An auditron system is provided for a multifunctional printing system including a printing machine with a plurality of document processing services, the auditron system includes a user interface and a programmable auditron subsystem communicating with the user interface and printing machine. The auditron subsystem is responsive to input at the user interface and the input causes the auditron subsystem to be disposed in one of a plurality of modes relative to one of the plurality of document processing services. When the programmable auditron subsystem is disposed in a first one of a plurality of modes, an accounting of each document processing operation performed relative to the one of the plurality of document processing services is maintained on a mandatory basis, and when the programmable auditron subsystem is disposed in a second one of the plurality of modes, accounting of each document processing operation performed relative to the one of the plurality of document processing services is maintained selectively in accordance with user demand.

An authorization service is provided for use with a multifunctional printing system. The printing machine includes a first document processing service and a second document processing service. The first document processing service includes a first set of one or more document processing operations with each of the first set of one or more document processing operations being performable relatives to the electronic document. The second document processing service includes a second set of one or more document processing operations with each of the second set of one or more document processing operations being performable relative to the electronic document. The system also includes a programmable authorization system that controls a manner in which a first set of users accesses the first set of one or more document processing operations and a second set of users access the second set of one or more document processing operations.

In a system and method for streak detection in a fixed imaging array digital scanning system, redundant information regarding individual lines of a scanned image collected by multiple discrete rows or sets of scanning sensors in the imaging array are compared. Stationary obstructions in the field of view of the imaging array are detected through this comparison which would otherwise appear repeatedly reproduced as streaks or lines in the reproduced output image.

The present invention is directed to a system and method for compensating for offset and gain drift in a fast scan direction during an image forming process. To achieve compensation, the present invention samples a plurality of permanently darkened pixels upon powering up image sensors and circuitry therefor and during a sub-scanning process of an image and feeds this information into an offset value generating circuit. The offset generating circuit continually adjusts a pixel offset voltage according to a difference between sequential samples of the permanently darkened pixel, thereby compensating for fast scan offset drift. The present invention also samples a plurality of active pixels during a scanning of a calibration strip. From this scan, a gain corrective value is calculated. The present invention then samples active pixels during a scanning of a platen background.
