Abstract

A printing system includes an inserter, a buffer, a splitter, and a plurality of media paths each feeding a meter. Another printing system may include an inserter, a buffer, a splitter, a plurality of media paths each feeding a meter, and a system for intelligently recombining the printed materials.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for printing comprising: 
 an inserter;    a buffer;    a splitter;    a plurality of media paths; and    a plurality of meters fed by the media paths, wherein the inserter, buffer, splitter, meters, and media paths are controlled to maximize throughput.    
   
   
       2 . A printing system comprising: 
 an inserter;    a buffer;    a splitter;    a plurality of media paths;    a plurality of meters fed by the media paths; and    a sorter located proximate the ends of the media paths for intelligently recombining, separating, or sorting printed material,    wherein the inserter, buffer, splitter, meters, media paths and sorter are controlled to maximize throughput.
