    摘要: An image printing apparatus includes an image printing unit which prints an image and has a cluster printing function in which a print job is shared with at least one other printing apparatus over a network. A registration unit registers in the memory unit paper type information of a recording sheet to be used in the print job. A communication unit receives over the network paper type information of recording sheets in each of the plurality of other image printing apparatuses. A determination unit selects at least one candidate image printing apparatus from among the plurality of other image printing apparatus based whether the paper type information received by the communication unit matches the paper type information registered in the memory unit. The image printing apparatus, during cluster printing, shares the print job with the at least one candidate image printing apparatus.

    摘要: A toner saving printing method and related computer program product is described. The program analyzes an input file to extract data that represents background, and if the background is a solid dark color, changes the background to a colorless a lighter color background. The colors of the foreground objects such as text and graphics are changed correspondingly to maintain adequate contrast between the foreground objects and the background. The method can be implemented as a part of a printer driver.

    摘要: A method implemented in a printer controller for printing oversized image data is described. During printing, a process is executed to determine whether the data to be printed have a page data size that exceeds the maximum printable area for the specified recording medium. The page data size of a given page is the total extent (width and height) of the data objects on the page. If the page data size exceeds the maximum printable area, the process determines whether the portions of the image that exceeds the maximum printable area are background data. If they are, a portion of the background data that exceeds the maximum printable area are cut off, and the document is printed without reducing the size of the non-background data. The method can also be implemented on a print driver.

    摘要: To solve the problem of incorrect jam recovery, a printer is equipped with one or more sensors to detect the number of sheets outputted to the output tray(s) of the printer. The number of sheets outputted to the tray(s) for a print job is counted, and compared to the number of pages to be printed in the print job. If the numbers do not match, the printer notifies the user of the mismatch. The user may then inspect the printed sheets to determine whether some pages are missing or extra pages have been printed, and take appropriate corrective actions.
