Methods and systems for operating a printing apparatus
Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a method comprising rendering a buffer image from a first image data received for printing. Further, the method includes scaling the buffer image to generated scaled buffer image. Furthermore, the method includes determining a first location of a machine readable indicia in the scaled buffer image. Additionally, the method includes causing a print head to print the buffer image on a print media to generate a printed content.
1 . A user computing device communicatively coupled with a printing apparatus, comprises:
a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:
receive an input from a user pertaining to print an image;
determine a location of a machine readable indicia in the image;
convert the image to a bit stream; and
transmit an instruction to the printing apparatus to print on a print media to generate a printed content, wherein the instruction comprises the bit stream and the location of the machine readable indicia,
wherein the location of the machine readable indicia facilitate the printing apparatus for identification of a region of interest in a captured image of the printed content.
2 . The user computing device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia and wherein a bounding box connecting the one or more locations that include a portion of the machine readable indicia in the image encompasses the region of interest.
3 . The user computing device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia by determining coordinates of the one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia.
4 . The user computing device of claim 3 , wherein the instruction further comprises the bit stream and coordinates of the one or more locations that include a portion of the machine readable indicia.
5 . The user computing device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to render a buffer image from the bit stream.
6 . The user computing device of claim 5 , wherein the bit stream comprises the region of interest.
7 . The user computing device of claim 6 , wherein the region of interest comprises at least one of an address field, a text content, a graphic content, or the machine readable indicia.
8 . The user computing device of claim 4 , wherein the bit stream is representative of the image to be printed on the print media.
9 . The user computing device of claim 8 , wherein the bit stream is representative of the image either in a monotone format, a continuous tone format or in a half tone format.
10 . The user computing device of claim 9 , wherein the bit stream is a compressed form of the image.
11 . The user computing device of claim 10 , wherein the portion of the printed content includes the machine readable indicia.
12 . A method for operating a user computing device communicatively coupled with a printing apparatus, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, an input from a user pertaining to print an image;
determining, by the one or more processors, a location of a machine readable indicia in the image;
converting, by the one or more processors, the image to a bit stream; and
transmitting, by the one or more processors, an instruction to the printing apparatus to print on a print media to generate a printed content, wherein the instruction comprises the bit stream and the location of the machine readable indicia,
wherein the location of the machine readable indicia facilitate the printing apparatus for identification of a region of interest in a captured image of the printed content.
13 . The method of claim 12 , further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia and wherein a bounding box connecting the one or more locations that include a portion of the machine readable indicia in the image encompasses the region of interest.
14 . The method of claim 13 , further comprising determining, by the one or more processors, one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia by determining coordinates of the one or more locations in the image that include a portion of the machine readable indicia.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the instruction further comprises the bit stream and coordinates of the one or more locations that include a portion of the machine readable indicia.
16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising rendering, by the one or more processors, a buffer image from the bit stream.
17 . The method of claim 16 wherein the bit stream comprises the region of interest.
18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the region of interest comprises at least one of an address field, a text content, a graphic content, or the machine readable indicia.
19 . The method of claim 15 , wherein the bit stream is representative of the image to be printed on the print media.
20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein the bit stream is representative of the image either in a monotone format, a continuous tone format or in a half tone format.
