System and method for displaying color reproduction status on a job scheduling screen

A method for generating a job scheduling screen on a job management apparatus, the job management apparatus managing a print job for at least one printer, the method comprising:

• obtaining first information on a job to be executed by the at least one printer;
• obtaining second information on color reproduction state of the at least one printer;
• generating the job scheduling screen, wherein the job scheduling screen is a two dimensional chart in which a first axis indicates an execution length of time for the job or a number of sheets of paper to be used for the job, and in which a part of a second axis of the two dimensional chart indicates the color reproduction state of the at least one printer;
• and
• illustrating a color validation bar and a color calibration bar on the second axis, the color validation bar and the color calibration bar illustrating a time for performing a color validation process and a color calibration process on the at least one printer, respectively.

A job management apparatus managing a print job for at least one printer, the job management apparatus comprising:

• a processor configured to
• obtain first information on a job to be executed by the at least one printer;
• and
• obtain second information on color reproduction state of the at least one printer;
• and
• a job scheduling screen, wherein the job scheduling screen is a two dimensional chart in which a first axis indicates an execution length of time for the job or a number of sheets of paper to be used for the job, and in which a part of a second axis of the two dimensional chart indicates the color reproduction state of the at least one printer, and wherein a color validation bar and a color calibration bar are illustrated on the second axis, the color validation bar and the color calibration bar illustrating a time for performing a color validation process and a color calibration process on the at least one printer, respectively.
