Methods, systems and computer-readable storage media for scanning a document to detect a source of the document. The document can be scanned to obtain content from the document. An automatic search of an electronic network can be then performed to determine if there is an exact match or a partial match between the content of the document and the results of search automatic search. If an exact match or a partial match is generated as a result of automatically searching the electronic network, a user can be presented with various selection options via a GUI for retrieving, viewing and printing search results of the automatic search.

Methods and systems for automatically detecting the source of the content of a scanned document

A method and system assist a user in selecting a print option for rendering an image. A database includes print options for rendering images on different sizes of print media. At least some of the print options include different levels of scaling of the image. Features of an image to be rendered are identified. Based on the identified features, at least one of the following is performed: filtering the print options and ranking the print options in the database, to identify a subset of candidate print options from the database of print options. A graphical user interface is generated for displaying representations of at least some of the candidate print options. The graphical user interface is displayed to a user on a display device, whereby a user is able to select a print option for rendering the image.

Apparatus and method for visualization of automated paper size and scaling selection

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and apparatus for printing on a paper-like device are disclosed. For example, the method includes configuring a print path to the paper-like device, providing an option to print a document on the paper-like device, receiving a selection of the option to print the document on the paper-like device and sending a print command to the paper-like device via the print path to print the document on the paper-like device.

Printing to a paper-like device

Various methods and devices display a sheet scanning order on a user interface. The sheet scanning order identifies a corresponding panel of a foldable media for each position in the sheet scanning order. The foldable media has multiple panels per side. The foldable media receives printing while unfolded, and the foldable media is folded into a three-dimensional shape after printing. These methods and devices scan sheets in the sheet scanning order to generate scanned images using a scanner. Also, such methods and devices automatically arrange and orient the scanned images to cause a printing engine to print the scanned images on corresponding panels according to the sheet scanning order (using a processor). Such methods and devices print the scanned images on corresponding panels of the foldable media according to the sheet scanning order, using the printing engine.
