Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for receiving, combining, and processing multiple input jobs of multiple formats that may or may not be native to a MFP into a single composed output job in a format native to or compatible with the MFP, which is then outputted. A plurality of jobs is received at the MFP. Then, the jobs are examined to determine which jobs, if any, are in a format native to the MFP, and which jobs, if any, are in a format not native to the MFP. Received jobs which are in formats not native to the MFP are converted into native formats. When all the jobs are in native formats, the jobs are then merged or combined into a single output job and outputted according to settings provided to the MFP.

Abstract: Systems for providing collated, face-up printer output. These systems may utilize a page-independent spool index file that may be manipulated to produce collated, face-up printer output that may not otherwise be available through a system's hardware or drivers.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for managing printer selection in a network of connected printers. The method comprises: accepting a print job; determining characteristics of the print job; selecting a printer in response to a programmable administrative policy that cross-references user-defined usage criteria to print job characteristics; and, sending the print job to the selected printer. The administrative policy is programmed to be responsive to print job characteristics such as user identity, client identity, the document processing application sourcing the print job, the document format, media, document complexity, color/BW, rendering, content, job scheduling, and printer capabilities such as stapling, duplex printing, or hole punching.
