Patent ID: 8274688

Claim:
A system for determining print capacity, the system comprising: a processor; and a storage medium in operable communication with the processor, wherein the storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions for: receiving a maximum job speed for a document processing device, receiving information pertaining to a plurality of jobs performed by the document processing device, wherein the information for each job comprises a job speed and a job size, identifying, via the processor, a set of first jobs and a set of second jobs from the plurality of jobs, wherein each first job has a job speed greater than a percentage of the maximum job speed, and wherein each second job has a job speed less than the percentage of the maximum job speed, determining, via the processor, a job size threshold based on the job sizes for the first jobs and the job sizes for the second jobs, in response to determining the job size threshold, obtaining, via the processor, a linear function based on one or more second jobs, wherein the linear function comprises a function of job speed based on job size; repeating the receiving a maximum job speed, receiving information, identifying, determining, and obtaining operations for one or more document processing devices in a document processing environment, determining, via the processor, a device capacity function for each document processing device based on the obtained linear function and the job size threshold for the document processing device, and identifying one or more modifications to the document processing environment based on the device capacity functions.
