An apparatus () for processing documents each represented by a document description () encoded in a page description language supportive of reusable data includes a page description language interpreter () that receives the document description () and parses the document description () into document components. An imager (), communicating with the interpreter (), creates image representations of received document components. A reusable document component repository () stores image representations derived from a plurality of processed documents. The reusable document component repository () communicates with the interpreter () and the imager () to supply those ones of the image representations corresponding to selected document components of the processed documents and to receive selected image representations created by the imager () during the processing of documents.

Apparatus and method for managing and using reusable document components during the process of dynamic document construction

A method for applying individualized rendering parameters a single page basis to enable rendering of image data associated with a job having a plurality of pages includes: assigning a first set of color processing options to a first group of pages in the job; assigning a second set of color processing options to a second group of pages in the job, the second set of color processing options identifying a color space transformation profile; receiving a page of image data to be rendered; selecting a color space transformation profile for the received page of image data based on the second set of color processing options; and applying the selected color space transformation profile to render the page of image data.

Color management system

A method for applying a selected color space transformation profile when rendering image data includes providing a plurality of color space transformation profiles; receiving a media attribute, the media attribute identifying a desired characteristic of a media to be used in rendering the image data; selecting a color space transformation profile based on the received media attribute; and applying the selected color space transformation profile to render the image data.

A color manager high level navigation system comprising a graphical user interface, a color manager selection icon at the highest navigation level of the graphical user interface and a color manager further comprising a view menu, a characterization tool icon for activating a profile characterization tool and a profile list window. The view menu includes a filter selection that causes all available profiles to be displayed, a filter selection that causes only destination profiles to be displayed, a filter selection that causes only source profiles to be displayed, a filter selection that causes only device gray source profiles to be displayed, a filter selection that causes only device RGB source profiles to be displayed, a filter selection that causes only device CMY source profiles to be displayed and a filter selection that causes only device CMYK source profiles to be displayed. The profile list window includes a list of available profiles matching a filter criteria selected from the view menu, a message box for displaying confirmation of recent actions and a profile to media button for activating a profile to media assignment dialog. The profile list window further comprises a column displaying an icon for each profile that is characterized as a system profile that cannot be deleted or modified, a column displaying a symbolic name of each profile, a column displaying a type for each profile including, a column displaying a color space type for each profile, a column displaying a description of each profile and a text display box displaying a current default output profile symbolic name.

Color profile management and color collection management, navigation and visual design

Provided is a device that allows a DFE decomposer supported for a particular format, such as ICC profile formats, to utilize multiple transformation databases concurrently. For each database, a software plug-in is created to interpret the specific format of particular databases. The plug-ins convert the contents of the third party database into a common structure understood by a decomposer of a digital front end (DFE). The plug-in interface includes data (i.e. structures) and behavior (i.e. methods) supported by all plug-ins. A plug-in for a supported database (i.e. ICC profile formats) is also provided. An interface between a color control manager and decomposer module is used to inform the decomposer of changes to the supported database. An appropriate plug-in may then retrieve data and update an internal database of the decomposer while the system is operating. Updatings of third party databases occur upon initialization of the system.

Concurrent utilization of multiple color profile databases for image rending

The present invention is a method and apparatus for utilizing the characteristics of a pallet, or tray, used to supply workpieces to an automated, flexible assembly station or workcell. Once the characteristics are described and stored in memory, they may be used to uniquely identify workpieces which are determined to be defective during the automatic assembly operations. The defect information may then be stored in a cell controller which controls one or more workcells for later recall, in order to determine what, if any, further processing should be conducted on the defective workpieces and to prevent further processing thereof.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for defining the critical characteristics of a pallet, or tray, used to supply workpieces to an automated, flexible assembly station or workcell. Once the characteristics are described and stored in memory, they may be used to uniquely identify workpieces which are determined to be defective during the automatic assembly operations.
