Abstract
Electronic printers, wherein multi-page documents to be printed are received as character code signals to be applied to a pattern generator for mapping and rasterization, electronically store the character code signals of a multi-page document for repeatedly presenting the stored signals to the pattern generator in the proper sequence to produce a plurality of collated printed sets. If the number of skip cycles required while the print engine waits for the pattern generator to finish mapping a particular page during the first printing of the document exceeds a threshold, the print engine will assume a shut down mode during mapping of that page on subsequent printings.
