There is provided a job control system for a document processing system
having a document processing subsystem in which a job, including a set of
image data and a job control ticket, is processed each time the job,
along with the job control ticket, is submitted to the document
processing system. The job control system includes an input source
including a user interface with a display, the user interface being used
to (a) program a first job control ticket with a first set of attributes,
the first job control ticket controlling a manner in which the job is to
be processed in a first job processing event, and (b) program a second
job control ticket with a second set of attributes, the second job
control ticket controlling a manner in which the job is to be processed
in a second job processing event; and a linking program for causing the
first and second job control tickets to be linked to the set of image
data so that a single submission of the job causes the job to be
processed in the first job processing event with the first job control
ticket and in the second job processing event with the second job control
ticket, wherein the job need not be submitted to the document processing
subsystem multiple times.
