Method for a printing system for processing a print job comprising the print data and the plurality of print job settings. Automatically an area of the recording medium is established that is deemed to be removed or made invisible during the at least one finishing action by a finisher. A digital object is retrieved from memory of the printer which is used for checking and monitoring at least one characterization of the desired end product. The print data are printed and also the digital object is printed at the automatically established area.

Method for processing a print job by a printer with less waste based on determining waste areas on the sheets

A method for processing a print job on a document processing system including a plurality of devices which includes at least one printer and at least one finisher in order to deliver an end print product according to print specifications of the print job. Each device is described in a dedicated device model including constraints and capabilities of the device. The method includes receiving a print job with print specifications, generating a production route for the end product by selecting at least one printer and at least one finisher to deliver the end product, simulating the production route for the end product by executing the device models for the selected devices, generating finishing instructions for the at least one finisher, and processing the print job by printing the end product by the at least one printer and by finishing the end product by the at least one finisher according to the generated finishing instructions.

Document processing system for processing a printjob including a production route simulation

A document processing system includes a print controller and a user interface for displaying production routes for a print job leading to an end product due to printing by at least one printer and finishing by at least one finisher. The user interface is configured to receive a user selection of a document type of the print job and at least one selection criterion for the print job. The print controller is configured to determine production routes based on simulation of the print job by device models for the at least one printer and the at least one finisher, and to select from the determined production routes a production route with smart settings which corresponds to the document type and fulfills the selection criterion.

Document processing system having a print controller for processing a print job

Method and printing system for processing a print job according to print job specifications. A realistic preview image of a plurality of pages of the print product is established and displayed taking into account the print job specifications and print job content. Parts of underlying sheets which parts become visible in the realistic preview image are determined and their content and physical properties are determined and incorporated into the realistic preview image.

Method for establishing a realistic preview of sheets of a print job

A media processing system is arranged to process image receiving media under predetermined physical conditions. The system includes a scheduler arranged to schedule jobs to be processed in the system and to calculate predicted timings (T0) at which media will have to be ready for processing and to indicate the predicted timings on a user interface. The system further includes a buffer in which a supply of media that has been received from a first environment is kept in a specified second environment before being processed. The scheduler is configured to calculate an acclimatization time required for the media to acquire the predetermined physical conditions by being kept in the second environment in the buffer, and to calculate and indicate a predicted timing (T1) at which the media should be present in the sheet buffer at the latest in view of the calculated acclimatization time.

Media processing system with scheduler

The scanning and processing of a multi-page document is described wherein scan images are generated by optically scanning a sequence of pages of a multi-page document such as a book, processing the scan images to generate page images corresponding to original pages of the multi-page document, e.g., by deskewing and removing black border areas, and after generating a proposed page image, it is checked to determine if there is a chance that the image contains errors, by detecting if its image parameters, such as the text area coordinates (X, X, X, X, Y, Y) are according to target criteria which are based on a statistical analysis of the document. If the page image satisfies the target criteria, the page image is automatically accepted, and if it does not, the page image is displayed to an operator to accept or to adjust the page image.
