Method for Generating Print Jobs in a Printing System, Method for Sorting Print Jobs in a Printing System, Computer Program Product and Printing System for Carrying Out Said Methods

摘要

In a method or printing system for generation of document processing jobs, control parameters for the document processing jobs are read from different sources and stored in a control file. Priorities are associated with the sources. In the event specific control parameters are present in a plurality of the sources, control parameters from the sources that have a highest priority are stored in the control file. Also in a method or printing system for sorting of print jobs, a check of specific directories as to whether a file belonging to a new print job has been generated is repeatedly implemented. A job identification number is associated with each new print job, the job identification numbers for print jobs stored in a specific group of directories being respectively generated chronologically. A plurality of print jobs are sorted corresponding to the job identification numbers.
