Appl. No.:

09/970101

Inventors:

Truc D. Nguyen - San Diego CA, US
Vincent Wu - Irvine CA, US

Assignee:

Toshiba Tec Kabushiki Kaisha - Tokyo

International Classification:

G06K015/02
G06F003/12
G06F013/00

US Classification:

358 12, 358 19, 358 16

Abstract:

A method and system are provided for formatting documents for printing in a selected format and resolution upon determination that the software program generating the print job is incapable of creating a document in the selected layout and at the selected resolution. The process of formatting the document involves causing the software program to generate a print job at a resolution lower than that selected by the user. Images of pages generated by the software program are then formed and printed at a higher resolution, such that the images formed on the printed pages are resized to fit multiple images on one printed page.

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

358 113, 358 115

Abstract:

Printing architecture for direct printing of an imaged document in a print controller. Document image data is generated representative of document information of an input document. A conversion module is called to format the document image data into a second data, which second data includes the document information of the input document. The second data is enqueued for output, and output as an output document at the highest output speed of the print controller.

US Classification:

358 12, 358 113, 358 19

Abstract:

A system and method for converting an image to the available paper size being used by the image forming apparatus. A print job is sent to a spooler. A RIP processor then generates image faces for the print job. After the RIP process, the image forming apparatus converts the print job to the paper being used by the image forming apparatus. The print job may also be scaled if desired. Typical conversions are Letter size to A4, A4 to Letter size, Ledger size to A3, and A3 to Ledger size.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method and system for testing the output of a digital imaging system. The method comprises the steps of sending a test job to a test digital imaging system and generating test information. The test information suitably comprises a plurality of computed values, each computed value corresponding to a portion of the test job. The test information is then compared with control information produced by sending the test job to a control digital imaging system. In addition, the invention provides a digital imaging device designed to accept test job and capable of generating the test information upon initiation of testing procedures.

US Classification:

358 115, 358 11, 358 111, 358 112, 358 118, 347 19

Abstract:

Architecture for providing tab printing for a computer platform. A text data stream is generated and transmitted from the computer platform to a print controller, which text data steam includes tab information. The text data stream is parsed at the print controller to extract the tab information. A tab image file of the tab information is created from the tab information at the print controller. A face file is created from the tab image file, ad forwarded to a peripheral output device, where the peripheral output device processes the face file to output a tab document having the tab information.

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345173, 345156, 345168, 345169, 715773

Abstract:

An image processing apparatus comprising a controller, a scanner coupled to the controller, an external video port coupled to the controller, and an external video monitor coupled to the video port. The controller comprising a component object module for communicating between the controller and a user interface to be displayed on the external video monitor. When an image is scanned by the scanner, a scanned image is created, the scanned image is stored by the controller and the component object module causes the scanned image to be displayed on the external monitor. The component object interface receives input from the external monitor and communicates the input to the controller. The scanned image is previewed on one portion of the external monitor while commands may be simultaneously received at another portion of the external monitor.

US Classification:

358 115, 37910001, 37910013

Abstract:

A method for an online Web Server to process print requests for a remote printing. The request is sent by a client using the Internet Printing Protocol to the Server. The server then parses the request and determines the destination for the print job. The print job is then routed to the destination. If the destination printer does not support the Internet Printing Protocol, then the Server converts the print job to a format compatible with the destination printer and sends the job to the printer.
