Abstract: A raster image processor (RIP) system is used in a printing system to process a variety of different jobs. A front end receives the jobs and determines the job type. The job types include a print job, a preview job, and an estimation job. Depending on the type of job, the front end configures the RIPs within RIP system accordingly to process the job. The RIPs may process the job in parallel, with a high performance RIP processing the first page of the job. If the job is not processed in parallel, then the front end assigns the job to a very high performance RIP. The front end also assigns the preview job to a preview RIP and the estimation job to an estimation RIP. The front end configures RIPs as needed.

Abstract: A printing system includes a digital front end (DFE) system connected to a plurality of printing devices. The DFE system manages printing operations to the plurality of printing devices. The DFE system also includes a printing device connectivity manager to manage connections with the printing devices. Printing connectivity modules are installed at the printing device connectivity manager using application programming interfaces (APIs) that are loaded at the creation of the printing connectivity modules. The DFE system also includes a display device connectivity manager to manage connections with display devices using display connectivity modules and display connectivity APIs. The DFE system also includes a storage connectivity manager to manage data storage and storage devices using storage connectivity modules and storage connectivity APIs.

Abstract: Example systems and related methods may relate to compressing a plurality of data channels. An example embodiment may include a controller determining a plurality of interleave allocations within a memory allocation. The interleave allocations correspond to a plurality of planes, which may represent color information planes. The plurality of data channels may be compressed into a plurality of compressed data channels. Subsequently, each of the plurality of compressed data channels may be stored at respective interleave allocations. A full interleave allocation condition may be determined based on a capacity of a respective interleave allocation being less than a predetermined threshold. In response to determining the full interleave allocation condition, a new interleave allocation may be requested from the controller. In response, the controller may determine a new interleave allocation.
Abstract translation: 示例系统和相关方法可以涉及压缩多个数据信道。 示例性实施例可以包括控制器,其确定存储器分配内的多个交织分配。 交织分配对应于可以表示颜色信息平面的多个平面。 多个数据信道可以被压缩成多个压缩数据信道。 随后,可以以相应的交织分配存储多个压缩数据信道中的每一个。 可以基于小于预定阈值的相应交织分配的容量来确定完全交织分配条件。 响应于确定完整交织分配条件,可以从控制器请求新的交织分配。 作为响应,控制器可以确定新的交织分配。

Abstract: Example systems and related methods may relate to monitoring performance of an image forming operation. Namely, a system includes an image forming apparatus configured to execute an operation in response to receiving instructions to execute the operation. The system further includes an external sensor circuit that includes one or more sensors and a processor. The one or more sensors are configured to detect a status of a first operational parameter of the image forming apparatus indicative of the image forming apparatus executing the operation and detect a status of a second operational parameter of the image forming apparatus indicative of the image forming apparatus executing an intervening operation. The system further includes a host computing device. The host computing device is configured to generate a plurality of timestamps indicative of when the image forming apparatus executed the operation and when the image forming apparatus executed the intervening operation.

Abstract: Example systems and related methods may relate to monitoring performance of an image forming operation. Namely, a system may include an image forming apparatus configured to execute an operation. The system further includes an external sensor circuit comprising one or more sensors and a processor. The system yet further includes a host computing device configured to generate, in response to receiving notifications of a status of the operational parameter received from the one or more processors of the sensor circuit, a first timestamp indicative of when the image forming apparatus started to execute the printing operation, and a second timestamp indicative of when the image forming apparatus completed the printing operation. The host computing device is further configured to generate a log file. Data of the log file includes the first timestamp and the second timestamp, and is indicative of how quickly the image forming apparatus executed the operation.
