ABSTRACT:
In a document processing system, print jobs each including a plurality of sheets to be processed are received. Current operational capabilities of at least one processing unit of a document processing system are determined, which processing unit has a predetermined nominal operational latitude. A sequence of interleaved sheet processing of the sheets of each print job is scheduled based at least on determination of the operational capabilities of the processing unit. Short term average departures from the nominal operational latitude of the processing unit are reduced. An operational latitude of the document processing system is increased.
