    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and systems for altering an orientation of a logical cell at a multi-function device. In one embodiment, before rasterization, a user submits a job having multiple pages and an initial instruction to arrange ‘n’ number of pages on a single medium. Each page has a pre-defined orientation. Another instruction is received to alter a pre-defined orientation of a selected page in the corresponding logical cell. An N-up operation is performed to arrange the ‘n’ number of pages on the single medium. Each page arranged on the single medium represents a logical cell. While performing the N-up operation, the pre-defined orientation of a logical cell corresponding to the selected page is altered. The logical cell with the altered orientation is printed and the remaining logical cells with respective pre-defined orientation are printed on the single medium.

    Abstract: System(s) and method(s) for text enhancement in printing material saving mode are described. In an example, a method comprises identifying a type of a pixel based on edge tag data associated with the pixel, where the edge tag data is indicative of whether the pixel is an edge pixel or a non-edge pixel. The method further comprises determining at least one material saving parameter based on the type of the pixel. Further, the method comprises modifying a quantization error value based on the at least one material saving parameter. The method further comprises distributing the modified quantization error to a set of unprocessed pixels.

    Abstract: System(s) and method(s) for controlling a rate of consumption of printing material are described. The method includes receiving an image to be printed or copied and converting the image into a plurality of pixels. A value of a pixel, from among the plurality of pixels, is compared with a predefined threshold value. When the value of the pixel is below the predefined threshold value, a black pixel indicative of a pixel with printing material is generated. An error between the value of the pixel and a value of the black pixel is determined. The error value is multiplied by a gain value and then the weighted value of resultant is distributed among neighborhood pixels. The gain value is varied to control the rate of consumption of the printing material, as the consumption of the printing material is reduced when the gain value is increased.

    Abstract: Methods and devices create a first halftone image and a different second halftone image from a continuous tone image. A third halftone image is produced by identifying pixels that are common to both the first and second halftone images. A toner reduction mask is applied to the third halftone image to produce a fourth halftone image (the fourth halftone image has only holes and remaining ones of the common pixels). The holes are added to the first halftone image to create a reduced-toner halftone image. Further, edges of features within the continuous tone image are detected (to identify edge pixels of the edge features) and such edge pixels are added to the reduced-toner halftone image to produce a print-ready halftone image. Finally, such methods print the print-ready halftone image on print media.

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments illustrate an image processing method and system for classification of halftone frequencies. Pixel values of a first pixel block in a binary image are converted into first pixel values. A second pixel block comprising second pixel values is generated, based on pixel shifting in the first pixel block by a pre-determined count. A frequency value for a pixel-of-interest in the first pixel block is determined, based on a count of a pre-specified type of third pixel values. Other plurality of frequency values for other pixels-of-interest in other plurality of first pixel blocks are estimated when a mode value, corresponding to a plurality of frequency values of pixels-of-interest in a plurality of first pixel blocks, exceeds a pre-determined threshold mode value. Based on the determined plurality of frequency values, one or more image processing operations on the binary image are performed.

    Abstract: A method and a system for image compression are disclosed. An image is converted to a halftoned image. The one or more halftoned lines in the halftoned image comprise one or more pixels. A first transformed image is generated from the halftoned image based on shifting of the one or more pixels, associated with the one or more halftoned lines in the halftoned image, by a first value. A second transformed image is generated from the first transformed image based on shifting of the one or more pixels, associated with the one or more halftoned lines in the first transformed image, by a second value. Further, a compressed image is generated based on compression of the second transformed image. The compressed image is stored in a storage device. Another method and system for image conversion are disclosed that converts the compressed image back to the first transformed image.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for merging and including an additional electronic document in a scan job. The scan job can be initiated and controlled by an application module running on a mobile communications device and the scan job can be stored in a buffer associated with a MFD scanner. A scan option to merge the scan job with the additional electronic document can be selected via the mobile communications device. The additional electronic document can be decomposed into pages by an interpreter and stored in the buffer. The scan job and the decomposed electronic document stored in the buffer can be delivered to a marshaling service running on a network. The additional electronic document can be added to the scan job based on an order of merging in order to generate a combined electronic document by an electronic document builder configured with the marshaling service.
