Abstract: A print job received by a printing system has subsets of items. Multiple items are printed on each sheet. Finishing devices of the printing system are limited to processing a single subset of the items at a time, causing printing devices to wait skipped-pitch delays. An unadjusted number of machine-hours to complete the print job is determined based on continuous printing without interruption. A skipped-pitch delay is assigned to each of the subsets of items based on the number of sheets used to print each of the subsets of items. A revised number of machine-hours to complete the print job is calculated by adding the total skipped-pitch delay for the print job to the unadjusted number of machine-hours. The number of the printing devices and the finishing devices to use to complete the print job is determined based on the revised number of machine-hours.

Abstract: A sheet supply device has a bottom contacting or resting on an external surface. The sheet supply device stores sheets of media and supplies the sheets of media to a processing device. The sheet supply device comprises a controller device, a platform supporting the sheets of media, and a foot-activated user input device positioned at the bottom of the sheet supply device adjacent the external surface. The platform moves upward (in a first direction away from the external surface) to supply the sheets of media to the processing device, and the platform moves downward (in a second direction toward the external surface) to allow the sheets of media to be loaded onto the platform. Operation of the foot-activated user input device causes the compartment to open and/or the platform to move downward (in the second direction).
