The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing intelligent sectioning and selective document reflow for section-based printing. For example, the disclosed systems can intelligently identify document objects (e.g., document structures and sections) within a digital document by utilizing a machine-learning model. In so doing, the disclosed systems can identify document-object types and document-object locations for the document objects in the digital document. In turn, the disclosed systems can provide, for display within a dynamic printing interface, selectable document sections comprising the identified document objects. In response to a user selection of one or more of the selectable document sections, the disclosed system can generate a modified digital document for printing by reflowing the identified document objects in accordance with the user selection. In some cases, reflowing comprises removing unselected document objects and/or repositioning one or more of the selected document objects.

An object is to provide a copy function that guarantees intensity of embedded information. At the time of copying a printed material, embedded information is extracted from a scanned image obtained by scanning the target printed material. Then, in a case where it is confirmed that the copy-target printed material is an authentic document by the extracted embedded information, the embedded information extracted from the scanned image is reconfigured and printed and output.

A method for reducing image burn-in artifacts in an electrophotographic printing system, includes receiving a print job including image data for a set of pages to be printed. The pages are analyzed to determine that the image data for a sequence of pages in the print job are similar. The similar pages are printed using a pattern of lateral translations wherein the image data is laterally translated such that it is printed at a different lateral position on the printed page. The similar pages can also be printed using a pattern of page orientations including a first page orientation and a second page orientation, wherein the image data for the second page orientation is rotated 180 degrees relative to the image data for the first page orientation.

The present disclosure helps prevent scan image data obtained by bulk reading of a plurality of documents from being divided at a position unintended by a user. An apparatus according to the present disclosure can display, on a screen, a list of a plurality of page images obtained by reading a plurality of documents in bulk, display, on the screen where the list of the plurality of page images is displayed, one or more page images similar to a page image specified by a user as one or more sectioning position candidates in a manner discriminable from other page images of the plurality of page images, and correct the one or more sectioning position candidates based on a correction instruction from the user.

An image scanner includes a conveyance path and a conveyor that conveys a medium through the conveyance path. The medium bears a detection mark that is spaced from a leading edge of the medium in a medium conveyance direction. A background member is disposed opposite the conveyance path. A luminance sensor is disposed opposite the background member via the conveyance path. The luminance sensor detects a luminance value of each of the background member and the medium. A controller controls the luminance sensor to detect the luminance value at a plurality of times while the conveyor conveys the medium so as to obtain a plurality of detected luminance values. The controller determines a ground color luminance value of a ground color area on the medium based on a determination range including a first peak luminance value among the plurality of detected luminance values.

A material data collection system allows capturing of material data. For example, the material data collection system may include digital image data for materials. The material data collection system may ensure that captured digital image data is properly aligned, so that material data may be easily recalled for later use, while maintaining the proper alignment for the captured digital image. The material data collection system may include using a capture guide, to provide cues on how to orient a mobile device used with the material data collection system.

An image forming system includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry generates print image data to for printing a first image included in print job data, on a conveyance medium. The processing circuitry controls printing on the conveyance medium based on the print image data. The processing circuitry sets an area for printing a second image including identification information to identify each page of the conveyance medium, in a first area where the first image is not printed, to generate the print image data.

An image of a check may be presented for payment in a banking system in place of the physical paper check. The check to be deposited can be collected from a depositor using a scanner. A web site, accessed through a depositor's web browser, can be used to drive the process of collecting the check, but in some contexts (e.g., in less popular computing environments, such as those that do not run the most popular operating systems), it is economically infeasible to obtain the certificates that would be used to allow a program executing in the web browser to control the scanner. Thus, a depositor can be instructed to capture and upload images of the check in the form of files, where the image files are then presented for payment through a banking system.
