INTERACTIVE PRINTING WITH A PLURALITY OF PRINTER DEVICES |
摘要 |
A network system for printing digital print files, including personal workstations of users and a plurality of printers. The system further includes a print service and a print file storage service , that may be implemented in several ways. A user may submit a print file without specifying a particular printer on which the file must be printed. Then, he can walk up t o any of the printers and start the print process for his print file there. In operation, the print service receives the print file, extracts metadata specifying job information from the file, and stores the file in the print file storage service. The metadata of the file are transmitted to the printers, which include the metadata in local print selection mechanisms resident in said printers. The user may select his print file at the operating panel of any one of the printers and start the printing process. In response, that printer fetches the print image data of the selected file from the print file storage service and prints the file.</ SDOAB> |
