Abstract: A system and method are provided to implement dynamic user intent-based imaging operations in image forming and document handling systems. A common framework is provided to implement the user-intent based imaging operations by which all of the individual component devices are able to be mapped to a particular user's desires such that an output from any particular image forming device in the complex image forming system meets the user's requirements/intent. Operations of component devices of a particular complex image forming system are defined logically. Mappings to the individual devices according to a common reference framework are then overlaid and manipulated according to the common framework. In this manner, a user directs imaging operations, including image shifts, for individual pages, subsets of pages or an entire document in the manner the user intends rather than according to a default understanding of the device.

Abstract: A system and method are provided by which a user can operate any particular image forming device in a manner that emulates any other particular image forming device. These systems and methods decouple the user from a device-specified origin, or device-specified order of operations, by affording the user an opportunity, at a graphical user interface of an image forming device, to pick an origin and an order of operations that the user desires be undertaken by the image forming device. An ability to pick which origins and orders of operations the user desires allows for establishment of a policy for image forming operations in multiple different image forming devices. The user can define the order of operations when the user walks up to the machine. Otherwise, a system administrator may set up a particular user desired origin and order of operations as a system policy to convert printing job tickets.

Abstract: A system and method are provided to find feasible and correct image forming flow paths for complex image forming systems by categorizing all possible orientations, in two dimensions for imaging operations, and in three dimensions for media handling operations, according to mathematical representations that can then be manipulated by matrix algebra. A given input orientation is provided as an input logic state and a desired output orientation is provided as an output logic state, each being defined according to a mathematical representation. A declarative programming scheme is applied that uses matrix algebra to manipulate the input mathematical representation in order to determine feasible, optimized, and possibly constrained operations to achieve the output mathematical representation. This approach abandons the time-consuming, haphazard, and fragile conventional approach of describing orientations descriptively, and inconsistently and then applying a trial and error method to arrive at a desired output state.

Abstract: A system and method for implementing selectable platen sheet rulers as one of technology-based dynamically adaptable platen sheet rulers or physically-replaceable platen sheet rulers or a plurality of physically-replaceable platens having associated with each a permanently-affixed set of platen sheet rulers for device emulation, are provided. The user is provided with a mechanism by which to select a different origin for imaging operations in an image forming device. To enable emulation on the image forming devices, selectable rulers are employed. Dynamically-adaptable rulers include liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, light emitting diode (LED) arrays or similar tools to configure platen sheet ruler displays to frame a platen of the image forming device to enable real-time changing of the platen sheet rulers. Separately, physically-replaceable rulers such as, for example, one of “snap-in” rulers that are changeable with respect to a set platens in the image forming device are provided.

Abstract: What is disclosed are a novel system and method for transforming coordinates in an image processing system. In one embodiment, image data is received in a first coordinate space and second coordinate space information is received. A first selection is made, based on a set of relative coordinate space mappings, to select at least a first transformation for mapping of the image data in the first coordinate space to an intermediate image canonical coordinate space using at least a first coordinate change matrix. The intermediate image canonical coordinate space has coordinates which are independent of the image processing system. A second selection is made, based on the set of relative coordinate space mappings, to select at least a second transformation for mapping from the intermediate image canonical coordinate space to the second coordinate space using at least a second coordinate change matrix to transform the intermediate image canonical coordinate space.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically defining composite orthogonal orientation transformation matrices for operations along multiple processing paths in document handling and image forming systems using orientation flow graphs in three dimensions. Individual nodes between operations or component devices in the system are identified. Individual operations that occur in the component devices between the identified individual nodes are described. Mathematical representations associated with each of the individual operations are specified. For a given path, the mathematical representations associated with each of the individual operations along that path, between each pair of nodes, are matrix multiplied to render a composite transformation matrix that represents an overall change in an orthogonal orientation along each of the individual processing paths. An inverse of the composite transformation matrix is applied to a mathematical representation of an output orthogonal orientation to define pre-flight conditions for image receiving media.
