Abstract
A method for forming perforations in a sheet of media with a perforation system includes the steps of generating graphics data; defining a non-printed color to represent perforation locations; embedding the non-printed color in the graphics data for a current perforation job; providing an identifier for identifying the non-printed color in the graphics data; read the graphics data including the non-printed color; using the identifier, identifying a plurality of perforation locations based on the non-printed color; and performing perforation of the sheet of media in accordance with the identifying step.
Claims22
A method for forming perforations in a sheet of media with a perforation system, comprising the steps of:
- scanning an image formed on a medium to generate graphics data;
- identifying to said perforation system a plurality of perforation locations associated with said graphics data for a current perforation job;
- adjusting parameters of a perforation apparatus in accordance with said current perforation job;
- and
- performing perforation of said sheet of media in accordance with said identifying and adjusting steps.
A perforation system for forming perforations in a sheet of media, comprising:
- a scanner for scanning an image formed on a medium to generate graphics data;
- a computer communicatively coupled to said scanner, said computer configured to identify a plurality of perforation locations associated with said graphics data for a current perforation job;
- and
- an apparatus communicatively coupled to said computer, said apparatus including a perforation mechanism, said apparatus being configured for performing the steps of:
- adjusting perforation parameters in accordance with said current perforation job;
- and
- perforating said sheet of media in accordance with said adjusting step.
