Embodiment Construction

[0016] refer to figure 1 Shown is an operating environment diagram of a preferred embodiment of the printer task management system of the present invention.

[0017] In this embodiment, the user submits a printing task to the printer 1 through the computer 3, and sends the user's IP address or user name to the printer 1 at the same time. If the printing task has a certain urgency, the user submits the printing task You can also choose the priority of the print job. The computer 3 includes all computers in the local area network, and can be connected to the printer 1 through a server, and the printer 1 is used to execute printing tasks submitted from the computer 3 .

[0018] The printer 1 includes a memory 2 , a processor 10 , a screen 11 , a sounding device 12 and a paper outlet area 13 . The memory 2 includes a printer job management system 20 and a buffer area 21 .

[0019] There are multiple buffers with different priorities in the buffer area 21 for storing printing ta...

Abstract

A printer task management method comprises the steps of: (a) storing printing tasks in corresponding buffer areas; (b) reading a printing task from a buffer region in which the printing task is stored and has a high priority, and executing the printing task; (c) when the execution of the present printing task is completed and a printing task which is not executed is still present, returning to the step (b); (d) when the execution of the present printing task is not finished yet and no printing task is present in a buffer area which is higher than the buffer area where the present printing task is present in priority, continuing the execution of the present printing task; and (e) when the execution of the present printing task is not finished yet and a printing task is present in the buffer area which is higher than the buffer area where the present printing task is present in priority, suspending the present printing task, and then reading the printing task from the buffer area which is higher than the buffer area where the present printing task is present in priority and executing the same. The invention also provides a printer task management system. With the system and the method provided in the invention, the printing tasks can be executed flexibly; as a result, the printing efficiency is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a task management system and method, in particular to a printer task management system and method. Background technique [0002] Printer sharing is the most commonly used practice in office LANs. Shared printers are not only beneficial to enterprise management but also save usage costs. However, sharing the printer will also cause multiple users to print files at the same time. In this case, the printer only executes the printing tasks according to the order in which the printing tasks are submitted. However, when a user is printing a file with many pages, such as the payroll of thousands of employees, if other users have important files that need to be printed urgently, the user must print all the files or cancel the printing task before printing. Print other users' files. This traditional printing method lacks a priority mechanism, which brings inconvenience to users when printing files. Contents of the invention [0003...
