What is a variable data job

Variable data printing is used for direct marketing, advertising, and personalized letters.
PRISMAprepare and other document authoring tools allow for building personalized documents.
Variable data, for example names and addresses, are merged with fixed elements and saved as
multi-record documents

[246] Creation of personalized documents

The printer supports PDF/VT level 1 and PPML for variable data printing. PDF/VT follows the latest
PDF standards. When the printer receives a variable data job, it automatically distinguishes the
record structure. Records are handled and printed as sets. Records do not necessarily contain the
same number of pages. The number of pages per record depends on the length of the variable
data in each personalized document.

The printing of a variable data job is like the printing of a normal job.
• Print a proof.
• Print a range of records.
• Interrupt the printing after a certain record, and resume printing of the job later.
• Change the settings of the job. Be aware that when you change the settings of a variable data

job, the settings apply to all records of the job.

Convert a job to a variable data job

A large PDF job that has a record structure in itself—for example a file with multiple personalized
documents—can be converted into a variable data job via the job properties. This is helpful when
you want to print only a part of the document (one or more records).

[247] Variable data job

1. Select the job you want to convert.
2. Touch [Edit], or double tap the job.
3. Use the [Job type] function to select [Variable data].
