    Abstract: In an example of the disclosure, first and second print jobs are received at a printer. The first and second print jobs each include production frames. The first and second print jobs are printed with a media roll change occurring during printing. A first finishing device information nonproduction (“FDIN”) frame and a second FDIN frame are printed. The first and second FDIN frames include coded information regarding the first print job and the second print job, respectively. The coded information is for reading by a scanner at a finishing device. A press calibration nonproduction (“PCN”) frame that includes a printer calibration diagnostic is printed. A scanner at the printer is caused to capture the printer calibration diagnostic. A calibration operation is performed at the printer utilizing data or attributes captured from the printer calibration diagnostic.

    Abstract: Scheduling of manufacturing jobs is described herein. In accordance with an example, the scheduling of manufacturing jobs includes obtaining an order parameter associated with a product to be manufactured on a manufacturing equipment set. A product dimension of an intermediate product for the product is determined based on the order parameter and a production attribute. Further, the manufacturing job is scheduled for the product amongst manufacturing jobs for other products to be manufactured on the manufacturing equipment set, based on the product dimension of the intermediate product and a scheduling criterion. The scheduling criterion can be a parameter to regulate the scheduling of the manufacturing jobs on the manufacturing equipment set.
