ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a printing system, and more particularly to a resource management using job tickets displayed on a user interface for controlling a printing system to generate documents received from one or more input units including a computer network, scanner, modem, etc. Since the operator or user wishes to offer a wide variety of printing options to customers and complete customer orders as quickly as possible, minimizing the interruption of print jobs is a very important priority. By replenishing supplies such as stock and toner in a timely fashion, the utilization of the printing systems can be maximized. In order for the operator to more efficiently utilize the printing system to perform a large number of print jobs with as few interruptions as possible, the present invention provides a user friendly navigational tool, which can provide the operator with information regarding the amount of printing supplies currently available in the printing system.
