A printer includes a media storage device, a print engine and a media supply system for supplying print media from the media storage device to the print engine. The printer is arranged to print media-related information onto media that are left over in the media storage device after a print process. The media storage device includes a tray arranged for accommodating cut media sheets and having an auxiliary printer for printing the media-related information onto a sheet in the tray.

Printer with media storage device

The invention relates to a printing system for printing a print job on a receiving material with receiving material characteristics according to a print job ticket. The printing system comprises a print engine for providing marking material with marking material characteristics to the receiving material in order to form at least one image defined by the print job and a controller configured to control the print engine and to provide a first estimation of an amount of receiving material needed for a print job based on the print job ticket. A digital outcome storage is configured to store first waste amounts of receiving material during printing errors of print jobs. The controller is configured to retrieve from the digital outcome storage first waste amounts of receiving material with the same receiving material characteristics as of the print job and to use the retrieved first waste amounts of receiving material for increasing of the first estimation of the amount of receiving material needed by the print job.

Method of estimating a usage of printing materials for print jobs

A method for scheduling operator actions for a print job to be printed in a print-while-rip mode includes assuming at least one part of a print job duration which is unknown due to missing information, establishing at least one operator action during the at least one second part of the print job duration based on a first part of the print job duration, displaying a time bar for the print job on the user interface, the time bar starting from the established start time and including a first time bar part corresponding to and proportional to the first part of the print job duration and at least one second time bar part corresponding to the at least one second part of the print job duration, and for each established operation action, displaying a digital object representing the operator action at the corresponding moment in time on the second time bar part.
