Application ID: 11517058

Base Claim:
1. A method for text driven document sizing for a plurality of differently-sized documents in a rendering device in a digital document system, comprising: automatically detecting document sizes for said plurality of differently-sized documents by pre-scanning all sides of said plurality of differently-sized documents to determine said minimum output document sizes needed to accommodate all sides of said plurality of differently-sized documents, wherein reproduced output document sizes of said plurality of differently-sized documents are larger sides of said plurality of differently-sized documents; automatically detecting minimum text sizes of text contained in said plurality of differently-sized documents; recording said minimum text sizes of said text contained in said plurality of differently-sized documents; detecting output document sizes available to said rendering device in response to automatically detecting said minimum text sizes of said text contained in said plurality of differently-sized documents and specifying a particular said minimum set text sizes; utilizing said detected said minimum text sizes and said particular minimum set text sizes to automatically determine image magnification ratios and document sizes required to achieve said particular minimum text sizes in rendered documents via said rendering device, wherein text sizes achieved in said rendered documents are as close as possible to said particular minimum set text sizes if said particular minimum set text sizes specified are unachievable; recalculating said magnification ratio to fill a largest loaded paper size; and automatically optimizing said plurality of differently-sized documents reproduction factors including at least one of original document size, image size, magnification ratios, and output document sizes.

Claim 5:
5. The method of claim 1 further comprising: collecting at least one user reproduction preference utilizing a user interface associated with said rendering device.
