SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMAGE QUALITY ANALYSIS AND DIAGNOSTICS
First Claim
1. An image quality diagnostic system for diagnosing an image, the system comprising:
- at least one processor device communicating with a network for executing a series of programmable instructions for performing the method of;
receiving via the network from a remote node of the network a service incident report including an indication of a type of a printer device, the printer device being disposed along the network at a location remote from the at least one processor device;
accessing a storage device storing a collection of test patterns;
electronically selecting a test pattern from the collection of test patterns based on the type of the printer device, wherein the test pattern is configured as input that the printer device can receive and output corresponding printed output; and
transmitting the selected test pattern via the network for the selected test pattern to be provided as input to the printer device.

Abstract
A system and method for diagnosing image quality of a printer device'"'"'s output is provided. The method includes receiving by a processor, via a network from a remote node of the network, a service incident report. The incident report includes an indication of a type of the printer device the printer device being disposed along the network at a location remote from the processor. The method further includes accessing by the processor a storage device storing a collection of test patterns, selecting by the processor a test pattern from the collection of test patterns based on the type of the printer device, wherein the test pattern is configured as input that the printer device can receive and output corresponding printed output, and transmitting by the processor the selected test pattern for the selected test pattern to be provided as input to the printer device.
