Embodiments described herein provide for dynamic storage of raster data at a rip spool while printing copies of a multiple copy print job. When printing multiple copies of a print job, some of the print data for the print job is rasterized once, spooled, and de-spooled multiple times for each copy of the print job. The rest of the print data for the print job is rasterized multiple times for each copy of the print job. In the embodiments described herein, additional storage space on the rip spool that becomes available while printing multiple copies of a print job is utilized to store additional raster data for the print job. This reduces the amount of the print data for the print job that is rasterized multiple times.

System and methods for storing preflight data of a print job based on page ranges. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an interface and a preflight system. The interface receives a print job and a job ticket. The preflight system processes the print job and the job ticket to determine multiple page ranges in the print job that have a similar print attribute throughout their page range. The preflight system also establishes a sheet object in memory for each page range.

System and methods for processing and printing print jobs with a single sheet job model job model. In one embodiment, a print controller includes an interface that receives a print job, and a processing unit that initiates a processing task for a group of pages in the print job. The print controller also includes a sheet controller that establishes a single sheet job model in memory for the processing task, and that iteratively inserts sheet properties of a set of pages of the group into the single sheet job model, provides the single sheet job model with the sheet properties to the processing task, and erases the sheet properties from the single sheet job model.

A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving print job data at a printing system, performing a first preflight of the print job data to collect job attribute data, detecting that one or more changes have been made to the print job data and performing a second preflight of the print job data using the job attribute data collected during the first preflight based on the one or more changes.

System and methods for reconstructing a suspended print job. In one embodiment, a print controller receives a print job, and initiates construction of a sheet based on logical pages of the print job. Print controller determines a sheet number for the sheet that identifies a page number of one or more logical pages related to the construction of the sheet, an offset for the sheet that identifies an order of the sheet with respect to other sheets that share the sheet number. Print controller also assigns a sheet identifier to the sheet that includes the sheet number and the offset, and receives the sheet identifier in response to a determination to resume the print job from a suspended state. Print controller initiates processing for resuming the print job from the sheet based on the sheet number and the offset in the sheet identifier.
