Abstract

See full text

A system is provided to allow for automatic configuration of print engine scheduling software in accordance with descriptions of print engine modules. Each point engine module contains a description of itself in a form of module capabilities. When a print engine is formed from such modules, the system composes module capabilities to capabilities of a complete print engine. More particularly, inputs and outputs of capabilities are unified and constraints on their attributes are propagated. This enables derivation of potential outputs of the print engine. The resultant print engine capabilities are directly usable to configure scheduling software. Optionally, the resulting print engine capabilities may be compiled further.
