Abstract:
Methods (48, 100, 120) and systems are provided for tracing the source of a printed document (72). A method (48) may include receiving (50) a print job for printing a page having page content (54), generating a log (56) of the print job, encoding (60) the log (56) using a mule image (62) to produce a data-bearing halftone image, merging (64) the data-bearing halftone image with the page content (54), and printing (70) the merged data-bearing halftone image and page content (54) to produce a printed document (72).
Abstract:
Method and system aspects for digital image stamp positioning are disclosed. A method aspect, and system for providing same, positions a stamp (800, 810, 820) in a digital image captured with a digital image capture unit (114) independently of the digital image orientation. Included are the selecting of at least two offset values for a stamp (800, 810, 820), identifying of an area in an image for placing the stamp (500, 810, 820) based on the at least two offset values. Additionally included is the positioning of the stamp (800, 810, 820) within the identified area based on the at least two offset values.

Abstract:
A computer system (10) is described that includes a capability to receive and store graphic images form remote facsimile machines (30). The system includes a software (16) that can convert graphic images of textual material into an ASCII coded file so that either keywords or the converted text may be converted to speech giving the adressee-user the ability to review incoming facsimiles from a remote telephone (36). The system includes a relay capability, the capability to print on command and to originate fascimiles either from text files or scanned papers.
