Abstract
An image forming method comprises stretching a pixel row to a height greater than that of the pixel row to generate a barcode image. The barcode image is formed on a face of a media page at an edge such that the imaging material forming the barcode image forms the pixel row on the edge of the media sheet.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- segmenting, by a system comprising a processor, a digital image into a plurality of pixel rows, each pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows including plural pixels;
- prior to printing the digital image, generating, by the system, a first barcode image by stretching a first pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows from a first height to a second height greater than the first height;
- and
- after the generating, causing, by the system, printing of the digital image, the printing comprising depositing imaging material forming the generated first barcode image on a face of a media page at an edge such that the imaging material forming the generated first barcode image forms the first pixel row on the edge of the media page.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that when executed cause a system to:
- segment a digital image into a plurality of pixel rows, each pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows including plural pixels;
- prior to printing the digital image, generate a first barcode image by stretching a first pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows from a first height to a second height greater than the first height;
- and
- after the generating, cause printing of the digital image, the printing comprising depositing imaging material forming the generated first barcode image on a face of a media page at an edge such that the imaging material forming the generated first barcode image forms the first pixel row on the edge of the media page.
1 more element
An image forming system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory storage medium storing instructions executable on the processor to:
- segment a digital image into a plurality of pixel rows, each pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows including plural pixels;
- prior to printing the digital image, generate a first barcode image by stretching a first pixel row of the plurality of pixel rows from a first height to a second height greater than the first height;
- and
- after the generating, cause printing of the digital image, the printing comprising depositing imaging material forming the generated first barcode image on a face of a media page at an edge such that the imaging material forming the generated first barcode image forms the first pixel row on the edge of the media page.
