摘要:
A drawing which is calibrated to fit a source print media with a first size is scaled to fit a destination print media with a second size. A printer driver determines a total scaling factor by which the drawing is to be scaled in order to fit the destination print media. The printer driver also determines an integer scaling factor which is to be used by a printer to scale the drawing before printing the drawing. The printer driver additionally determines a virtual (or "fake") resolution to be reported to an operating system as the resolution of the printer. The virtual resolution is equal to a true resolution used by the printer multiplied by a real scale factor. The real scale factor is equal to the total scaling factor divided by the integer scaling factor. The printer driver reports the virtual resolution to the operating system. When print output is received by the printer driver from the operating system, the printer driver scales the print output by the integer scaling factor before the print output is printed.

A print preview of a print job is performed. An operating system forwards to a printer driver, printing calls for the print job. The printer driver translates the printing calls to display calls for the print job. The printer driver forwards the display calls through the operating system to a display driver. The display driver displays a representation of the print job on a display.

A method for determining a printing position, such as for image-on-paper registration in a printer or photocopying machine, is disclosed. A fiducial mark pattern comprising a plurality of fiducial marks at predefined relative distances is provided on a printing medium, and is scanned. The fiducial marks and a first edge of the printing medium are identified in a scanned representation of the printing medium. A first distance between the first edge and a first fiducial mark is determined, and a second distance between a second fiducial mark and a third fiducial mark are likewise determined from the scanned representation of the printing medium. The distance between the fiducial mark pattern and the first edge is computed based on both the determined first distance and the determined second distance. The invention also relates to a corresponding system and a computer-readable medium for determining a printing position.

A system and method are provided for calibrating a beam array of a printer. The method includes the operation of printing a dot pattern using the beam array of the printer. The dot pattern can then be scanned into an electronic file using an optical scanner. Another operation is calculating distance calibration errors found in the dot pattern in the electronic file using a software module applied to the electronic file.
