Abstract
An example method includes maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations. The method further includes processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.
Claims15
A printing system comprising:
- a printer comprising a print engine;
- and
- a finisher to receive a page from the print engine and to perform a finishing task on the page, the finisher comprising a finisher controller to:
- determine an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations;
- and
- perform, by the finisher, the finishing task on the page based at least in part on the interpage delay value for an identified page attribute combination of the plurality of page attribute combinations.
A method comprising:
- maintaining, by a processing resource associated with a finisher communicatively coupled to a printer, an interpage delay table, the interpage delay table storing an interpage delay value for each of a plurality of page attribute combinations;
- and
- processing, by the finisher, a job based at least in part on a particular interpage delay value stored in the interpage delay table for an identified page attribute combination.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing resource of a computing device, cause the processing resource to:
- identify an interpage delay value in an interpage delay table that matches a received identified page attribute combination for a page;
- transmit the identified interpage delay value to a print engine, the identified interpage delay value being applied to a page of the page attribute combination;
- and
- instruct a finisher to perform a finishing task on the page of the page type responsive to arrival of the page.
