A system and method for trapping in electrophotographic color printing and related technologies for printing or display in which the final image is an overlay of multiple components subject to alignment errors. Trapping is based on the cyan (C), magenta (M), and black (K) planes. There are four steps as follows: detect object edges on each of the four color planes; detect coincident and opposing edge transitions on each pair of planes (CM, CK, and KM); determine which plane to trap, i.e., to extend object across edge; and generate trap on that plane using a simple trap generation rule and a single trap generation rule.

System and method for reducing visibility of registration errors in an image to be printed using a digital color printer by convolution with a laplacian kernel

A system for enabling client software applications to interface with peripheral devices over a network. An application connection layer interfaces with a programming language of a client software application. A simple object access protocol (SOAP) client processor communicates with the application connection layer and a client software application using the application connection layer. The SOAP client processor includes an eXtensible mark-up language (XML) processor for converting data provided in XML format to a form usable by the client software application. A transport layer for interfaces with the SOAP processor and peripheral devices connected to the network.

Open architecture and interfaces for workflow applications in office document systems

A method and apparatus for generating pixelmap images for output to a raster device. The method and apparatus support scheduling and rendering bands, pages or planes from a job using multiple graphics processors and an array of buffers from an intermediate graphic order storage medium. The graphics orders are generated by a graphics order generator subsystem.
