An electronic printer (12) queues a number of jobs in a mass storage buffer (16). Generally, only those jobs that do not require operator intervention are selected for printing (40), and jobs that require operator intervention are collected (44) in the printer's mass storage buffer until an operator is available (60). When the collected jobs are to be run, the special set-up required is communicated to the operator via an operator interface (66). The operator has the option of requesting all, or select, special jobs then collected in mass storage, be run at any time convenient to the operator. |
