Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method in a copier system for adjusting scanned images for printing, the computer implemented method comprising: responsive to scanning a page within a plurality of pages in a print job to form a scanned image of the page, calculating, by the copier system, one or more bounding boxes for the scanned image of the page; cropping, by the copier system, the scanned image of the page to a size of the one or more bounding boxes removing blank areas that do not contain scannable images to form a cropped image of the page; rotating, by the copier system, the cropped image of the page to align with a scanner bed of the copier system; centering, by the copier system, the cropped image of the page; determining, by the copier system, if scanned image data from another page within the plurality of pages in the print job can fit with the cropped image of the page on a selected page size; responsive to determining that scanned image data from another page within the plurality of pages in the print job can fit with the cropped image of the page on the selected page size, determining, by the copier system, if more pages within the plurality of pages need to be scanned in the print job; responsive to determining that more pages within the plurality of pages need to be scanned in the print job, scanning, by the copier system, another page within the plurality of pages in the print job; responsive to determining that no more pages need to be scanned within the plurality of pages in the print job, determining, by the copier system, a print layout for all pages within the plurality of pages in the print job by reordering cropped images of pages in the print job that fit on a same page of the selected page size prior to printing; and printing, by the copier system, the print job on the selected page size by printing reordered cropped images of pages in the print layout that fit on the same page of the selected page size on the same page.
