Abstract:
1. A method of printing, comprising: assigning a first set of image performance parameters from a plurality of image performance parameters to an associated image job; said first set of image performance parameters comprises a first image quality; communicating said initially assigned said first set of image performance parameters of said associated image job to an image marking engine; determining a queue of other image jobs assigned to said image marking engine; wherein said other image jobs are queued before said associated image job; assigning a second set of image performance parameters to a selected portion of said associated image job; said second set of image performance parameters comprises a second image quality; said second set of image performance parameters alter said first set of image performance parameters; said altering of said first set of image performance parameters to said second set of image performance parameters reduces a print duration to complete printing of said associated image job; wherein said second image quality is less than said first image quality; wherein said altering further includes reordering said queue of other image jobs and said associated image job; and, wherein said reordering includes immediately stopping printing of a current image job and starting said associated image job.
