Abstract
A data printer has the ability to print machine-readable information and, further instream, the ability to read and analyze such information. Results of that analysis are reporated back to a job control processor which, according to the analysis, monitors print quality, instructs the print engines to adjust print contrast, causes unacceptable pages to be invalidated, rejected and reprinted, and advises the operator regarding corrective actions to improve print quality or to reconcile print jobs.
