Abstract
A method of controlling a printing system that is arranged to process a sequence of media sheets and is operable with a finite number of different settings includes calculating a time to finish that will be needed for processing the sequence, scheduling a sequence of sheets for printing, defining a set of possible settings for processing the scheduled sequence, calculating a time to finish for each setting in the defined set, selecting the setting with the smallest time to finish, and processing the sequence with the selected setting.
