Abstract
Methods and systems herein provide for printing a plurality of variations of a test image utilizing different values of a print quality parameter for print quality analysis of a printer. A print quality parameter is selected that modifies a print quality of the printer when printing a test image. A range of values for the print quality parameter is defined to utilize when printing the test image. A plurality of variations of the test image are printed based on the range of values defined for the print quality parameter, which allows for an analysis of the print quality of the printer by the user.
Claims15
A printer comprising:
- a user interface operable to receive input from a user selecting a print quality parameter that modifies a print quality of the printer when printing a test image, to receive input from the user defining a range of values for the print quality parameter to utilize when printing the test image, and to receive input from the user defining a number of samples of the test image to print;
- and
- a print module operable to print the number of samples of the test image, wherein each of the number of samples of the test image is printed utilizing a different value in the range defined for the print quality parameter to allow for an analysis of the print quality of the printer by the user.
A method operable on a printer for print quality analysis, the method comprising:
- selecting a print quality parameter that modifies a print quality of the printer when printing a test image;
- defining a range of values for the print quality parameter to utilize when printing the test image;
- defining a number of samples of the test image to print;
- and
- printing the number of samples of the test image, wherein each of the number of samples of the test image is printed utilizing a different value in the range defined for the print quality parameter to allow for an analysis of the print quality of the printer by the user.
A non-transitory computer readable medium tangibly embodying programmed instructions which, when executed by computing system of a printer, are operable for performing a method on the printer for print quality analysis, the method comprising:
- selecting a print quality parameter that modifies a print quality of the printer when printing a test image;
- defining a range of values for the print quality parameter to utilize when printing the test image;
- defining a number of samples of the test image to print;
- and
- printing the number of samples of the test image, wherein each of the number of samples of the test image is printed utilizing a different value in the range defined for the print quality parameter to allow for an analysis of the print quality of the printer by the user.
