IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18314293 titled 'IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE, IMAGE FORMING DEVICE, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an image processing device that can detect blank regions on a recording medium where an image is not formed and generate print image data with an image quality adjustment patch in those blank regions.

  • The device has a hardware processor that can detect areas on a recording medium where no image is formed based on print data of a print job.
  • It generates print image data by adding an image quality adjustment patch in the detected blank regions.
  • The image quality adjustment patch helps improve the overall image quality of the printed output.
  • This technology can be used in various printing applications to ensure that no blank regions are left on the printed medium.
  • The device can be integrated into existing printing systems or used as a standalone image processing device.


Original Abstract Submitted

An image processing device includes: a hardware processor that detects a blank region in a recording medium where an image is not formed based on print data of a print job, and that generates print image data in which an image quality adjustment patch is disposed in the detected blank region of the print data.
