Abstract

A user device constructs a custom color table for an imaging device and transmits the custom color table to a computing device. The computing device digitally signs the custom color table constructed at the user device. The digitally signed custom color table is deployed to the imaging device. The imaging device processes an image using the using the digitally signed custom color table.

Claims (41)

1. A non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium storing program code executable by a user device to perform processing comprising:

constructing a custom color table for an imaging device;

transmitting the custom color table to a computing device, the computing device digitally signing the custom color table; and

deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device, the imaging device using the digitally signed custom color table when processing an image.

2. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

receiving the digitally signed custom color table from the computing device; and

directly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device without interaction between the imaging device and the computing device.

3. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 2 , wherein directly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

transmitting the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

4. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 2 , wherein directly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

storing the digitally signed custom color table on a removable storage device connected to the user device, a user of the user device subsequently disconnecting the removable storage device from the user device and connecting the removable storage device to the imaging device for loading of the digitally signed custom color table from the removable storage device to the imaging device.

5. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

indirectly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 5 , wherein indirectly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

causing the computing device to transmit the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

7. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the imaging device comprises a printing device, and the processing comprises printing the image.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable data storage medium of claim 1 , wherein the imaging device comprises a scanning device, and the processing comprises scanning the image.

9. A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device from a user device, a custom color table for an imaging device constructed at the user device;

digitally signing, by the computing device, the custom color table; and

deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device, the imaging device using the digitally signed custom color table when processing an image.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

indirectly deploying, by the computing device, the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device without interaction between the imaging device and the computing device.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein indirectly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

transmitting the digitally signed custom color table from the computing device to the user device, the user device directly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

directly deploying, by the computing device, the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein directly deploying the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device comprises:

transmitting, by the computing device, the digitally signed custom color table to the imaging device.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the processing comprises printing or scanning the image.

15. An imaging device comprising:

imaging hardware;

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:

receive, from a removable storage device connected to the imaging device, from a user device, or from a computing device, a custom color table constructed at the user device and digitally signed by the computing device; and

cause the imaging hardware to process an image using the custom color table.

16. The imaging device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is to receive the custom color table from the removable storage device connected to the imaging device.

17. The imaging device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is to receive the custom color table from the user device at which the custom color table was constructed.

18. The imaging device of claim 15 , wherein the processor is to receive the custom color table from the computing device that digitally signed the custom color table.

19. The imaging device of claim 15 , wherein the imaging hardware comprises print hardware, and the processing comprises printing the image.

20. The imaging device of claim 15 , wherein the imaging hardware comprises scanning hardware, and the processing comprises scanning the image.
