<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly display the load states of individual printers in the system at their respective points of time graphically and also in real time. SOLUTION: A print server displays a schedule view like a selection drawing. In the schedule view, individual print jobs are represented by rectangles having a length corresponding to their own printing time and colors (or patterns) corresponding to their own states and displayed while arranged linearly for each allocated printer. It is possible to intuitively grasp the relative magnitude of the load of each printer by the length of a job graph and also the absolute quantity of the load of each printer, converted into the printing time, with a time scale displayed at the same time, respectively. In addition, the total amount of jobs unallocated to the printers, the details of jobs being processed and jobs being selected, or the state of each printer or the like are displayed at the same time.</p> |
