Abstract
In a method or printing system for generation of document processing jobs, control parameters for the document processing jobs are read from different sources and stored in a control file. Priorities are associated with the sources. In the event specific control parameters are present in a plurality of the sources, control parameters from the sources that have a highest priority are stored in the control file.
Claims19
A method for generation of document processing jobs in a printing system, comprising the steps of:
- reading control parameters for the document processing jobs from different sources and storing them in a control file, priorities being associated with the sources, the priorities of the sources being defined in one or more priority lists, the priority of the respective source being determined using the priority lists upon writing of the parameters into the control file;
- and
- in the event specific control parameters are present in a plurality of the sources, storing in the control file the control parameters from the sources that have a highest priority.
A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising a computer program for generation of document processing jobs in a printing system and that performs the steps of:
- reading control parameters for the document processing jobs from different sources and storing them at a control file, priorities being associated with the sources;
- in the event specific control parameters are present in a plurality of sources, storing in the control file control parameters for sources that have a highest priority;
- and
- the computer program being sub-divided into a plurality of modules, a check as to whether a new file has been generated in a directory being executed in one of the modules, job templates being associated with the print job, and an order of processing of the individual print jobs in the individual modules being controlled by means of job lists in which the job templates belonging to the print jobs are entered insofar as the corresponding print job should be processed in the corresponding module.
