Method of processing a job, in a printing system, with a composite job ticket

摘要

A method of processing a job, with compound segments, in a printing system is provided. The method includes the steps of (a) generating a dialog (206), having a set of attributes designating a manner in which compound segments of the job are to be processed by the printing system, and (b) programming the dialog (216,218) so that values are provided for selected ones of the set of attributes. The method further includes the steps of (c) capturing the attribute values (222), programmed in step (b), to obtain a job ticket for a first one of the compound segments and (d) repeating (228) steps (a) - (c) for one or more other compound segments to create a composite job ticket. The compound segments are then processed, in accordance with the composite job ticket, so that one or more copies of the job are delivered (226) to one or more output/storage destinations. <IMAGE>
