Ranking print jobs based on transfer media healthy area

摘要

In an embodiment, a processor-readable medium stores code representing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to access a list of print jobs for printing. The processor further determines a healthy area of a transfer media. For each job in the list, the processor calculates an image risk area (IRA) based on the healthy area, and ranks each job in a print order according to its IRA.
