Zusammenfassung:A printing system includes a digital front end (DFE) system connected to a plurality of printing devices. The DFE system manages printing operations to the plurality of printing devices. The DFE system also includes a printing device connectivity manager to manage connections with the printing devices. Printing connectivity modules are installed at the printing device connectivity manager using application programming interfaces (APIs) that are loaded at the creation of the printing connectivity modules. The DFE system also includes a display device connectivity manager to manage connections with display devices using display connectivity modules and display connectivity APIs. The DFE system also includes a storage connectivity manager to manage data storage and storage devices using storage connectivity modules and storage connectivity APIs.
