Abstract
A technique includes receiving a plurality of speed control requests from a plurality of components of a processing pipeline for a printing press system. The technique includes controlling the speed of the printing press system based on the plurality of speed control requests.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving a plurality of speed control requests from a plurality of components of a processing pipeline for a printing press system, wherein each speed control request of the plurality of speed control requests proposes an action associated with controlling a speed of the printing press system;
- and
- controlling the speed of the printing press system based on the plurality of speed control requests.
An apparatus comprising:
- a print engine comprising a controller and having a variable speed at which the print engine provides a printed media, wherein the print engine is part of a printing press system pipeline comprising an upstream end to receive data describing documents to be printed, the print engine is disposed at a downstream end of the printing press system pipeline, and the print engine receives raster image data generated in the printing press system pipeline upstream of the print engine;
- wherein:
- the controller to receive data representing a status of a component of the printing press system pipeline upstream of the print engine, and
- the controller is to control the speed of the print engine based on the data representing the status of the component.
1 more element
An article comprising a non-transitory machine readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a machine cause the machine to:
- receive a plurality of speed control requests from a plurality of components of a processing pipeline for a printing press system;
- and
- control a print engine of the printing press system to regulate a speed of the print engine based on the speed control requests.
