Abstract
In a printing apparatus having a rotatable imaging member and means for performing a selected one of a plurality of operations on a portion of the rotatable imaging member, a set of metaphorical bricks are used to schedule operations. For an operation of a first type, a first brick is scheduled, the first brick defining a time duration associated with the operation, and defining a first portion having a first height and a second portion having a second height. For an operation of a second type, a second brick is scheduled, the second brick defining at least one height and a time duration associated with the operation. A combined height of bricks scheduled over time is monitored.
