Abstract: A technique to compress multidimensional color look-up tables by computing an inexpensive fit to the contents of the tables is provided. At each node of the table, the difference between the result of evaluating the fit and the original value at that node are completed. In one form, the parameters of the fit and the differences are stored and compressed, possibly losslessly.

Abstract: A system using a spatial correction to improve the result of a printer calibration and correction is described. More particularly, in one form, a spatial correction may be used to pre-condition a printer for an improved color calibration. In another form, spatial correction and color calibration are addressed in the same process for color correction.

Abstract: According to an aspect of the disclosure, a printing system is provided comprising a plurality of resources including idle and non-idle resources having a at least one image marking engine. The plurality of resources includes a page parallel RIP system wherein the RIP system supports configurable sized print chunks. The RIP system adaptively adjusts the size of the chunks according to the busyness of receiving RIP nodes.

Abstract: A printing system is provided comprising a plurality of resources including idle and non-idle resources having a plurality of image marking engines and a user interface for inputting user determinable priority criteria for a first print job. All of the non-idle resources are assigned to the first print job when the first print job is the only print job; and, a resource fraction of the non-idle resources is assigned to the first print job when there is at least a second print job.

Abstract: An image rendering system includes a digital front end to electronically analyze image data to generate geometry dependent image content information. A print engine, operatively connected to the digital front end, renders the image data. A print engine controller, operatively connected to the digital front end and the print engine, controls various parameters of the print engine. The digital front end transmits the image content information to the print engine controller. The print engine controller adjusts a parameter of the print engine based on the transmitted image content information. The transmitted image content information may be coverage information, reload information, and/or toner pile height information. The parameter of the print engine adjusted based upon the transmitted image content information may be fuser temperature and/or process speed of a developer housing and/or flow rate of toner into a developer housing.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described that facilitate calibrating a scanner by capturing a plurality of white calibration files and generating a mathematical function that models the scanner. For instance, a white calibration file can be captured before and after a page is scanned, and the function can be an average of offset and gain values for pixels in scanlines of the scanned page. Three or more white calibration files can be used to generate a linear function (e.g., using linear regression) or an exponential function describing the gain an offset values of the pixels.

Abstract: A method and system is provided for splitting a print job into its preamble and at least one chunk. The splitter maintains a collection of RIP node addresses to which chunks of the job currently being split have already been sent. When a new chunk is about to be sent, the splitter checks whether each RIP node address has already received a chunk. If the RIP node has not already received a chunk, the splitter sends the preamble as well as the chunk to an available RIP associated with the RIP node. If, however, the RIP node address has already received a chunk, only the portion of the chunk after the preamble is sent to an available RIP associated with the RIP node and communicate the location of the preamble to the available RIP node. The preamble may contain common content for each job.

Abstract translation: 提供了一种用于将打印作业分解成其前导码和至少一个块的方法和系统。 分配器维护目前正在拆分的作业块已经发送到的RIP节点地址的集合。 当新的组块即将发送时，分片器会检查每个RIP节点地址是否已经收到一个块。 如果RIP节点尚未收到块，则分离器将前导码以及该块发送到与RIP节点相关联的可用RIP。 然而，如果RIP节点地址已经接收到一个块，则只有前导码之后的块的部分才被发送到与RIP节点相关联的可用RIP，并且将该前导码的位置传送到可用的RIP节点。 前导码可能包含每个作业的常见内容。

Abstract: A method for converting a specified color value from a first color space to a second color space identifies the specified color value in the first color space. A converted color space value is received from a final lookup table. The converted color space value is previously determined as a function of the specified color value and a mid-point interpolation and represents the specified color in the second color space. The converted color space value is stored in a memory device.

Abstract: The presently described embodiments provide for halftone-aligned averaging and noise reduction in a calibration method and associated system. Halftone-aligned averaging is implemented, in one form, as a method of averaging in which the window over which an average is computed is a multiple of the halftone period. Noise reduction, in one illustrative embodiment, comprises discarding windows having an average outside of the range from the 5th to the 95th percentiles of all windows for a patch.
