Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to aspects of the embodiments, there is provided methods of decomposing and modifying a bitmap image before it is rendered by an output device. Segments of a print image are determined by an aptly programmed processor. In a bitmap driver process, dimensions and location of an area on each print image is processed so as to form objects that can be deleted, modified, or replaced. The process allows for the addition of objects such as tracking or security and the processing of objects to interpret the data found, remove it, and possibly replace it with data based on what was read. These modified objects are embedded in the output bitmap image without increasing its size by reusing dimensions and location of selected areas of the print image.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method to manage at least one RIPped image having control and/or identification information during job workflow before printing comprising: receiving at least one RIPped image that can be reproduced by a printing engine, wherein the at least one RIPped image comprises an image and data indicating at least one of location, shape, and orientation of objects or components; displaying a print server interface with individual panes showing active, paused, and…
