Abstract:
Methods, systems and processor-readbale media for preventing a job/set splitting across a stacker. A splitting prevention module can be configured to include a prevent job splitting feature or a prevent set splitting feature. The prevent job splitting feature and the prevent set splitting feature can be selected by a user so that the stacker will not begin stacking the job/set unless the stacker possesses a capacity for stacking the complete job/set. The stacker automatically unloads the job/set with respect to a job/set boundary provided by the user. Such an approach prevents the jobs/sets from being split when the stacker goes full.
Abstract:
Printing devices include a printer power supply, a printer processor connected to the printer power supply, printing components connected to the printer power supply and the printer processor, and a tablet interface device connected to the printer processor and the printer power supply. The tablet interface device includes a tablet processor, a USB connection electrically connected to the tablet processor and the printer power supply, and a touchscreen surface electrically connected to the tablet processor. The tablet processor is adapted to operate independently of the printer processor.
Abstract:
A job includes pages that have multiple items positioned according to coordinates. A sheet coordinate location identifier for each of the items (that corresponds to the coordinates for the items) is added to the job. The job is printed to produce printed sheets of items (printed items) printed according to the coordinates. A cutting device cuts the printed sheets, according to the coordinates, into individually cut items. Each of the cut items includes the sheet coordinate location identifier printed thereon, and this identifies the pre-cutting locations of the cut items within the uncut sheets of print media. The cut items are inspected for cutting defects to identify defective items. Pre-cutting locations of the defective items are identified using only the sheet coordinate location identifier printed on the defective items. A repair recommendation for the cutting device is based on the most common pre-cutting location of the defective items.
