  • Print job control systems or document processing job control systems for controlling print jobs or document processing jobs at a printing station or document processing station are known.
  • the term “print station” is understood to mean a system installed at a specific location with at least one print server and at least one printer connected to the print server, which preferably has a high-speed printer.
  • high-performance printer with a printing performance of more than 40 A4 pages per minute, such as a printer of the series DEMADSTREAM 11 8000 web sold by the applicant. If a print station has several print servers, they are connected to the data network via a single entry point.
  • Such electrographically operating high-performance printers can print a print volume of 1 million to 30 million A4 pages per month.
  • the printing stations are intended for professional use and are usually supervised by at least one operator.
  • a suitable print server for such a printing station is the PRISMAproduction server system from Oce Printing Systems GmbH, which e.g. in the publication "Das Druckerbuch, Gerd Goldmann, Issue 5a, October 2000, ISBN 3- 00-001019-X” in Chapter 11.
  • Such a print server takes over the spooling, the print control, the error handling and accounting functions for the print job such as statistical evaluations, cost statements and print tracking.
  • the software of the PRISMApro server system is made up of several modules. One of these modules is a Print Job Manager (PJM), with which print jobs can be generated, ie job tickets are created for the print data, which contain the parameters necessary for printing, and the PJM can be used to monitor the status of print jobs in the system.
  • PLM Print Job Manager
  • Such printing stations are usually connected to an intranet or the Internet.
  • a printing station that would have the capacity to carry out all these print jobs would be immense and would only be used for a short time. If the print jobs could be easily and securely distributed to many existing print stations within the specified time window, all print jobs could be executed correctly in time and the geographically distributed print stations could be used for other print jobs during the rest of the time.
  • US Pat. No. 5,287,194 B1 discloses a "printshop management scheduling system" with which individual print jobs are distributed to different printers via a data network.
  • the data of the connected printers are stored in a database of this system, so that when a print job is received by the system a decision can be made as to whether the printer is able to carry out the print job by querying a spooling device which is designed independently of the printer and in which the print jobs are stored in queues for processing by the respective printer whether the incoming print job can be executed in the time required by the user If the print job can be executed on the respective printer in the required time, it is stored in the corresponding queue and a message is sent to the user as to when it is expected to be executed his is the print job cannot be executed under the required conditions, a corresponding message is sent to the user.
  • Such a system is suitable for controlling the print jobs within a printing station on which several different printers are provided.
  • Such a system is not suitable for controlling print jobs that are to be transmitted to arranged print stations distributed in a larger region, since the individual control of the individual printers and the spooling of the print jobs for a large number of printers in one system become extremely complex would and if errors occur, for example during the printing process, it would be very difficult to coordinate this. It is particularly problematic if the user has already been promised to process the print job within a certain time and then the promise cannot be kept due to an error occurring on a printer located far away.
  • US Pat. No. 6,184,996 B1 discloses a method for controlling queues, the queue (job queue) being remotely controlled via the Internet.
  • EP 1 150 200 A2 discloses a device for controlling a document processing order, which is part of a printer. This device is designed such that a document processing job that is to be printed in different formats and in different numbers of copies is kept in the printer until it has actually been printed. Such print jobs are e.g. before, if slides for a projector and corresponding copies are to be printed on paper for the individual listeners of the lecture. The printout on film and that on paper can be of different formats and the printout on paper is usually made several times.
