Patent ID: 8693059

Claim:
A method comprising: receiving a raw print job at a print controller; rasterizing the raw print job at the print controller to generate a rasterized print job comprising logical pages; formatting the logical pages of the rasterized print job into N-UP sheets; distributing the N-UP sheets to continuous form print engines such that a first print engine prints a first portion of the rasterized print job onto a first side of a continuous feed of paper and a second print engine prints a second portion of the rasterized print job onto a second side of the continuous feed of paper; receiving a changed parameter for the rasterized print job during printing to request a change in position for logical pages on the second side of the continuous feed, based on a physical change in dimensions of the continuous feed of paper between the first print engine and the second print engine; and reformatting the logical pages of the rasterized job into N-UP sheets, wherein N is greater than one, by repositioning the logical pages according to the changed parameter, thereby compensating for the physical change in dimensions of the continuous feed of paper as the continuous feed travels between the print engines.
