ABSTRACT:
There is provided a technique for multi-mode printing of a job in a printing machine with a memory section communicating with a controller in which the controller determines whether the job is to be printed in a first print out time minimization mode or a job cost saving mode. In response to determining that the job is to be printed in the first print out time minimization mode, commencing production of the first print, with a print subsystem, about as soon as image data corresponding with a portion of the first print is buffered in the memory section so that the first print is delivered to the output area in a minimum amount of time; and, in response to determining that the job is to be printed in the job cost saving mode, commencing production, with the print subsystem, after image data corresponding with a selected plurality of prints has been buffered in the memory section so that cost attributable to dead cycle time in the print subsystem is minimized.
