Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for addressing conflicts when merging Job Definition Format (JDF) instructions. The system includes a memory that stores rules for prioritizing Job Definition Format (JDF) instructions. The system also includes a controller able to receive a print job and to identify multiple sets of JDF instructions for the print job. The controller is further able to generate a merged set of JDF instructions from the JDF instructions in each of the identified sets, and to identify conflicts within the merged set between JDF instructions that share page ranges with each other. The controller is also able to resolve the conflicts by altering JDF instructions based on the rules stored in memory.
