Method and apparatus to automatically adjust finish options for print jobs

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions, which when executed by a processor of a multi-function device (MFD), causes the processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving a scanned image of a print job with a finish option applied to the print job, wherein the finish option comprises a fold or a staple;
• determining that the finish option requires an adjustment based on an analysis of the scanned image, wherein the adjustment comprises a skew adjustment and a x-y coordinate adjustment relative to a desired position of the fold or the staple;
• determining an amount of adjustment to the finish option to apply to subsequent copies of the print job;
• and
• performing an adjustment to the MFD to apply the amount of adjustment to the finish option for subsequent copies of the print job.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, by a processor a multi-function device (MFD), a scanned image of a print job with finishing options applied to the print job, wherein the finishing options comprise a bi-fold and a staple in the bi-fold;
• determining, by the processor, that the staple is misaligned with a location of the bi-fold and skewed;
• determining, by the processor, a difference between x-y coordinates of the staple and the x-y coordinates of the location of the bi-fold;
• and
• performing, by the processor, an adjustment to the MFD based upon the difference between the x-y coordinates of the staple and the x-y coordinates of the location of the bi-fold such that the staple is located on the location of the bi-fold for subsequent copies of the print job and the x-y coordinates of the staple to a desired position of the staple to adjust a skew of the staple.
