A digital copying and printing system associated with a computer network for prioritizing and executing copy and print jobs. Two central processing units share the prioritizing and interpreting of copy and print jobs, so that the copy and print jobs are performed in a highly efficient manner.

Architecture for a digital copier and printer for handling print jobs

A method for a sheet handling system where a controller communicates with a mailbox bin subsystem having a plurality of print receiving bins is provided. The plurality of bins are grouped into a first print receiving bin set, a second print receiving bin set and a third print receiving bin set with the first print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins, the second print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins and the third print receiving bin set including one or more print receiving bins. A first bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin of the first print receiving bin set, a second bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin in the second print receiving bin set and a third bin access designator is assigned to each print receiving bin in the third print receiving bin set--the first, second and third bin access designators correspond respectively with a first user class type, a second user class type and a third user class type. A request is communicated to and read by the controller. In response to such reading, the one or more produced prints are delivered to one or more print receiving bins in one or more of the first, second and third print receiving bin sets.
