Printer group options

You can specify the following Load Balance, Cover Sheet/Merge, and Reroute on Error options when you set up a printer group.

Load Balance options

Fastest Single Engine

Prints the entire job to the fastest printer that meets the print specifications of the job.

Preferred Printer

Prints the entire job to the printer you specify.

Copy Split

Sends multiple copies of a single document to different printers, based on print specifications and the current print load on each printer. Copy Split requires a minimum of two color printers or two black-and-white printers.

Long Job Split

Splits a single copy of a document across different printers. Long Job Split requires a minimum of two color printers or two black-and-white printers.

Color Split

Splits all copies across two printers, with color content sent to the fastest color printer in the group, and black-and-white content sent to the fastest black-and-white printer in the group. Color Split requires a minimum of one color and one black-and-white printer.

Cover Sheet/Merge options

None

Does not generate cover sheets or insert inline pages.

Cover Sheet-Manual Merge

Automatically generates covers sheets with information about each portion of the job to aid in manual merging.

Bar Code-Offline Merge

Automatically generates cover sheets containing bar codes for collation by an offline merge finisher. This option is available only when Load Balance is set to Color Split.

No Cover Sheet-Inline Merge

Inserts preprinted pages from an inline insertion tray. This option is available only if a black-and-white printer in the group has an insertion tray, and if Load Balance is set to Color Split.

Reroute on Error parameters

Job Time Out

Specifies how long a job waits in the destination printer's Print queue when an error occurs, before being rerouted.

Total Reroutes

Specifies how many reroutes are allowed for a single job. When the maximum is reached, the job waits in the Print queue of the last printer until the error is cleared.
