US 10,503,447 B2 · Print fluid selection

Abstract

Example implementations relate to print fluid selection. For example, a system for print fluid detection may include a cloud-based printing platform coupled to a plurality of printing devices. A print fluid selection module may be implemented in the cloud-based printing platform. The print fluid selection module may determine a type of document to be printed by a printing device among the plurality of printing devices, and select a print fluid setting among a plurality of print fluid settings for printing the document, based on the determined document type. The printing fluid selection may be enabled only for printing devices that include authentic components, as verified by a printing supply verification module.

Dependent claims

A system for print fluid selection, comprising:

a cloud-based printing platform coupled to a plurality of printing devices;
and
a print, fluid selection processor module implemented in the cloud-based printing platform, the print fluid selection processor module to:
determine a type of a document to be printed by a printing device among the plurality of printing devices;
and
select a print fluid setting among a plurality of print fluid settings for printing the document, based on the determined document type, wherein the selected print fluid setting defines a change to the document based on the determined type and wherein the change comprises at least one of the following:
replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font type, replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font size, replacing bold text in the document with a pre-defined text format, and replacing solid lines in the document with a pre-defined line format.

4 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

receive a request to print a document using a printing device in a cloud-based printing platform;
assign a content type for the document based on an amount of text and an amount of images in the document;
select a print fluid setting among a plurality of print fluid settings for printing the document on the printing device, based on the content type, wherein the selected print fluid setting defines a change to the document based on the determined type and wherein the change comprises at least one of the following:
replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font type, replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font size, replacing bold text in the document with a pre-defined text format, and replacing solid lines in the document with a pre-defined line format;
and
print the document using the printing device and the selected print fluid setting.

3 more elements

A method for print selection comprising:

confirming a printing device coupled to a cloud-based printing platform includes authentic components, as specified by a manufacturer of the printing device;
enabling a print fluid selection processor module in response to confirming that the printing device includes authentic components;
using the print fluid selection processor module, determining a content type for a document based on an amount of text and an amount of images in the document;
selecting one of a low print fluid setting, a medium print fluid setting, and a high print fluid setting for printing the document on the printing device based on the determined content type, wherein the selected print fluid setting defines a change to the document based on the determined type and wherein the change comprises at least one of the following:
replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font type, replacing text in the document with a pre-defined font size, replacing bold text in the document with a pre-defined text format, and replacing solid lines in the document with a pre-defined line format;
and
printing the document using the printing device, by modifying content in the document according to the selected print fluid setting.
