Patent ID: 8919768

Claim:
A method for creating at least one first sheet job offset comprising: determining whether a first sheet of a print job is ready to be outputted from a printing apparatus after the print job is determined to be queued in a printing spool; controlling an outputting mechanism to accelerate the first sheet of the print job out of the printing apparatus, wherein controlling the outputting mechanism to accelerate the first sheet of the print job out of the printing apparatus includes controlling one or more air nozzles to increase air flow output for the first sheet of the print job; and controlling the outputting mechanism to decelerate each remaining sheet of the print job out of the printing apparatus, wherein accelerating the first sheet of the print job and decelerating each remaining sheet of the print job causes an offset of the first sheet of the print job from each remaining sheet of the print job after output from the printing apparatus, wherein controlling the outputting mechanism to decelerate each remaining sheet of the print job out of the printing apparatus includes controlling the one or more air nozzles to decrease air flow output for each remaining sheet of the print job.
