Device and method for processing a reprographic job

摘要

Device for receiving a reprographic job comprising a first processing step on a media by a first processing apparatus and a second, subsequent processing step on the media by a second processing apparatus, wherein the media that are to be output by the first processing apparatus are to be subjected to media handling operations between the first processing step and the second processing step comprising unloading from the first processing apparatus, intermediate media handling operations, and loading in the second processing apparatus; the device comprising: a controller arranged for creating or receiving the reprographic job; the controller being further arranged to access a storage storing configuration information on the second processing apparatus, the configuration information relating to loading media in the second processing apparatus; wherein the controller is arranged to specify the first processing step in the first specification in the reprographic job in order to simplify the media handling operations.

主权项

1. A device for creating or receiving a reprographic job, the reprographic job comprising a first specification of a first processing step on a media performed by a first processing apparatus and a second specification of a second processing step on the media performed by a second processing apparatus,
wherein the media that are to be output by the first processing apparatus are to be subjected to media handling operations performed by the operator between the first processing step and the second processing step comprising unloading from the first processing apparatus, optional intermediate media handling operations, and loading the media in the second processing apparatus, the device comprising: a controller arranged for creating or receiving the reprographic job; the controller being further arranged to access a storage storing configuration information on the second processing apparatus, the configuration information relating to loading media in the second processing apparatus; wherein the controller is arranged to specify the first processing step in the first specification in the reprographic job in order to simplify the media handling operations, by performing at least one of: determining a print order of documents in the reprographic job, determining a print order of pages in a document in the reprographic job, determining a print orientation of a page in a document in the reprographic job, and determining a print side on a media sheet of a page in a document in the reprographic job; wherein during the determining the stored configuration information with regard to the loading of the media in the second processing apparatus is taken into account.
