Abstract:
A graphical user interface (GUI) is disclosed. The GUI includes a menu bar to display one or more menus, a GUI guide button and a GUI guide to simultaneously display commands in each of the one or more menus in response to a selection of the GUI guide button.
Abstract:
A printing system is disclosed. The printing system includes a display page system having a storage device to store content for banner messages to be included in banner advertisements and a page generator to select one or more banner messages from the stored content upon detecting a trigger event and generate a banner advertisement that includes the selected banner messages. The printing system also includes a user interface having a display component to display the banner advertisement.
Abstract:
A print control unit coupled with a printer, the print control unit electronically connected to the host to provide one or more base resources to a unique Object Identifier (OID) generator, the one or more base resources including printing instructions. The unique OID generator generates a unique OID relating to a derived resource via a unique OID generation module. The unique OID includes the printing instructions of the one or more base resources. A resource generator internally generates the derived resource.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed. The method includes applying a human visual system (HVS) model to a Continuous Tone Image (CTI) and a initial Half Tone Image (HTI) to generate a perceived CTI and a perceived HTI and computing a change in pixel error for a first pixel by toggling the first pixel with all the possible output states and swapping the first pixel with all neighbor pixels.
Abstract:
A print control unit coupled with a printer, the print control unit having host to provide partial resource components to a complex resource generator, the partial resources components including printing instructions. The complex resource generator to generate a shell representing a complex resource, generate a partial complex resource having the partial resource components, the shell to hold the partial complex resource, and store the partial complex resource to be referenced later.

Abstract:
A computer generated method disclosed. The method includes examining a print job data stream spooled in a spooled print production file, identifying one or more white space regions within documents in the print production file accessing an external source for selection of an advertisement to insert into each of the white space regions and inserting an advertisement into each of the white space regions.
Abstract:
A printing system includes a print system to print data received at the printing system, a color image recording device to measure one or more control patches from the data printed at the print system and a control unit to compare measurement data from the control patches to data from available International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles to select an appropriate ICC profile corresponding the control patches.

Abstract:
Methods and systems herein provide for flexible formatting of print jobs and their associated logical pages. One N-up printing system is adapted to receive a print job from a host system for printing to a tangible medium. The print job includes at least a first logical page. The printing system includes an N-up formatter interface adapted to receive formatting parameters. The printing system also includes an N-up formatter that is communicatively coupled to the N-up formatter interface. The N-up formatter is adapted to generate a first page inclusion object based on the formatting parameters. The N-up formatter is further adapted to input the first logical page to the first page inclusion object and position the first logical page within the first page inclusion object.
