METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS (DETERMINING RESTART POINT OR REPRINT RANGE FOR REPRINTING PRINT JOB)

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine the restart point for reprinting of a print job, such as for continuous forms printers.

SOLUTION: A method of the invention includes a step 302 of processing the print job to identify logical pages in the print job. Another step 304 includes mapping the logical pages to sheets on which the logical pages will be subsequently printed to generate a page-to-sheet data structure. If there is a request to reprint the print job, then the method includes another step 306 of identifying a logical page from which to initiate reprinting of the print job based on input from all operator. Another step 308 includes identifying a sheet corresponding with the logical page based on the page-to-sheet data structure to allow for reprinting of the print job from the identified sheet. When the sheet is identified, reprinting may begin from the identified sheet.
