Outputting Multiple Jobs at Once

This section explains how to group multiple jobs and thereby output them with a single operation.

  • Example 1

    Group together printing data A, printing data B, and printing data C and print three copies. Because the printed materials will be in the sequence A-B-C, A-B-C, and A-B-C, you can produce 3 copies of the print object.

  • Example 2

    By grouping white printing data, CMYK printing data, and gloss printing data and performing pullback printing with the white and CMYK printing data, you can obtain layered printing in the order of white > CMYK > gloss. In this case, for white printing data and CMYK printing data, select the check box for Cut Controls - Cutting Options - Return to Origin After Print, and then perform pullback printing. Depending on the model you are using, this setting may be disabled.

Unlike nested jobs, the layout of the print data cannot be changed for grouped jobs. Therefore, printing such as that described under Optimizing Media Usage is not possible, even if the print data is grouped.

Procedure
  1. Configure settings individually for each job as necessary.
  2. Select multiple jobs from the job list.
    To select multiple jobs, perform one of the following operations:
    • While holding down the Ctrl key, click the jobs one by one.
    • While holding down the Shift key, click the first job to select, and then click the last job to select.
  3. Perform one of the following operations to group the jobs.
    • Right-click in the window, and then click Multiple Job Grouping.
    • Click Job - Grouping.
  4. Select the generated job group and print it.
