Batch Printing

While single job printing may show up minor

productivity advantages between devices

and stacking up a selection of arbitrary print

files and releasing them all at once may give

an impression of processing ability, it is the

end user who will usually be the greatest factor in the

time from “‘print required” to “print in hand”.

One such example of where a typical print function can

see enormous set up differences from device to device is

in the area surrounding batch print workflow.

In batch printing, a user is faced with multiple files which

need to be treated as a single entity. There are two main

scenarios for this:

• Multiple authors contributing to a single document

• Collated sets comprised of multiple individual

documents.

In the first instance, the administrator, editor, or project

leader may need to combine together a selection of

documents that may have been created in a variety of file

types in order to apply a common finishing attribute. They

may also want to incorporate page numbering,

watermarking, or other formatting options to the overall

document.

In the second instance, the marketing executive,

construction project coordinator, school teacher, or

training supervisor tasked with compiling folders of

information may want entire sets stacked ready for

insertion into a folder or courier envelope ready for

distribution. They may want separate finishing, different

media supplies, or print attributes on a document by

document basis so that each lesson plan or press release

is stapled individually, or building plans are in one color,

plumbing plans in another and electrical plans in another.

These workflow scenarios put MFPs and printers to task

as they demand more than just the ability to spool, RIP,

and print a file as fast as possible. Some manufacturers

now include a desktop utility that may offer at least some

of the answers to the above scenarios.

The degree to which each situation is mastered varies

enormously from manufacturer to manufacturer, with

some offering no solution, some a partial solution, and

others a total solution. In environments where these

workflows are commonplace, these capabilities can be

difference between device acceptance and device return.

Batch Printing via Savin’s RPCS Driver

Savin’s batch printing utility feature, part of its RPCS driver,

is activated by sending jobs using the Send to Job Binding

option under Job Type. Jobs are sent to a repository called

Job Binder that is accessed using the free DeskTop Binder

utility that comes with the device.

Multiple file types can be combined to create a single

document. Within the print function, users are asked if they

want to treat the various document components as a single

job or as individual jobs. Below, we specified Each

Document, which treats each document individually.

Users can sent documents to any RPCS-driven device and

select printing attributes as available. However, when we

specified collated multiple sets, each document was printed

the total number of times before moving on to the next

document in the batch.
