G06F 3/12

US Classification:

358 115, 358 19, 358 328, 23547203

Abstract:

Systems and methods for printer optimization. A method for optimizing a readable dot pattern printed on paper for use with a digital pen is disclosed herein. A test sheet is printed on a selected printer; the first test sheet has a plurality of regions. Each of the regions has a partial digital pattern configured with digitally readable indicia. Each of the indicia has a defined area. An outline is applied to each of the plurality of regions on the test sheet. Ink is applied onto the digital paper using a digital pen within the applied outlines. Data is uploaded from the digital pen to a processor. The smallest indicia readable by the digital pen are determined. A printer control file is updated with the determined smallest indicia.

Abstract:

Systems and methods for determining an object location relative to a digital document are disclosed herein. A marking is applied to at least one cell in at least one row and to at least one cell in at least one column of a digital document. The markings define an axis system for the digital document. Each object has a stored digital address within the digital document. When the digital document is converted into a fixed file format, a location of the object can be determined that will match the location of the object on the printed page. By comparing the digital address of the object to the axis system defined by the markings, after the document has been converted to a fixed document format, the location of the object is defined spatially.
