| 20130077112 | AUTOMATIC AGGREGATION OF MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS INTO A COMMON PROCESSING JOB - As set forth herein, methods and systems for automatic grouping of individual print jobs into a common job at a multifunction device. Received jobs stored in a job processing queue are analyzed to determine the filenames, submission times, and other related identification data. Those jobs sharing a common naming convention, submission time interval, or other common identifiers, are automatically grouped into a single, common job. Upon login, the user is able to approve or disapprove the grouping. For an approved grouping, the user is able to select finishing options via the user interface of the multifunction device to be applied to the common job. The common job, in which the finishing options have been propagated through each formerly individual job, is then output as if it were a single job by the multifunction device. | 03-28-2013 |
