A method of determining a feed position of a print medium in an imaging apparatus includes an encoder device, connected to a feed shaft, that produces a first periodic signal and a second periodic signal approximately 90 degrees out of phase with the first. A modified first signal is created. A modified second signal is created. The modified first signal is added to the modified second signal to create a summation signal that has a plurality of local minimum values, a plurality of local maximum values, and a plurality of substantially linear segments. A periodic modified summation signal is created by adding a corresponding constant value to each linear segment. The feed position of the print medium is calculated based upon a number of cycles of the modified summation signal counted and a determined value of the modified summation signals.

The present invention relates to a method and system for accurately indexing print receiving media of various types. A media indexing system is provided that includes a roller capable of indexing a print receiving medium in response to an indexing operation. A relationship exists between a commanded indexing operation of the roller and resultant indexing of a first type of print receiving medium. A type of print receiving medium is supplied to the media indexing system. The type of the print receiving medium is generally identified. A desired amount by which the print receiving medium should be indexed is identified. A commanded indexing operation of the roller to index by the desired amount is modified based on the type of the print receiving medium and the relationship. The print receiving can be indexed by substantially the desired amount.

An apparatus for the management of the fluid level in a media coating system. In one embodiment, the apparatus has a supply item for the storage of a media coating fluid and an applicator having a trough for receiving the media coating fluid from the supply item. The apparatus utilizes a fluid level detection sensor that is located within the applicator to measure whether the media coating fluid level within the trough of the applicator is either above or below a threshold position and to generates an output signal. The apparatus has a controller for receiving the output signal and controlling delivery of the media coating fluid from the supply item to the applicator.

A method for compiling, in a memory of a facsimile machine, at least one listing of telephone numbers or partial telephone numbers corresponding to authorized senders, or unauthorized senders, or both authorized and unauthorized senders. The method includes at least one of the following steps: 1) manually entering into the facsimile machine a code corresponding to a telephone number or partial telephone number to be added to the listing; or 2) manually entering into the facsimile machine a telephone number or partial telephone number to be added to the listing; or 3) causing the facsimile machine to scan machine readable data corresponding to a telephone number or partial telephone number to be added to the listing; or 4) manually selecting a telephone number or partial telephone number, or information corresponding to a telephone number or partial telephone number, displayed on a graphical display unit of the facsimile machine; or 5) sending an in-process signal while the facsimile machine is in the process of receiving or printing a facsimile from a sender, wherein the in-process signal causes a telephone number or partial telephone number of the sender to be added to the listing.

A method for the automatic generation of a quick dial reference sheet includes associating each of a plurality of quick dial buttons of an apparatus with a respective entry of a plurality of entries in a quick dial database; defining a layout of the quick dial reference sheet to have a plurality of printable areas respectively associated with the plurality of quick dial buttons; populating each area of the plurality of printable areas in the layout of the quick dial reference sheet with a corresponding identification retrieved from a corresponding one of the plurality of entries of the quick dial database; and printing a copy of the populated layout on a sheet of media. In a further embodiment the quick dial reference sheet can be incised or perforated to a desired size.
