    Abstract: An electronic image processing apparatus has a controller and a plurality of resources in an arbitrary configuration. Each of the resources includes an associated processor storing data related to operational constraints of the associated resource and a bus interconnects the processors to the controller for directing the operation of the resources. The controller is adapted to operate independent of a particular configuration of the plurality of resources by receiving from each of the processors the data related to the operational constraints of each associated resource and interrogating each of the processors to determine the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources. The controller then responds to the data related to the operational constraints of each of the processors and to the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources to dynamically configure the image processing apparatus to operate in accordance with the the operational constraints of each of the processors and to the geometrical relationship of the interconnection of the resources.

    Abstract: A system is provided to allow for automated scheduling and completion of print jobs in a printing machine. A generic system for describing functionality of various modules (B) forming a print engine is described. Such a module description is provided for each of a plurality of subassemblies which form the printing machine. A component communicates description information about itself to a scheduling unit (42) once it is integrated into a complete printing machine. The scheduling unit (42), in turn, analyzes all functions available from various subassemblies comprising the machine. This analysis returns data representative of all available functions to the printing machines. Upon receipt of user input on one or more printing jobs, the scheduler (42) then correlates the user information with the available properties of the printing machine to schedule an efficient completing of all printing tasks.

    Abstract: The method entails converting a job requirement into an assembly tree, that is a relationship of images, copy sheets, and compilations of copy sheets representing the job requirement. The data related to the operational capabilities of each associated module is received from each of the processors interrogating each of the processors to determine the interconnection of each of the modules to other modules. That result in responding to the data related to the operational capabilities of each of the modules, the interconnection of the modules, and to the assembly tree relationship of images, copy sheets. Compilations of copy sheets represent the job requirement for providing a production tree relationship of the operational capabilities of the modules including timing relationships for operating the image processing apparatus.
