1. A system for paperless testing of image quality comprising:
- means adapted for receiving first electronic document data from a first document source, the first electronic document data including document output data representative of an document and supplemental data corresponding to the first electronic document data, which supplemental document data includes data representative of a desired characteristic of an output document emanating from the first electronic document;
means adapted for generating image data corresponding to the first electronic document data;
means adapted for generating first characteristic data associated with the first image data;
means adapted for receiving second electronic document data from a second document source, the second electronic document data including the document output data;
means adapted for generating second image data corresponding to received second electronic document data;
means adapted for generating second characteristic data associated with the second image data; and
comparison means adapted for generating comparison data relating to a comparison of the first characteristic data and the second characteristic data.

Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for testing the output of a digital imaging system. The method comprises the steps of sending a test job to a test digital imaging system and generating test information. The test information suitably comprises a plurality of computed values, each computed value corresponding to a portion of the test job. The test information is then compared with control information produced by sending the test job to a control digital imaging system. In addition, the invention provides a digital imaging device designed to accept test job and capable of generating the test information upon initiation of testing procedures.
