Abstract
Embodiments herein process a plurality of jobs through a document handler (the jobs comprise one or more media sheets), scan the media sheets as the media sheets pass through the document handler and pass by a scanner, and maintain statistics of registration of the media sheets with respect to the scanner over time (hours or days). The method compares the statistics with a predetermined registration range and provides a notification of a scanner re-registration requirement when the statistics are outside the predetermined range.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- processing a plurality of jobs through a document handler, wherein said jobs comprise one or more media sheets;
- scanning said media sheets as said media sheets pass through said document handler and pass by a scanner;
- using a computer, maintaining statistics of registration of said media sheets with respect to said scanner over time;
- using said computer, comparing said statistics with a predetermined registration range;
- and
- using a computer, providing a notification of a scanner re-registration requirement when said statistics are outside said predetermined registration range.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- processing a plurality of jobs through a document handler, wherein said jobs comprise one or more media sheets;
- scanning said media sheets as said media sheets pass through said document handler and pass by a scanner;
- using a computer, maintaining statistics of registration of said media sheets with respect to said scanner until a predetermined period has passed;
- using said computer, after said predetermined period has passed, comparing said statistics with a predetermined registration range;
- and
- using said computer, providing a notification of a scanner re-registration requirement when said statistics are outside said predetermined range.
An apparatus comprising:
- a document handler;
- a scanner adjacent said document handler, wherein said scanner is adapted to scan media sheets as said media sheets pass through said document handler and pass by said scanner;
- a processor operatively connected to said scanner and being adapted to maintain statistics of registration of said media sheets with respect to said scanner over time;
- a comparator operatively connected to said processor and being adapted to compare said statistics with a predetermined registration range;
- and
- an interface operatively connected to said comparator and being adapted to provide a notification of a scanner re-registration requirement when said statistics are outside said predetermined registration range.
