Abstract: A computer peripheral device is prevented from being in power save mode by either forcing the peripheral device out of power save mode or preventing the peripheral device from entering power save mode. A timing mechanism tracks time. The timing mechanism either tracks the time of day, the day of the week, an elapsed time, or a combination of these times. The time tracked by the timing mechanism is compared to a pre-set condition stored in a storage device. If the time meets the pre-set condition, the computer peripheral device is prevented from being in power save mode. The computer peripheral device is prevented from being in power save mode by either transmitting a job to the peripheral device for processing, accessing the control means of the peripheral device and terminating the power save mode, or temporarily disabling the power save mode for the peripheral device.

Abstract: An output accumulation sequence of a destination of the print job is discovered and if the output accumulation sequence of the destination is back of second sheet to front of first sheet, the sheets of the print job are sequenced in reverse order. The output accumulation sequence of the destination is discovered either by choosing the output accumulation sequence or ascertaining the destination and discovering, from the destination, the output accumulation sequence of the destination. The output accumulation sequence of the destination is discovered from the destination by either querying the destination or searching an index for a record of the destination and discovering the output accumulation sequence from the record of the destination.
