    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods relating generally to pre-rendering prior receiving a command to print are disclosed. In such a method and system therefor, a determination is made that a document is open. An idle time is identified to pre-render at least a portion of the document prior to assertion of a print command therefor. At least the portion of the document is pre-rendered during the idle time thereof. In another method thereof, a determination is made that a document is offline. The document is determined to be a candidate to be pre-rendered. The document is pre-rendered to provide a rendered version thereof prior to assertion of a print command. The rendered version is cached.

    Abstract: Apparatuses related to identifying print jobs for pre-processing are disclosed. In an example apparatus thereof, a header is for pre-rendering a print job stored in a memory of a host device. A data page is for at least one page of the print job stored in the memory of the host device. The header includes job parameters for the pre-rendering. The job parameters include: a system identifier to identify the print job for the pre-rendering; a mode select to set for the pre-rendering; a job identifier to identify the print job from other print jobs by a printer engine or a print manager; and a cache select to set for caching a pre-rendered image for the print job after the pre-rendering thereof.

    Abstract: Apparatuses related to pre-rendering and storing prior to receiving a command to print for push printing is disclosed. In an example apparatus thereof, a memory is configured to store program code to provide a printing manager. At least one processor core is coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor core, in response to executing the program code, is configured to initiate operations for implementing the printing manager. The printing manager is configured to: receive a print job; pre-render the print job into a document image; store the document image; receive a push printing command; and download the document image to a printer engine responsive to the push printing command.

    Abstract: A color printing system includes a printing device and other components that use color printing resources, such as calibration and ICC profiles, to complete color printing operations. These color printing resources are used for a large number of paper types stored in a paper catalog. The paper types can be further placed into paper groups within the paper catalog. The paper groups may be formed by assigning new papers into the paper catalog to those having paper types with existing calibration data and ICC profiles. These relationships are shown in a paper catalog map. The print shop can use the paper catalog map for selling paper types, providing different capabilities for paper types, and other information. The paper catalog map also may be used to select a paper type from a primary paper type and a secondary paper type.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for decoding data streams are provided. A computing device can receive a decoder-input data stream (DIDS) encoded in a decoder-input format, the DIDS including a page table for pages in the DIDS, resources of the pages in the DIDS, and commands related to the resources, where the commands are in a binary format. The page table can refer to the pages of the DIDS. The resources can include reusable resources that are used multiple times in the DIDS, where each reusable resource is stored only once in the DIDS. The resources can be stored in first-come, first-served fashion in the DIDS. The computing device can decode the DIDS by executing the commands to generate an output depicting the pages. The computing device can provide the output depicting the pages.

    Abstract: Pre-rendering prior receiving a command to print is disclosed for a pre-rendering system. In an example thereof, system services are hosted in a server. An app is configured for communication with a printer driver of a computing device. A print manager is configured for networked communication with the server and the computing device. The print manager is configured for pre-rendering and caching of at least one document. A print medium handling device having a printer engine is configured for communication with the print manager and configured with an image processor and a graphics rendering component.

    Abstract: Methods related to pre-processing a print job are disclosed. In an example method thereof, it is determined whether a document file is loaded in an application for the print job. Identifying information for the document file is retrieved. A data set obtained from the identifying information is sent to a print manager. A print history for the document file is updated responsive to the data set. The print job includes: pre-rendering of the document file into a document image; and caching of the document image. Print settings of the print job are associated with the document file. The print settings are tracked to provide criteria data to identify frequency of use of the document file.
