Abstract

See full text

In a system for scheduling a sequence of operations in an apparatus for outputting, for example, simplex and duplex digitally-printed documents, a schedule is derived for obtaining a desired output order of documents, and this schedule is proposed to the apparatus in real time. As individual operations are accepted for execution by the apparatus, the accepted operation is recorded in an execution table. If a proposed operation is rejected by the apparatus, the execution table can be used to revise the schedule quickly to take into account the rejected operation while still obtaining the desired output order.
