摘要:
A system assigns a plurality of printing or other information distribution jobs to a plurality of medium units for processing. The system includes an input interface module receiving from customers, specification data files each specifying an information display job in a specification file signal. The input interface module selects for each specification data file at least one medium unit suitable for performing the information display job in the specification data file and forms for each specification file signal, a job description format (JDF) file recording the information in the specification data file and the identifier of each selected medium unit. The input interface module provides the JDF file in a JDF file signal. An application interface module receives each JDF file signal, and deletes all but one of the at least one medium unit identifiers specified in the JDF file, and provides a modified JDF file signal based on the JDF file signal. A job aggregation module within the application interface module receives each modified JDF file signal and transmits the data content therein to the medium unit specified in the modified JDF file signal.
