20120127513 | PROCESSING REUSABLE AND SPECIFIC CONTENT - A method for processing a variable data processing (VDP) print job for digital printing including the steps of providing a VDP print job to a computer wherein the print job is described by a page description language (PDL); splitting the print job into plurality of PDL chunks wherein each of the chunks may include at least one reusable element and/or at least one specific content element or both; assigning each of the chunks to different processing elements of a plurality of processing elements; and splitting the processing of the PDL chunks in each processing elements into a first phase and second phase, wherein the first phase processes the reusable elements in the print job in coordination with the other processing elements; and wherein the second phase processes the specific content of the PDL chunk assigned to each of the processing elements and the reusable elements processed during the first phase. | 05-24-2012 |
20120127514 | PROCESSING REUSABLE AND SPECIFIC CONTENT - An apparatus adapted to process VDP print job for digital printing includes a plurality of processing elements wherein each of the processing elements is adapted to receive a chunk of the VDP print job for processing. A coordination element is adapted to coordinate between the processing elements to first process all reusable elements in the VDP print job during a first stage before starting processing of specific content in the assigned chunk during a second stage. A cache storage element is adapted to store the processed reusable elements during the first stage. | 05-24-2012 |
20130063765 | PAGE COMPLEXITY ANALYZER - A printing system having a print engine, the printing system includes a print engine capable of printing an image on a media; an input buffer adapted to store processed elements of pages for pages to be printed; an assembly means adapted to assemble ready to print pages from the elements of pages; an estimator adapted to estimate complexity of pages assembly according to the elements of pages in the estimated page; a transmission interface for transmitting the ready to print pages to the print engine and to transfer an image to the media; and a speed control element for controlling a speed of the print engine wherein the speed is set according to the estimated complexity of pages assembly. | 03-14-2013 |
20130063766 | PAGE COMPLEXITY ANALYZER - A method for estimating complexity of pages and controlling printing speed of a printing machine wherein the speed is set according to the estimated complexity of pages, the method includes the steps of processing pages elements; storing the processed pages elements in an input memory; estimating complexity of pages assembly according to the processed elements of pages in the estimated pages; assembling the pages from the elements of pages comprised in the estimated pages to produce ready to print pages; transmitting the ready to print pages to a print engine for printing; and setting the print engine speed wherein the speed is selected according to the estimated complexity of pages assembly. | 03-14-2013 |
