Abstract
A scheduling system determines the order of specific operations in a printing apparatus which is capable of outputting simplex or duplex prints. If the actuation of a module associated with the apparatus, such as stapling or switching paper supplies, requires a delay in the operation of the apparatus, this delay is entered as at least one deliberately blank pitch in the schedule. The scheduling system creates a special finite state machine which can take into account delays of arbitrary length caused by the actuation of one or more modules.
