Abstract
A method of scheduling a job in an imaging system includes detecting criteria of the job, determining applicable constraints based upon one or more of the criteria, inputs entered into the imaging system and/or operating the imaging system to output the job such that the constraints are satisfied, thereby maximizing output. Each job includes a plurality of images to be processed by the imaging system, which includes at least one imaging device. As a result, the scheduling of jobs is carried out in an effective and efficient manner.
