Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an image forming processing method according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:
s201: after the print job is acquired, the text portion of the image to be printed is restored based on the text instruction contained in the print job.
S202: when the image instruction is included in the print job, the image portion of the image to be printed is eliminated based on the image instruction, and the target image to be printed is generated.
S203: and sending the target image to be printed to a print engine for printing.
In some embodiments, before S201 is performed, the image forming apparatus may be further controlled to enter the first printing mode in response to a first mode selection instruction of the user. When the user wants to save consumables (such as toner), the image forming apparatus can be controlled to enter the first printing mode, thereby achieving the purpose of saving consumables by printing only text. In some embodiments, the user may control the image forming apparatus to enter the first printing mode by operating on the image forming apparatus. In other embodiments, the user may also send corresponding control instructions to the image forming device via a drive-end device (e.g., a PC) or a mobile terminal (e.g., a smart phone or tablet computer, etc.) connected to the image forming device to control the image forming device to enter the first printing mode.
In some embodiments, the execution subject of the image forming processing method provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 2 may be the image forming apparatus or the driving end of the image forming apparatus, for example, a PC connected to the image forming apparatus and installed with a corresponding driver.
Regarding S201
After the execution device (the graphic forming device or the driving end device) acquires the print job, the print job is parsed. The print job is image data which can be identified by the image forming device and is drawn by the execution device through the driving module, the image data can comprise corresponding text instructions obtained by converting text parts in the content to be printed and corresponding image instructions obtained by converting image parts in the content to be printed, and the text instructions and the image instructions can be page description languages. Before the target image to be printed is sent to the print engine of the image forming apparatus for printing, the execution apparatus may perform corresponding processing (i.e., image restoration processing) on the print job to obtain a rasterized image (i.e., dot matrix image), and the print engine may perform a printing operation based on the rasterized image.
When the user wants to save the printing consumables, and controls the image forming apparatus to enter the first printing mode, the image forming apparatus may perform image restoration by using the image forming processing method provided in the embodiment shown in fig. 2. Specifically, after the execution device determines that the image forming device enters the first printing mode, after the print job is acquired, whether the print job contains an image instruction or not can be firstly confirmed, if the print job does not contain the image instruction, corresponding characters are directly restored based on the character instruction contained in the print job, so that a target image to be printed is obtained, and further, the target image to be printed can be sent to a print engine of the image forming device for printing. If the image instruction is included, S202 may be executed after the corresponding text is restored based on the text instruction.
Regarding S202
In the case where the image instruction is detected to be included in the print job, the image portion of the image to be printed may be eliminated to generate the target image to be printed.
In some embodiments, in the process of restoring the image to be printed, the text portion of the image to be printed may be restored based on the text instruction in the print job, and when it is determined that the image instruction is included in the print job, the image instruction may be suspended, that is, the image is restored based on the image instruction is refused to achieve the effect of eliminating the image portion of the image to be printed, and the target image to be printed is generated based on the text restored in S201.
In other embodiments, the manner of eliminating the image portion of the image to be printed may also be: in the process of restoring the image to be printed, after restoring the text portion, when the image is restored based on the image instruction included in the print job, the image is filled in white, and the target image to be printed is generated based on the text portion restored in S201 and the image filled in white.
The image to be printed generated in S202 is a rasterized image (dot matrix image), and in the above embodiment, the image obtained by restoration is filled with white, so that in the rasterized image, the white portion does not have dot matrix information, and further, the print result obtained by the print engine performing printing based on the rasterized image also contains only text portions, thereby meeting the purpose of saving printing consumables for users.
Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a print result after image deletion according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 3, after image deletion, the print result does not include image content, that is, the image portion is not printed, so that the purpose of saving printing consumables, which the user wants to achieve, is achieved.
In some embodiments, after eliminating the image portion of the image to be printed and before generating the target image to be printed, the eliminated image may also be position marked, thereby enabling the user to explicitly eliminate the position of the post-image in the print result.
In order to realize the function of eliminating the graphic position mark, the image forming device can be controlled to enter a second printing mode, in which only the text printing function and the image position mark function are started, specifically, only the text part is printed in the printing process, and the position of the image can be further marked on the basis. The manner of controlling the image forming apparatus to enter the second printing mode may be the same as or similar to the manner of controlling the image forming apparatus to enter the first printing mode, and will not be described again.
In the second printing mode, after the print job is acquired, the text portion of the image to be printed may be restored based on the text instruction contained in the print job, and when the image instruction is contained in the print job, the image portion of the image to be printed is eliminated based on the image instruction. The above manner may be the same as or similar to the first printing mode and will not be described again here. In the second printing mode, a frame for indicating the image position of the eliminated image (image portion) may be further drawn, different from the first printing mode, and the target image to be printed is generated after the image position is marked, wherein the target image to be printed includes the character portion obtained by restoration and the frame for indicating the image position of the eliminated image (image portion).
In some embodiments, the borders of the eliminated image may be drawn according to a preset brush width so that the user may determine the location of the eliminated image through the borders in the print result.
In some embodiments, after drawing a border indicating the image position of the eliminated image (image portion), an image identification may also be added within the border. By adding the image mark in the frame, the user can clearly determine the position of the frame as the position of the image on the printing result.
Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a frame of a removed image according to an embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, the image identifier may be a text identifier, and by way of example, the text identifier may be an identifier such as a "picture" or a "pattern", so that the text identifier may be displayed in a frame in the printing result, and the user may determine that the image is eliminated in the frame based on the text identifier.
In other embodiments, the image identifier may also be image format information of the eliminated image, and the image format information may be, for example, identifier of "PIC", "JPG", "IMG", etc., so that the image format information may be displayed in a frame in the print result, and the user may determine that the image in the frame is the eliminated image based on the image format information, and may further determine the format of the eliminated image.
In some embodiments, the location of the image identifier may also be preset, and illustratively, the image identifier may be set at the midpoint of the frame, at the top of the frame, at the bottom of the frame, at a corner (e.g., upper left corner, lower right corner, etc.) of the frame.
In some embodiments, the image occupying characters can be drawn at the preset positions, and the effect of displaying the positions of the eliminated images can be achieved, and meanwhile, the purpose of saving printing consumables is achieved.
Regarding S203
After the target image to be printed is obtained through S202, the target image to be printed may be sent to a print engine of the image forming apparatus to be printed, thereby obtaining a print result. Because the image to be printed is not included in the target image obtained by the print engine, a large amount of printing consumables (such as toner) can be saved, and therefore user experience is improved.
Fig. 5 is a flowchart of an image forming processing method according to another embodiment of the present application.
Referring to fig. 5, the method may include the steps of:
s501: after the print job is acquired, the text portion of the image to be printed is restored based on the text instruction contained in the print job.
The specific implementation of S501 may be the same as or similar to S201 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and will not be described herein.
S502: when the image instruction is included in the print job, it is determined whether the size of the corresponding image is smaller than the first preset size, if so, S503 is executed, and if not, S504 is executed.
When the print job includes an image instruction, size information of an image corresponding to the image instruction may be detected, and whether the size is smaller than a first preset size may be determined. In one embodiment, the first preset size may be 1/10 of the size of the image to be printed. In other embodiments, the first preset size may be other sizes, and may be set in a user-defined manner based on user requirements, which is not limited in the present application.
S503: and when the image is restored based on the image instruction, the resolution of the image is reduced to a preset resolution, and the target image to be printed is generated.
In some embodiments, when it is determined that the size of the image corresponding to the image instruction is smaller than the first preset size, the image may be restored based on the image instruction, and in the restoration process, the resolution of the image is reduced to a preset resolution, which may be 300dpi in an embodiment. For example, if the original image resolution obtained based on the original image instruction restoration is 1200dpi, the image resolution is reduced from 1200dpi to 300dpi, and then the target image to be printed is obtained. It should be noted that, if the resolution of the image corresponding to the image instruction is not greater than the preset resolution, resolution adjustment is not needed, and the image restored by the image instruction is the target image to be printed.
S504: determining whether the size of the corresponding image is smaller than a second preset size, if so, executing S505, and if not, executing S506.
Wherein the second preset size is larger than the first preset size, and in an embodiment, the second preset size may be 1/3 of the size of the image to be printed. In other embodiments, the second preset size may be other sizes, and may be set in a user-defined manner based on the user requirement, which is not limited in the present application.
S505: when the image is restored based on the image instruction, the image is scaled down and the scaled down image is made smaller than the first preset size, and then S502 is returned.
In some embodiments, when it is determined that the size of the image corresponding to the image instruction is smaller than the second preset size, the image may be restored based on the image instruction, and in the restoration process, the image is scaled down until the scaled-down image is smaller than the first preset size. Illustratively, when the image is smaller than the first preset size after the image is reduced to 30% of the original image size, the image reduction processing operation is ended. And returning to S502 after the image is scaled down, and further, after the image is detected and determined to be smaller than the first preset size, adjusting the resolution of the image to the preset resolution to obtain the target image to be printed.
S506: and eliminating the image part of the image to be printed based on the image instruction, and generating a target image to be printed.
When the size of the image corresponding to the image instruction is not smaller than the second preset size, the image occupies a relatively large area, and if the size of the image is reduced, the printing effect is affected, for example, the surrounding margin of the image is relatively large. Therefore, when the size of the image corresponding to the image instruction is not smaller than the second preset size, the corresponding image may be eliminated, and the specific implementation manner of S506 may be the same as or similar to S202 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, which is not described herein.
S507: and sending the target image to be printed to a print engine for printing.
After S503 or S506 is performed, S507 is performed, that is, after the target image to be printed is obtained, the target image to be printed is sent to the print engine to print. The specific implementation of S507 may be the same as or similar to S203 in the embodiment shown in fig. 2, and will not be described herein.
