An authentication tag and a method for producing the same are disclosed. For example, the authentication tag includes a substrate, a correlation mark printed on a first part of the substrate, a key printed on the second part of the substrate, wherein a portion of the substrate is transparent, and at least one raised feature is printed on the substrate.

Authentication tag

This disclosure provides a document management method and system to monitor activity associated with a processed document according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the document management system is configured to apply security controls to a document and provide a full organizational audit history of documents processed.

System and method of processing documents to provide document history and compliance control

A system and method to recognize the utilization of an unsupported workflow process to process the document to be rendered; write, when it is recognized that an unsupported workflow process is to be utilized in processing the document, security information, from a document security tag associated with the document, in a supported area in the document, to create a modified document, the modified document having security information, from the document security tag, written therein; process, using the unsupported workflow process, the modified document; and render, by the printing system, the modified document in accordance the security, governance, or tracking measures documented in the document security tag associated with the document.

System and method for supporting secure document tags for use in traditionally unsupported workflows

Accordingly, an improved system and method is provided with which an automatic analysis of the fuser oil is performed to prevent accidental oil and toner mismatches by the insertion of a photovoltaic sensor and associated logic inline along the tube that delivers the fuser oil to the fuser.

A method for processing a print job includes: a) processing printer description language (PDL) image data for a select page of a print job to form raster image data for the select page, processing of the PDL image data and storing the raster image data in a RIP orientation; b) processing the raster image data for the select page to form bitmap image data for the select page, transforming the raster image data from the RIP orientation to a print orientation and storing the bitmap image data in the print orientation; and c) printing the bitmap image data arranged in the print orientation on a target substrate page to form a printed substrate page for the select page of the print job. A printing platform associated with the method includes a storage device, a RIP module, a rotator module, and a print engine.

Image rotation to optimize rip and print performance time

An embodiment generally relates to systems and methods for determining a conversion location based on the content of a document and an intended quality level of the document. More particularly, processing logic can be configured to analyze a document submitted for rendering to determine a content level of the document. Further the processing logic can compare the content level to an intended quality level specified by a user of the document to determine whether to convert the document on local resources or in a cloud-based network. An associated conversion application in the appropriate location can convert the document into a printable format, and a print engine can render the converted document.

A method and system for automatically holding and authenticating a configuration change payload job. An upgrade payload file can be transmitted to a rendering device as a rendering job via a print submission protocol. The upgrade payload file can be detected by a configuration change detection and hold module configured in association with the rendering device upon receiving the rendering job. The rendering job can be automatically held at the rendering device until an authenticated user releases the rendering job. The held rendering job can be also automatically deleted after a predetermined time period. The configuration change detection and hold module can be enabled and/or disabled by the authenticated user in order to prevent an unauthorized and accidental system upgrade and configuration change.

A method for processing a print job includes: a) analyzing printer description language (PDL) image data for a print job; b) determining a raster image processor (RIP) orientation for the print job based at least in part on the analysis of the PDL image data, the RIP orientation being selected from a landscape orientation and a portrait orientation; and c) processing the PDL image data for each page of the print job to form raster image data for each page in the RIP orientation and storing the raster image data in the RIP orientation. A printing platform associated with the method includes a parser module, a controller module, a storage device, and a RIP module.
