Method and apparatus for operating printing presses
First Claim
1. A method for controlling measuring processes associated with a printed image applied to a printing material, the method comprising the following steps:
- positioning the printing material on a desk;
capturing, with a camera device, image information from the printed image on the printing material;
comparing, in a computer, data captured by the camera device with digital image data of the printed image;
triggering measuring processes of an image inspection device connected to the computer, with the computer, on a basis of an identified printed image on the printing material;
detecting, with the camera device, objects or persons covering the printing material;
carrying out, with the image inspection device, color measuring processes on the printed image on the printing material, on a basis of the detected objects or persons covering the printing material;
carrying out automatic recognition of a front or reverse side of a printing material with the camera device and the digital image data of the printed image; and
triggering measuring processes of the image inspection device automatically with the computer as a function of the side of the printing material lying on top.

Abstract
A method for controlling operating processes or measuring processes in connection with a printed image applied to a printing material, includes acquiring image information from the printed image on the printing material with a camera device. The data acquired by the camera is compared in a computer with digital image data of the printed image. Operating processes or measuring processes are triggered by the computer on the basis of the identified printed image on the printing material. The printing material is displayed on a desk, the camera device detects objects or persons covering the printing material and specific operating, processes or measuring processes are triggered on the basis thereof. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.

13. An apparatus for controlling measuring processes associated with a printed image applied to a printing material, the apparatus comprising:
-
a desk for positioning the printing material; a camera device for capturing image information from the printed image on the printing material, said camera device being removable and configured for use as a video magnifier; an image inspection device; a computer connected to said camera device for comparing data captured by said camera device with digital image data of the printed image and connected to said image inspection device for triggering measuring processes of said image inspection device on a basis of an identified printed image on the printing material; said camera device configured for detecting objects or persons covering the printing material for carrying out, with said image inspection device, color measuring processes on the printed image on the printing material, on a basis of the detected objects or persons covering the printing material; said camera device configured for automatic recognition of a front or reverse side of a printing material with the digital image data of the printed image; and said computer triggering measuring processes of said image inspection device automatically as a function of the side of the printing material lying on top. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
