Abstract
A method for classifying media to be printed comprising: receiving, at a printing device, print data representing the media to be printed; generating an image of the media based on the print data; classifying the image to obtain a media stock type associated with the media; printing the media according to the print data; and updating a stock of the media stock type.

A system comprising:
- a printer;
- a server in communication with the printer, the server being configured to:
- receive print data representing the printable image to be printed by the printer;
- generate an image of the printable image based on the print data;
- classify the image to obtain a format associated with the printable image;
- communicate with the printer to print the printable image according to the print data;
- and
- wherein, to classify the image, the server is configured to:
- input the image into an image classifier to obtain an image classification;
- input the image into a keyword detector to obtain a keyword classification;
- and
- reconcile the image classification and the keyword classification to obtain the format associated with the printable image.

- generate an image of the printable image based on the print data;
- classify the image to obtain a format associated with the printable image;
- communicate with the printer to print the printable image according to the print data;
- and
- wherein, to classify the image, the processor is configured to:
- input the image into an image classifier to obtain an image classification;
- when a confidence level associated with the image classification exceeds a threshold confidence level, use the image classification as the format associated with the printable image;
- and
- when the confidence level associated with the image classification does not exceed the threshold confidence level, input the image into a keyword detector to obtain the format associated with the printable image.
