Patent ID: 8634756

Claim:
A method of maintaining print quality during printing using an electrophotographic print engine comprising: a. processing image data, according to a print job having a job specification including providing rasterized color separated image data (RIP data) for one or more development stations, including a multi-development station and a primary imaging member; b. checking for any resource errors that indicate unavailable resources to enable processing of the image data according to the job specification; c. indicating resource errors with an indicator before creating an electrostatic latent image corresponding to a separation by image-wise exposing the primary imaging member; d. converting the electrostatic latent image into a visible image using the multi-development station; e. transferring the image to a receiver; and f. permanently fixing the image to the receiver; wherein when the job specification creates a conflict, a resource error message is created, the print job is paused providing resolution of the conflict, and the conflict is resolved by overprinting a simplex image.
