The production terminal can also be a portable memory device such as a memory card, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and the like. 1284262 In the present embodiment, the computer terminal 100 is equipped with a print driver 102 to generate and output a file to be printed (indicated by the printed material 1〇4). In order to judge the order in which the documents are printed, the present invention assigns the document - priority, and priority to the primary value; a numerical value can be compared in several documents, and the priority can be, The right generation unit is automatically or manually generated by the computer terminal 1 or automatically generated by the machine terminal 200. In the embodiment of the first figure, the priority generating unit is the printing driver 1_providing-automatic setting priority unit 106 at the computer terminal 100, and the automatic deferred priority unit 106 is in the file, that is, In the process of printing the data 104, a predetermined priority value is automatically generated by the preset matching condition to be attached to the printed material 1〇4. The priority generation single t1106 may be determined according to whether the data of the file is compressed, the size of the file, the number of printed pages, and the name of the user. The above conditions may be judged one or more successively to generate a priority value, and each of the preparations and the parts are different in degree and each represents a numerical value, for example, a file that is compressed, has a small number of broadcasts, and has a small number of pages. For higher priority values, the user name can be assigned a high priority value based on the position.

The horse and the page number--the file in the single-page format are stored in the memory device 219 of (4). Each file file may include a document identification number, a page number, and a print data, and the print data may include paper width, paper length, paper size, paper type, and resolution. This single-page format file is the key to this invention - it can be used to print subsequent prints without deleting the entire file being printed, and allowing the insertion of higher priority files. Default) default) default) default) default) The job response table 220 is mainly used to record the status of the file to be printed, including the following fields: file identification code (J〇b_ID, for example, from 1 to N) Whether the identifier is used (Using, for example, 〇 represents the default value default), the number of received pages (RxPage, for example, 〇 represents the total number of presets (Total Page, for example, 〇xffff represents the default value currently printed) No (printing, for example, 〇 represents the preset number of printed pages (printing page, 〇 represents the preset user name (UserName, for example, 〇 represents the preset password (Password, for example, 〇 represents the preset value Default), priority (prior, can be preset to none), and the file name is for the user to manually select which job to print first. The manual operation unit 230 has an interrupt button 232 and a The user operates the interface 234 for the user to manually select the file to be printed first. In order to prevent the multi-person from using the interrupt function, the manual operation unit 1284262 yuan 230 can increase the password limit. The system is used to limit the permission to interrupt the printing of the file.
