Filed:

Jun 5, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/455124

Inventors:

Eric L. Andersen - Meridian ID
Mark M. Josephsen - Boise ID
Anthony G Laidlaw - Boise ID

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, LP - Houston TX

International Classification:

G01C 1738

US Classification:

702 94

Abstract:

An apparatus and method for calibrating a peripheral device having a scanner and document feeder is provided. A target page is printed having a target at a known location on the page. The target page is then fed into the document feeder for scanning by the scanner. A calibration value is determined by determining the lateral position of the scanned target within the scanner. The calibration value is then used to adjust the lateral position of a scan line window width of the scanner to scan substantially only the entire width of a document page to be scanned.

US Classification:

710 8, 710 5, 710 14, 710 62, 710 67, 345156, 712405

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automatically selecting digital sending functionality are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving input of a character, determining the nature of the character, determining whether a digital sending trigger has been satisfied, and where a digital sending trigger has been satisfied, automatically selecting a digital sending functionality based upon the type of the trigger. In a preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a multi-function peripheral device capable of photocopying, e-mailing, and faxing documents. The device comprises a device operation module adapted to: evaluate characters received via the control panel, determine whether the user desires to photocopy, e-mail, or fax based upon the received characters, and automatically enable and initiate the desired functionality.

International Classification:

G06F 15/00
B41J 9/44

US Classification:

358 113, 400 61

Abstract:

Hard imaging systems, articles of manufacture, and hard imaging methods are described. According to one aspect, a hard imaging system includes an image engine configured to form a hard image upon media, processing circuitry configured to access image data corresponding to the hard image, to process the image data to provide raster data, to output the raster data to the image engine, and to encapsulate the raster data, wherein the image engine is configured to form the hard image responsive to the raster data during a first imaging operation, and wherein the encapsulated raster data comprises data which may be utilized to generate the hard image formed by the image engine during a second imaging operation different than the first imaging operation.

US Classification:

345/810000, 345/835000

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for communicating information to a device user. The method comprises the steps of presenting a textual indication to the user regarding a high level aspect of a device functionality, receiving an input from the user regarding the device functionality, and presenting a graphical indication to the user regarding a low level aspect of the device functionality. In a preferred embodiment, the device functionality pertains to the display and adjustment of device settings.

US Classification:

345/841000, 345/854000

Abstract:

The present invention provides a system and method for disguising the depth of tree menus via popup options. In architecture, the system includes a display device that displays a top menu, and an input device to enable a user to select an option. A graphical user interface displays a second level menu on the display device in response to the option selection, and leaves a portion of the top menu visible to the user. The present invention can also be viewed as a method for disguising the depth of tree menus. The method operates by displaying a top menu on a display device and enabling a user to select an option. A second level menu is then displayed in response to the option selection, wherein the second level menu leaves a portion of the top menu visible to the user.

International Classification:

US Classification:

358/001140, 382/112000

Abstract:

The system and methods described herein relate to printing photocopy-protected documents. Rather than requiring pre-prepared, copy-protected media for printing a copy-protected document, a copy-protection template includes background and foreground patterns that create substantially hidden copy-protection symbols on an originally printed document. A photocopy of the original document reveals the copy-protection symbols that were not noticeable in the original document. Thus, print jobs are copy-protected when they are printed on a page along with the copy-protection template.
