摘要： Disclosed are embodiments of document scanner, a method and a program storage device wherein the scan mode is automatically adjusted to fall within standards established to prevent vision damage and/or discomfort and to still allow for high-resolution scanning. Specifically, the platen cover of the document scanner can be operatively connected to the scan carriage such that the mode at which the scan carriage operates depends upon the detected position of the platen cover. When the platen cover is closed, the scan carriage can automatically illuminate the document being scanned at a relatively high light intensity level and can move at a relatively fast speed. When the platen cover is opened, the scan carriage can automatically illuminate the document being scanned at a lower light intensity level and, optionally, can move at a slower speed to compensate for the lower light intensity level.

摘要： A compensating technique, implemented as an image processing block inserted in a chain of sequential image processing blocks, is used to achieve custom tuning at an end-user site to provide a customer a desired image quality (IQ) different from the factory calibrated one, or to simply compensate for drift in the image quality due to a number of factors including environmental conditions and/or system aging. The compensating techniques use a higher order polynomial to correct an actual input/output parameter relationship such that it is acceptably close to a pre-determined input/output parameter relationship for a given measurable parameter related IQ.

摘要： Systems and methods are described that facilitate calibrating a print engine using calibration data sets generated at at least two different L* levels to provide additional calibration measurement resolution toward the darker end of the grayscale spectrum. For instance a first, light grey (e.g., 70-90L*) calibration strip is scanned at a first resolution (e.g., 70-90L*) to generate a first calibration data set, and a second darker grey (e.g., 30-50L*) calibration strip is scanned at high resolution (e.g., 100L*) to generate a second calibration data set. The first calibration data set is used to calibrate the print engine for high L* values (e.g., 50-100) and the second calibration data set is used to calibrate the print engine for low L* values (e.g., 0-50). Alternatively, a single calibration strip having a known L* value can be scanned once at the known L* value and again at a higher L* value (e.g., 100L*) to generate two calibration data sets, which are used to improve calibration resolution in the darker part of the spectrum.
摘要翻译：描述了使用在至少两个不同L *电平上产生的校准数据集来校准打印引擎的系统和方法，以向灰度级光谱的较暗端提供额外的校准测量分辨率。例如，首先，以第一分辨率（例如，70-90L *）扫描浅灰色（例如，70-90L *）校准条以产生第一校准数据集，并且产生第二较暗灰色（例如，30-50L *）校准条以高分辨率扫描（例如，100L *）以产生第二校准数据集。第一校准数据集用于校准打印引擎以获得高L *值（例如，50-100），并且第二校准数据组用于校准低L *值（例如，0-50）的打印引擎。或者，具有已知L *值的单个校准条可以以已知的L *值再次以更高的L *值（例如，100L *）扫描一次以产生两个校准数据集，其用于提高校准分辨率在光谱的较暗部分。

摘要： An image forming apparatus is adapted to distinguish a presence between a full and a partially-full toner cassette. The image forming apparatus includes a load cell positioned in a developer station. The load cell is adapted to sense a mass of a toner cassette at least during an insertion of the toner cassette into the apparatus. A processor is adapted to determine a toner volume contained in the toner cassette based on a mass differential. A controller is adapted to drive or suspend a motor in the developer station to control an operation of the image forming apparatus. The controller controls the operation based on the toner volume.

摘要： An image forming apparatus comprises a controller that stores instructions, which cause the image forming apparatus to determine a characteristic measurement in response to a toner cartridge being partially inserted into the image forming apparatus. A pair of spaced apart sensors included on the image forming apparatus each contact an outer cross-sectional surface of a film on a delivery aperture of the toner cartridge. The image forming apparatus further includes an auger having at least one sensor for conducting a characteristic measurement on the film. The characteristic measurement corresponds to criteria programmed in the image forming apparatus for determining if the toner cartridge has a full toner level or a partially full (or low) toner level.

摘要： Systems and methods are described that facilitate removing punch hole artifacts in electronic document images. When a document with punch holes is scanned, the punch holes appear as unwanted dark spots in the margin. To remove these artifacts, a blanking regions having background color pixels are placed over the punch hole artifacts and the electronic document image is stored with the blanking regions in place. A user interface is provided to permit a user to enter blanking region parameters, including x,y coordinates, diameter, reference edge from which the coordinates are measured, etc. Default settings can be stored and recalled for common punch hole patterns, which may vary between offices and the like.

摘要： An fiber optic imaging device utilizing fiber optics for imaging portions of documents of varying shapes and/or sizes. For example, for imaging a book or any document having a centerfold, where the document will not lay flat (non-planar) against the platen of the image forming device. The device may be shaped to fit in the centerfold of an open document between the platen of the copying device and the document. Additionally, the fiber optic imaging device may also allow for performing a geometric translation based upon a portion of the document, for facilitating document reproduction.
