Using network interface, constructs poly segment print jobs from many local and the remote source the manner

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user interface which has ability to selectively finish the jobs at a designated remote finishing station based on various local or remote document sources to be completed there. SOLUTION: This method can construct a multi-segment print job from various local and remote sources of a network via a network interface which identifies the print job segments and their positions in the network. The print job function constitution start is inputted at the network interface and every segment of the print job including the segment positions is identified. Then the print job characteristic including the quantity and quality, etc., is designated in every segment, and print job function constitution end is inputted at the network interface and a printer is identified in the network. Thus, the segments of the print job are accessed and distributed to the printer and the multi-segment print job is completed.
