Method and apparatus for selecting job control device profiles

摘要

A printing device contains a first native print job control profile and one or more non-native print job control profiles. The printing device receives a print job containing print job commands and compares the print job commands with the first native job control profile. If all the print job commands correspond with command structures in the first job control profile, then the printing device uses the first native job control profile for interpreting print job commands. If the print job commands do not correspond with the command structures in the first native job control profile, then the printing device uses one of the second non-native control profile for interpreting the print job commands.
