Embodiment 1

[0040] Assume that there are two printers with a printing resolution of 720*720 DPI. The large format of printer 1 is 20*30 inch, that is, 14400*21600 pixel. The large format of printer 2 is 20*40inch, that is, 14400*28800 pixel.

[0041] Printer 1 has printed a large plate, and the printed job occupies the pixel area of ​​the large plate B1=14400*21600 pixel. The printer 2 has not printed yet, and the printed job occupies the pixel area of ​​the large version B2=0.

[0042] There is already one job 32 in the large plate 31 to be printed on the printer 1, and the job to be printed occupies the pixel area of ​​the large plate A1=14400*6000 pixle, such as image 3 shown. There are 5 jobs in the printing plate 41 of the printer 2, and the printing jobs occupy the pixel area of ​​the large plate, that is, Figure 4 The area A2 of the area 42 in the dotted line frame=14400*25000 pixel. The process of calculating A2 is: first compare the abscissas of the pixels in the upper lef...

Embodiment 2

[0045] In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 1, it is assumed that the format of the next print job is not 10*3 inches, but 10*6 inches, that is, 7200*4320 pixels. Since the large format of printer 2 is 14400*28800 pixel, and the format of the imposition job is 14400*25000 pixel, obviously, this job cannot be combined into the large format of printer 2, that is, the current large format is full. At this time, mark the large format of the printer 2 as full or start the printer 2 to print the current large format, and accumulate the pixel area of ​​the large format occupied by the printed jobs of the printer 2, that is, the calculator in the job distribution device reads the printer 2 The value in the counter of the pixel area of ​​the printed job occupied by the large version and the counter of the pixel area of ​​the large version of the job to be printed is added, and the two are added and sent to the counter of the pixel area of ​​the printed job occupied by the larg...

Abstract

The invention discloses a print job distribution method and a system thereof, in particular the job distribution method and the system when a plurality of printers carry out the printing simultaneously. The method and the system calculate the area P of a print job of each printer in the large version pixels according to the pixels of the devices and distribute the next job to the printer with the minimum P value. Therefore, the method and the system can balance the workloads of a plurality of printers and avoid that one printer is stopped and another printer always carries out the printing, thereby improving the overall output efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and system for allocating print jobs, in particular to a method and system for allocating jobs when multiple printers print simultaneously. Background technique [0002] In output software in the printing field, usually one output software is connected to one printer. If one output software is used to connect multiple printers at the same time and allow multiple printers to print at the same time, the printing efficiency can be greatly improved. Of course, if the method of allocating jobs to be printed is unreasonable, there will be a phenomenon that a certain printer is stagnant, while another printer has piled up a lot of jobs to be printed, thus affecting the improvement of efficiency. [0003] Usually, the media format of the printer is larger than the job format, and the output software will assemble multiple jobs together according to the format of the media to form a large version. After the large format is fi...
