Abstract
A photocopier optically scans a series of documents into corresponding digital images. Prior to printing an image on a print medium, such as paper, the photocopier arranges the scanned images on a preview page for display to a user. The user previews the images on the display to ensure that the images are aligned and do not overlap, and then prints the digital images to a single sheet. The images are printed to the single sheet as they are arranged on the preview page being displayed to the user.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- generating a first digital image corresponding to a front side of a document scanned by a photocopier during a scanning session;
- arranging the first digital image with a second digital image in a non-overlapping orientation in a single page layout for display to the user, wherein the second digital image corresponds to an a back side of the document previously scanned by the photocopier during the scanning session;
- displaying the first digital image with the second digital image in the single page layout as arranged in the non-overlapping orientation;
- prompting a user to indicate whether to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- printing the first and second digital images on a single sheet of paper in the non-overlapping orientation as arranged in the single page layout if the user chooses to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- and
- displaying each digital image in the single page layout as an outline representing the digital image if a current resolution of the display device does not exceed a predetermined threshold.
4 more elements
A photocopier device comprising:
- an optical scanner configured to scan documents into digital images;
- a display configured to display the digital images to a user;
- and
- a processing circuit communicatively connected to the optical scanner and the display and configured to:
- generate a first digital image corresponding to a front side of a document scanned by the optical scanner during a scanning session;
- arrange the first digital image with a second digital image in a non-overlapping orientation in a single page layout for display to the user, wherein the second digital image corresponds to a back side of the document previously scanned by the optical scanner during the scanning session;
- display the first digital image with the second digital image in the single page layout as arranged in the non-overlapping orientation;
- prompt the user to indicate whether to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- print the first and second digital images on a single sheet of paper in the nonoverlapping orientation as arranged in the single page layout if the user chooses to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- and
- wherein if a current resolution of the display device does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the processing circuit is further configured to display each of the first and second digital images as outlines respectively representing the first and second digital images.

A computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store a control application that, when executed by a processing circuit in a photocopier device, configures a controller to:
- generate a first digital image corresponding to a document scanned by the optical scanner during a scanning session;
- arrange the first and second digital images on the single page layout in a non-overlapping orientation for display to the user, wherein the second digital image corresponds to an opposing side of the document previously scanned by the optical scanner during the scanning session;
- display the first digital image with the second digital image in the single page layout as arranged in the non-overlapping orientation;
- prompt the user to indicate whether to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- print the first and second digital images on a single sheet of paper in the non-overlapping orientation as arranged in the single page layout if the user chooses to keep the first digital image in the single page layout;
- and
- wherein if a current resolution of the display device does not exceed a predetermined threshold, the control application further configures the processing circuit to display each of the first and second digital images as outlines respectively representing the first and second digital images.
