the tray to the array for scanning, a controller, an input device such as a keyboard, mouse, touch display, etc. for programming in programming parameters with an associated separator code, a control sheet with a bar code representation of the same separator code for interleaving with the documents for scanning by the array, a bar code discriminator for distinguishing documents with bar codes from documents without bar codes, a bar code reader for reading the bar code to identify the separator code thereon, and a control to match the separator code obtained from the control sheet with the separator code associated with the programming parameters whereby the controller operates the machine in accordance with the program parameters.
摘要:
There is provided a document processing system including at least one document reproduction apparatus and managing on-demand output of a document job. The document job is characterized by a set of job attributes with each job attribute relating to a manner in which the document job is to be processed by the document processing system. The document processing system, which further includes a document server for managing conversion of the document job into the on-demand output, includes: a plurality of queues mapped to a plurality of document processing subsystems, each of the plurality of queues including a set of queue attributes characterizing the extent to which each document processing subsystem mapped to one or more of the plurality of queues is capable of processing a job portion delivered to the one or more queues. The document processing system further includes a queue utility communicating with the plurality of queues. The queue utility compares the set of job attributes and each set of queue attributes to generate a set of information corresponding the set of job attributes with those queues, among the plurality of queues, that are capable of completely processing at least a portion of the document job. In practice, at least a portion of the document job is corresponded with one of the plurality of queues based on the set of information generated by the queue utility.
