摘要： Systems and methods for encoding high resolution data associated with a relatively large number of bits to an encoded form having a relatively reduced number of bits. The method includes, by a processor: receiving an input image comprising one or more high resolution objects. The method further includes, for each of the one or more high resolution objects: identifying an object family for that object and determining whether a reference table exists for the object family. If a reference table exists for the object family, the method includes determining a size of that object, and identifying a tag based on the size. The method also includes encoding that object to form an encoded object having a relatively reduced number of bits, associating the identified tag with the encoded object, and saving the encoded object.

摘要： Methods and devices receive a print job, evaluate the print job to identify job parameter settings and associated sources of the job parameter settings, transmit the job parameter settings and the associated sources to a database, and transmit the print job to a marking device to cause the marking device to print the print job. These methods and devices also provide access to the database to view the job parameter settings and the associated sources, and/or change the job parameter settings. The access to the database is provided before and/or after the marking device prints the print job. When evaluating the print job, these methods and devices identify “potential” and “final” job parameter settings and associated sources. The final settings and sources are used to perform marking and finishing operations, while the potential setting and sources comprise a pre-printing, job preparation history in the database.

摘要： Methods, devices, and systems process print jobs and identify print job settings originating from sources other than the system's existing set of print queues. These methods, devices, and systems can then identify frequently occurring combinations of such setting values. With these combinations as input, they can create new, additional print queues (that are formed in addition to the existing print queues) that apply these frequently occurring setting values to additional print jobs that are subsequently processed through the additional print queues; or can create attribute subsets which can be presented as menu selections to simplify subsequent creation of print queues, or updating of print queue programming or individual job programming.

摘要： According to exemplary methods, a print job is received into a computerized device. The computerized device includes a marking device having a programmed color space. The print job includes an electronic document and print job attributes with a spot color for use in rendering the print job. Raster processing of the electronic document is performed. An object in the electronic document involving the spot color is identified. Definition of the spot color is verified for the marking device. Responsive to the spot color not being defined for the marking device, color values for each pixel in the object are modified to zero. Overprint is enabled for the object so that underlying objects will show through.

摘要： A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing a spot color proof are disclosed. For example, the method includes receiving a request to print a print job, determining one or more spot colors in the print job, translating the one or more spot colors into a respective color value of a color model used by a printer that is selected to print the print job, generating the spot color proof that includes a patch of each one of the one or more spot colors printed in the respective color value and the respective color value, and printing the spot color proof.

摘要： A processor of a printing device automatically raster image processes print data in a print job to produce a first, relatively low resolution, bitmap for printing the print job with the printer's main colors and one or more optional colors. The processor automatically compares the extended gamut of the lower-resolution first bitmap and the main color gamut of the printing engine to identify image quality improvement pixels of the extended gamut that are outside the main color gamut. The processor automatically either raster image processes the print data with the main colors and one of the optional colors, or raster image processes the print data with only the main colors, based on whether the number of image quality improvement pixels of the extended gamut that are outside the main color gamut exceeds a pixel quantity threshold, to produce a second, relatively higher resolution, bitmap.

摘要： A printing processor receives print job instructions to combine variable printing information and fixed data to build a print job to be printed using a printing engine. The variable printing information is unrasterized-type data. The printing processor evaluates the print job instructions to determine whether the configuration of the variable printing information is compatible with configurations of different fixed data forms (the fixed data forms are rasterized-type data). The graphic user interface displays menu selections of only the fixed data forms determined to be compatible with the configuration of the variable printing information.

摘要： Systems and methods for facilitating processing of at least one value of attribute(s) on a device such as an imaging device or a printing device. A method includes providing a GUI including graphical format object(s) corresponding to a number of attributes on a display device associated with the device. The method further includes allowing a user to manipulate the graphical format object(s) by dragging the graphical format object(s) of the GUI. The method also includes creating a graphical representation for the attributes based on the manipulation of the graphical format objects by the user. The method also includes defining one or more values of the attributes based on the graphical representation. Further, the method includes saving the graphical representation and the values of the attributes. One or more operations can be executed on the device based on the saved graphical representation and the values of the attributes.

摘要： A print job is received into a print engine having an image processor. A page of the print job is analyzed for a color gamut and for clear toner. For multi-pass print jobs, toner usage per pixel for each color of the color gamut and the clear toner is determined. Adjusted pixel values for the clear toner are calculated using a predetermined percentage. Adjusted pixel values for the color toner are calculated for each color of the color gamut based on the maximum toner limit. A first layer of the page is rendered using the adjusted pixel values. Then, the adjusted pixel values are scaled for clear toner usage based on the predetermined percentage for the clear toner on the first pass using a tone reproduction curve. Subsequent layers of the page are rendered in selected passes using only the scaled pixel values for clear toner usage.
