The Mixed media feature defines a print job’s chapter
divisions and prints certain pages, or ranges of pages, on varying media types.
For example, you can add blank pages or specify
duplex pages within a single print job. You can also use Mixed media to
specify chapter-based finishing options, which treat each chapter as a separate finishing or
duplexing set.
Note: You can save up to 100 different settings for
the Selection List.
-
Open Printing preferences. (See Open Printing
preferences.)
- Click the Media icon.
-
Expand the Mixed media
option, and select from the following options:
Note: If you use the Chapter Start Page(s), Define
Cover, or Define Each Chapter
As A Finishing Set, all media specified in the paper size
per chapter must share the same dimensions.
-
Chapter Start
Page(s) - Designates chapter divisions, using
comma-separated values (for example: 4,9,17) to designate the start of
each new chapter. It is not necessary to type the first page; page
numbers refer to the numbering of the original document.
-
Define Each Chapter
As A Separate Finishing Set - Applies finishing options (such as stapling) or
double-sided printing to each chapter created with the Chapter Start Page(s) option.
For double-sided printing, this option forces each starting page to use a right-side page, adding a
preceding left-sided blank, if necessary.
-
Define
Cover - Assigns page attributes to front and back cover pages.
Note: This option is available if the Fiery server
supports it.
-
New Page
Range - Assigns page attributes to specific pages, or ranges of pages. After you set
page attributes, click Add Definition to save your
settings.
-
New
Insert - Assigns page attributes to blank pages. After
you set page attributes, click Insert, and then click Close to return to the Mixed
media view.
For information about printing jobs
with different media, see Printing, which is
part of the user documentation set.
