Abstract

A print controller and associated methods are disclosed. Some print jobs received in the print controller are stored in a rasterized or ripped job spool. The release of these jobs is coordinated by a control system in the print controller. The control system processes an algorithm to determine a sequence of releasing one or more print jobs stored in the rasterized job spool. The control system generates a job despool token and transmits the job despool token to a rasterized job handling system through the data stream of the raw print jobs (such as through the interpreter). The job despool token follows the normal data stream of print jobs through the print controller to the rasterized job handling system. Responsive to receiving and processing the job despool token, the rasterized job handling system releases the print job from the rasterized job spool to a print queue.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of printer systems, and more particularly to a print controller that uses a job despool token to print data stored in a rasterized job spool. Job release is controlled. Background technique [0002] A printing system associated with a data processing enterprise typically includes a local print controller located within the printing system. The print controller controls the overall operation of the printing system including, for example, host interface technology, page description language interpretation, rasterization, and low-level process control or interface features of the print engines associated with the printing system. Host interaction may include appropriate adapters for coupling the printing system with one or more host systems using one or more communication media and one or more communication protocols. A printing system receives raw print jobs from one or more attached host systems. Unprocessed...
