ABSTRACT:
A data printing system has a controller which controls the printing of jobs from at least one input unit by a printer. When the controller receives a plurality of jobs, it establishes a sequential order of transmission and generates a display signal indicating the times at which the respective jobs will be printed. That display signal may then generate a display at the input unit(s) or at a display associated with the controller itself. In this way, users are given information about the times of printing. The sequence of printing of the jobs may be established on the basis of a priority associated with the jobs themselves and/or on the amount of material currently available for printing by the printer and/or on the maximum capacity of printed paper. Display may be associated with that amount and/or capacity.
