Appl. No.:

11/695791

Inventors:

Javier A. Morales - Rochester NY, US
Arlene Buck - Webster NY, US
Michael E. Farrell - Ontario NY, US

Assignee:

Xerox Corporation - Norwalk CT

International Classification:

H04N 1/40
H04N 1/50
G06K 9/78

US Classification:

Abstract:

Embodiments herein include a method of adding color to a monochrome (single color printing) document that begins by inputting/creating colorization rules relating to the previously printed monochromatic document and scanning the previously printed monochromatic document to locate rasterized data. After the scanning, the method performs optical character recognition on the rasterized data to search for text corresponding to the previously printed monochromatic document. After the rules are input and the rasterized data is produced, the method automatically colorizes portions of rasterized content according to the colorization rules and this generates a colorized electronic document.

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715243, 715200

Abstract:

A method for assembling a document generates a set of candidate content items for inclusion in the document. The content items may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A set of production criteria for printing the candidate content items as a document may be selected. An inclusion constraint is automatically applied to the set of production criteria. If the set of production criteria does not satisfy the inclusion constraint, a conflict may be resolved. One or more production criteria in the set may be identified that may be modified. A user selection of at least one production criteria that may be modified may be received. The identified production criteria may be modified according to the user selection. A document may be created that includes the modified production criteria and the candidate content items. The document may be published.

International Classification:

G06F 17/30

US Classification:

707 6

Abstract:

A method for assembling a document generates a set of candidate content items for inclusion in the document. The content items may be stored in a computer-readable storage medium. An inclusion constraint is automatically applied to the set to determine whether the set satisfies the inclusion constraint. If the set does not satisfy the inclusion constraint, a conflict may be resolved by identifying one or more candidate content items in the set to be removed and removing the identified candidate content items from the set. A document may be created that includes the candidate content items that were not removed. The document may be published.

International Classification:

H04N 121

US Classification:

358401

Abstract:

A method of printing a job to produce a set of prints in a printing system with a print file, the print file being divided into a first buffer and a second buffer where the print file communicates with a marker. The marker employs a set of a first type of print-related information and a set of a second type of print-related information for producing the set of prints. The method includes the step of filling the first buffer with a first portion of the set of the first type of print-related information and the second buffer with the a first portion of the set of the second type of print-related information. The method further includes the step of reading, with the marker, the first portion of the set of the first type of print-related information from the first buffer and the first portion of the set of the second type of print-related information from the second buffer. When the first portion of the set of the first type of print-related information has been read by the marker, the first buffer is filled with a second portion of the set of the first type of print-related information.
