The present invention concerns a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for managing print files associated with a job ticket describing a plurality of print files included in a print job. The print files are stored in a library within a server. When space usage in the library has exceeded a predetermined limit, print files are migrated from the library to a backup unit. For each file migrated from the first storage device to the second storage device, a stub file is generated which includes information on the migrated file. A computer is used to select a print file to include in the print job described in the job ticket. If the print file selected is stored in the backup unit and a stub file is stored in the library, then the server will access the stub file upon selection of the print file. The stub file in the library is replaced with the print file in the backup unit when the stub file is accessed. When the print job including the selected print file is submitted for printing, the print file is transmitted from the library to the printer.

A fluid chamber and method are disclosed for filtering or separating particles. The fluid chamber includes a wall extending between an inlet and outlet to form a fluid chamber interior. The interior converges from a position of maximum cross-sectional area toward the inlet. A groove or a step may be formed on an inner surface of the fluid chamber wall to improve particle separation within the fluid chamber.

A user is allowed to select desired options with respect to a print source file in a device independent manner. Selected options are stored in a device-independent way in a job ticket. When a printer is selected, the print application according to the invention reads the job ticket and a printer capability file (associated with the selected printer), converts the device-independent attributes from the job ticket into device specific printer commands from the capability file, and incorporates the printer commands into the printable format, as appropriate for the file.

A standard document viewing application, such as Adobe Acrobat Exchange, Microsoft Word or others, is used with plug in enhancements to display a document to be printed and visual feedback cues associated with user selected print job parameters. The job originator then has all the advantages of the viewing application when ticketing the job, such as thumbnail drag-and-drop and other manipulations, zoom, multiple-page display, multiple documents open simultaneously, document content editing and adjustment, bookmarks and other document navigation aids. In addition, the job originator can use a familiar interface to view documents without having to learn a new application.

An apparatus and method are disclosed for filtering or separating particles. The apparatus has a motor coupled to a centrifuge rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation. A fluid chamber rotates with the rotor. A substance is supplied to the inlet of the chamber. At least one of the motor and the substance supply are controlled to maintain a saturated fluidized bed of first particles within the fluid chamber while causing second particles to be retained in the chamber.

A print job is displayed as a sequence of pages. An operator is enabled to create artificial pages representing such elements as cover pages and preprinted sheets which are normally apart from the print job data file. The artificial pages are inserted into a display of the real pages defined by the print job data file or original document and are therefore displayed visually just as the other document pages are displayed. They can be manipulated just like other pages; that is, they can be moved, deleted, replaced and so on.
