Appl. No.:

12/263095

Inventors:

Charles D. Johnson - Boulder CO, US
Lisa A. Morgan - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

InfoPrint Solutions Company LLC - Boulder CO

International Classification:

G06K 15/00
G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 114, 358 115

Abstract:

A method for providing computer services is disclosed. The method includes a printer receiving an expected size of print data from a computer system during a printing operation, the printer receiving the print data, determining if the size of the print data is less than the expected size of the print data and aborting the printing operation if the size of the print data is less than the expected size of the print data.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 115, 358 116

Abstract:

A print controller and associated methods of purging a print data path are disclosed. A print controller comprises a job storage system that receives and stores print jobs, and a print data path, which includes components operable to process print jobs, from the job storage system to print engines. The control system receives registrations from the components for flush job messages, flush path messages, or both. The control system receives a request to purge the print data path, and identifies print jobs being processed in the print data path. The control system transmits flush job messages to the components registering for the flush job messages for each print job instructing the components to purge data for the print jobs. The control system also transmits a flush path message to the components registering for the flush path messages instructing the components to purge data for the print jobs being handled.

International Classification:

G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 113, 358 115, 358 116

Abstract:

Methods and systems herein provide for recovering from an out of storage condition at a rip spool for storing raster data. In one embodiment, a print controller receives a command to print multiple copies of a print job. The print controller buffers for rasterization multiple copies of print data for the print job, and determines if a rip spool has storage space available to store a complete rasterized version of the print job. If the rip spool does not have storage space available, then the print controller performs a rasterization process on the multiple copies of the print data for the print job, and provides multiple rasterized copies of the print job to a print engine. If the rip spool has storage space available, then the print controller performs a rasterization process on one copy of the print job and discards additional buffered copies of the print data.

International Classification:

G06K 15/02

US Classification:

358 16

Abstract:

Methods and systems herein provide for identifying multiple types of media that will be used for print a print job by rasterizing raw print data for the print job. In one embodiment, a print controller receives a print job. The print controller identifies multiple types of media that will be utilized for printing the print job by rasterizing raw print data of the print job. The print controller generates a list of printable media that will be utilized for printing the job based on the multiple types of media that are identified. The print controller then provides the list of printable media to a print operator.
