ABSTRACT:
An image forming device comprises an input for receiving a print job data stream; a memory coupled to the input for storing at least a portion of the print job data stream; and, detection apparatus coupled to the memory for detecting indicia indicative of a banner page within the at least a portion of the print job data stream. The indicia includes, selectively, a job boundary, a printer description language used, a page size, complexity of a page, a page closing, a differentiation of print settings as between consecutive pages, or any combination thereof. The image forming device further includes management apparatus coupled to the detection apparatus for managing usage of the banner page in the image forming device, including controlling resolution of the banner page, controlling inclusion/exclusion of the banner page in finishing operations, controlling output quantity of the banner page, and controlling input and output tray selection for the banner page. Controlling the resolution of the banner page includes optimizing its resolution such that throughput of multiple print jobs in the image forming device is enhanced.
