Abstract
A system and method for noise management for printers includes a processor that retrieves temporal data indicative of a current day or time. A print job is received via a network interface. The processor determines a relative noise level associated with printing of the print job and modifies a printing operation of an electronic document associated with a received print job in accordance with a determined, relative noise level and retrieved temporal data.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a network interface configured to receive a print job;
- a memory storing data indicative of a plurality of network printers, each network printer associated with data corresponding to a noise sensitivity level;
- and
- a processor configured to
- retrieve temporal data indicative of a current day or time, the temporal data further including digital calendar data indicative of active and inactive business periods,
- determine a relative noise level associated with printing of the print job, and
- modify a printing operation of an electronic document associated with the received print job in accordance with the determined, relative noise level and the retrieved temporal data.
