A print job processing system includes a printer; a user interface; a job file receiving section; and a media management system adapted to extract media specifications from a received job file and check the media specifications for compatibility with properties and/or a current status of the printer. The media management system is adapted to check whether essential media specifications are defined in the job file or not and, when they are not defined, to invite the user via the user interface to complete the specifications.

The invention relates to a printing system for printing a plurality of print jobs, the printing system comprising a receiving unit for receiving the plurality of print jobs, a control unit for controlling a scheduling process and a printing process of the plurality of print jobs, a print unit for printing the plurality of print jobs, a plurality of supply holders for holding supply material needed to print the plurality of print jobs, and a user interface unit for communication to the operator of scheduled supply operator actions for printing the plurality of print jobs. Each of the scheduled supply operator actions is linked to one of the plurality of supply holders. The control unit comprises an establishing unit for establishing time period of unattended printing of the printing system, and a determination unit for determining scheduled supply operator actions per holder needed to be done before the time period of unattended printing starts. The user interface unit is configured to display the established time period of unattended printing and the determined supply operator actions per holder. The invention also relates to a method suitable for application in the printing system.

摘要:
A print fleet system includes a plurality of printer instances, which have a same set of at least one system setting. A registration system registers print jobs in combination with system settings of the same set of at least one system setting. An advice system generates advice for an operator. The registration system includes a value change made to the set of at least one system setting of a printer instance before printing a print job on the print engine. The advice system is configured to generate advice related to the same print job intended to be printed on another printer instance, the advice concerning the change includes in the registration system. The advice system is configured to transmit signals representing the advice to a user interface screen in order to advise the operator before printing the same print job on the other printer instance.
