PRINTING WITH MEDIA ROLL CHANGES AND NONPRODUCTION FRAMES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18596853 titled 'PRINTING WITH MEDIA ROLL CHANGES AND NONPRODUCTION FRAMES
The abstract describes a patent application where first and second print jobs are received at a printer, each including production frames. The print jobs are printed with a media roll change occurring during printing. Additionally, nonproduction frames with coded information regarding the print jobs are printed for reading by a scanner at a finishing device. A printer calibration diagnostic frame is also printed, and a calibration operation is performed at the printer utilizing data captured from the diagnostic.
- First and second print jobs received at a printer with production frames
- Media roll change occurs during printing of the print jobs
- Nonproduction frames with coded information regarding the print jobs are printed
- Printer calibration diagnostic frame is printed
- Calibration operation is performed at the printer using data from the diagnostic
Potential Applications: - Printing industry for improved efficiency and accuracy - Finishing devices for enhanced automation and workflow management
Problems Solved: - Streamlining printing processes with automated calibration - Ensuring accurate finishing of print jobs with coded information
Benefits: - Increased efficiency in printing operations - Enhanced accuracy in finishing processes - Improved workflow management
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Printing Efficiency and Accuracy for Commercial Printers" This technology can be utilized in commercial printing companies to streamline operations, improve accuracy, and enhance overall workflow management. It can lead to cost savings and increased productivity in the printing industry.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the coded information in the nonproduction frames improve the finishing process? - The coded information helps the finishing device identify and process each print job accurately. 2. What are the potential cost savings for commercial printers using this technology? - By improving efficiency and accuracy, commercial printers can reduce waste and increase productivity, leading to cost savings.
Original Abstract Submitted
In an example of the disclosure, first and second print jobs are received at a printer. The first and second print jobs each include production frames. The first and second print jobs are printed with a media roll change occurring during printing. A first finishing device information nonproduction (“FDIN”) frame and a second FDIN frame are printed. The first and second FDIN frames include coded information regarding the first print job and the second print job, respectively. The coded information is for reading by a scanner at a finishing device. A press calibration nonproduction (“PCN”) frame that includes a printer calibration diagnostic is printed. A scanner at the printer is caused to capture the printer calibration diagnostic. A calibration operation is performed at the printer utilizing data or attributes captured from the printer calibration diagnostic.
