| 20080229940 | Printer system and method for recovery from a document assembly failure - A system and method are provided for recovering from print assembly failure in a printer with printed medium assembly capabilities. The method generates a first print set including a plurality of physical medium sheets, and stores the first print set of a first interim stacker. A second print set is generated including a plurality of physical medium sheets. Sheets are accessed sheets from the first interim stacker and assembled with sheets from the second print set, generating a final print set with a plurality of sheets in a first order. The final print set is stored in an output stacker. In the event of a first print set failure, first print set replacement sheets are generating. In one aspect, generating the final print set includes directly merging first print set replacement sheets (bypassing the interim stacker) with sheets from the second print set. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20090219550 | Interface for Building a Print Container - A method is provided for creating a print container with a series of resident fixed documents. The method opens a user interface (UI). Using the UI, a first plurality of elements stored in memory is selected and a print container is created. The print container preserves a second plurality of elements as separate entities in the print container. For example, a print container may have an element hierarchy of jobs in the print container, fixed documents in a job, and fixed pages in a fixed document may be created. Elements are defined as print containers, fixed documents, application-specific documents, page description language (PDL) documents, extensible markup language (XML) paper specification (XPS) fixed documents, or combinations of the above-mentioned elements. In one aspect, the selected elements are extensible markup language (XML) paper specification (XPS) fixed documents, which are preserved as separate entities in an XPS container. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090237734 | Methods and Systems for Print-Data Rendering - Aspects of the present invention are related to systems and methods for generating rendered data for printing. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20090251719 | PERFORMANCE MONITORING AND CONTROL OF A MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER - A method and system for monitoring performance of a multifunction printer (MFP) throughout the lifetime of the MFP. The MFP may include a task run-time controller to collect performance information from the MFP and to transmit the performance information to a receiver such as a host, an MFP front panel, or a website. The task run-time controller may include a high resolution timer to collect task execution times or idle time for tasks running on the MFP. The task run-time controller may also receive internal task scheduling policy alterations based on an analysis of the performance information. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20090254908 | CUSTOM SCHEDULING AND CONTROL OF A MULTIFUNCTION PRINTER - A method and system for implementing custom scheduling policies including making alterations to internal task scheduling policies or firmware operating within the MFP throughout the lifetime of the MFP. Internal task scheduling policy alterations can be made either remotely or on-site at a customer location. Custom scheduling policies can be implemented for different periods of time. The MFP includes a task run-time controller to receive and process the internal task scheduling policy alterations. The task run-time controller includes a task tuner, which may implement the internal task scheduling policy alterations responsive to usage characteristics of the MFP. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100058194 | Remote Desktop on Multi-Function Peripheral - Systems, devices, methods, and computer-readable media for executing the remote access via an MFP of one or more computing devices in a network of computing devices originating jobs for the MFP based on a database comprising the IP address and password for each job-originating computing device logged into the network. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20100125849 | Idle Task Monitor - A system and method are provided for determining processor usable idle time in a system employing a software instruction processor. The method establishes an idle task with a lowest processor priority for a processor executing application software instructions, and uses the processor to execute an idle task. The method ceases to execute the idle task in response to the processor executing application software instructions. The amount of periodic idle task execution is determined and stored in a tangible memory medium. For example, idle time amounts can be determined per a unit of time, i.e. a percentage per second. In one aspect, the method generates an idle task report. The report can be a periodic report expressing the duration of idle task execution per time period, or a course of execution report expressing idle task start times, idle task stop times, and durations between the corresponding start and stop times. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100214315 | ENCODING CMYK DATA FOR DISPLAY USING INDEXED RGB - Machine-enabled methods of, and devices for, encoding color bitmap data as indexed red-green-blue (RGB) data for display. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100214577 | ENCODING OF NON-INDEXED DATA FOR PRINTING USING INDEXED RGB - Machine-enabled methods of, and devices and systems for, encoding color bitmap data as indexed red-green-blue (RGB) data for printing and optional multi-functional peripheral (MFP) device raster image processor (RIP) bypass. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100214614 | Context-aware printing method and system - A context-aware printing method and system invoke contextual rendering tags to realize more flexible printing. The contextual rendering tags provide information about the nature or purpose of print elements in a document and are used to identify and selectively modify print elements in a given print instance of the document at the discretion of the user. The contextual rendering tags provide added flexibility in printing by enabling a user to make a broad array of purpose-driven modifications and enabling a document to be printed in multiple instances and in any sequence with modifications indicated by all contextual rendering tags, modifications indicated by a subset of contextual rendering tags or no context-based modifications. For example, print elements that are designated nonessential by contextual rendering tags can be excluded from a printed document in a first print instance to reduce ink consumption and included in a printed document in a second print instance where an unaltered document is required. | 08-26-2010 |
