摘要： A data printing system has a controller which controls the printing of jobs from at least one input unit by a printer. When the controller receives a plurality of jobs, it establishes a sequential order of transmission and generates a display signal indicating the times at which the respective jobs will be printed. That display signal may then generate a display at the input unit(s) or at a display associated with the controller itself. In this way, users are given information about the times of printing. The sequence of printing of the jobs may be established on the basis of a priority associated with the jobs themselves and/or on the amount of material currently available for printing by the printer and/or on the maximum capacity of printed paper. Display may be associated with that amount and/or capacity.

摘要翻译： 数据打印系统具有控制器，其通过打印机控制来自至少一个输入单元的作业的打印。 当控制器接收到多个作业时，它建立顺序的传输顺序，并产生指示将打印各个作业的时间的显示信号。 然后，该显示信号可以在输入单元或与控制器本身相关联的显示器处产生显示。 以这种方式，向用户提供有关打印时间的信息。 作业的打印顺序可以基于与作业本身相关联的优先级和/或当前可用于打印机打印的材料的数量和/或打印纸的最大容量来建立。 显示可能与该数量和/或容量相关联。
