Batching Jobs
The job-batching workflow combines jobs with similar attributes into a
single batch to enable the printer to print the jobs continuously without
pausing. This feature saves printing time, especially for a large number of
small jobs. Jobs that use paper of the same size and weight are suitable for
batching.
When a job enters the
Print Queue,
the Spire CXP8000 color server checks
whether the job is suitable for batching with the previous one:
•
A job that can be batched appears with the
running
status indicator.
The printer prints both jobs without pausing between them.
•
A job that cannot be batched with the previous one waits in the queue
and appears with the
waiting
status indicator. It is printed only when
the printer finishes the previous job and comes to a stop.
The Spire CXP8000 color server batches suitable jobs only if they are
consecutive in the queue. Two jobs are not batched if a job that is not
suitable comes between them in the queue.
The following types of jobs cannot be combined into one batch:
•
Collated jobs and uncollated jobs
•
Jobs that use different output trays
•
Jobs with different staple positions
The job batching option is active by default.
The Processing status area indicated the total number of pages for PDF jobs.
The number of pages is indicated for other PDL jobs only if the desktop
publishing application in which they were created supports this feature.
