Abstract
A printing system having an electronic sub system loaded with control software which controls scanning, image storing and the printing operations of the printing system. The control software schedules the bandwidth of disk storage and swaps images from a storage disk to a memory so that a desired image will be in memory when the printing of that image is requested. The system utilizes resource management and/or memory management software to realize improved job turn around time and to reduce pitch skips.
