==PRINT JOB PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINT JOB PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18328604 titled 'PRINT JOB PROCESSING APPARATUS, PRINT JOB PROCESSING METHOD, IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a print job processing apparatus that arranges images of print jobs side by side on a sheet. It calculates the margin width of the sheet for already-arranged images and replaces a replaceable image with a newly-received print job image if it cannot fit within the calculated margin width. The replaceable image is an image already included in the arrangement, and the replacement ensures that the margin width remains positive but shorter than before.

* The apparatus processes print jobs for nesting printing.
* It arranges images of print jobs side by side on a sheet.
* It calculates the margin width of the sheet for already-arranged images.
* It replaces a replaceable image with a newly-received print job image if it cannot fit within the calculated margin width.
* The replaceable image is an image already included in the arrangement.
* The replacement ensures that the margin width remains positive but shorter than before.

==Potential Applications==
* Print job processing in various industries such as publishing, advertising, and packaging.
* Efficient use of paper and resources in printing operations.
* Streamlining the printing process for large-scale production.

==Problems Solved==
* Optimizing the arrangement of print job images on a sheet to minimize wasted space.
* Ensuring that newly-received print job images can be accommodated within the available margin width.
* Avoiding the need for manual adjustments or reprints when images cannot fit within the existing arrangement.

==Benefits==
* Increased efficiency in print job processing and production.
* Reduction in paper and resource wastage.
* Cost savings by minimizing the need for reprints or adjustments.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A print job processing apparatus that processes print jobs for nesting printing to arrange images of the received print jobs side by side in a width direction of a sheet, calculate a margin width of the sheet for already-arranged images and replace a replaceable image with an image of a newly-received print job in a case where the image of the newly-received print job is not arrangeable in a margin with the margin width calculated for the already-arranged images, in which the replaceable image is an image included in the already-arranged images, and is such an image that the margin width after replacement of the replaceable image with the image of the newly-received print job is equal to or longer than zero and is shorter than the margin width before the replacement.
