    Abstract: A print job intended for subsequent printing operations includes complex and simple pages. Each page is analyzed for a page complexity determination. A base page weight related to engine speed of the print engine is compared against a page weight of the page to determine whether the page is complex. A complex page is one with a page weight equal to or greater than the base page weight. If the page is complex, then it is rendered by the RIP system and stored. If the page is simple, then it is not rendered but will be rendered when the job is printed as it can be rendered at engine speed. A complexity model and complexity rules also are used to enhance the determination process.

    Abstract: Displaying an authentication interface on an operation panel associated with a printing device, the operation panel including a plurality of authentication areas. Receiving a user authentication request. Detecting a particular authentication pattern associated with the user authentication request. Retrieving a registered authentication pattern associated with the user. Comparing the particular authentication pattern with the registered authentication pattern. Determining, based on the comparing, whether the user authentication request is authorized. If the user authentication request is authorized, retrieving a first electronic document associated with the user, and printing the first electronic document. If the user authentication request is not authorized, determining whether the first electronic document includes a confidential object, obtaining, in response to determining the first electronic document includes a confidential object, an alternative object associated with the confidential object, and generating a second electronic document by replacing the confidential object with the alternative object on the first electronic document.

    Abstract: A printing computing device connects to a multi-function printing (MFP) device to enable additional functionality and capabilities not offered by the MFP device. The printing computing device connects to a network to receive print jobs from external devices within the network. The printing computing device processes the print jobs according to rules such that print jobs are processed accordingly. The printing computing device also includes firmware not available on the MFP device such that print jobs not supported by the MFP device still may be processed. The printing computing device also includes an engine that determines whether an incoming print job is a PDL print job or a command to perform a function not available on the MFP device.
