Tulostusarvot

Tulostusarvot refer to a set of specifications defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) for printing management. The term is a Finnish term that translates to "print queue" or "print ratings" but refers to a set of standards for managing print jobs and describing the characteristics of a print job.

According to the ISO 19792 standard, tulostusarvot contain a set of attributes that describe a print job, including its name, attributes, job ticket, and other metadata. This information allows print devices and other systems to manage the print job and make decisions about its processing and output. The attributes included in tulostusarvot can vary depending on the implementation, but they typically include the name and location of the intended destination, the attributes of the job (such as its priority and reprint permissions), and the job ticket, which may contain information about the printing system, the document format, and the printing device.

In practical terms, tulostusarvot play a critical role in ensuring that print jobs are correctly rendered and output on the intended device. They enable the print system to make informed decisions about the processing and output of the job, and ensure that the final printed output matches the intended appearance. The standardization of tulostusarvot through ISO 19792 helps streamline the printing process and reduce errors and delays in the printing workflow.

The development of tulostusarvot first happened in Finland but then has been adopted internationally to ensure the interoperability of different print systems and devices. The adoption of the standard ensures that different systems can communicate effectively and ensure that print jobs are processed efficiently.
