How to Print in Batch Mode
Introduction
In Batch Mode, individual print jobs are sent from the RIP to the printer, and then combined on
the printer to create a batch job for flatbed printing. There are two types of batch mode jobs:
Composite and Collation.
Composite
All images are printed on a single piece of media without interruption. Composite batch mode
can be used to efficiently print more than three data layers and/or mix print modes for a batch
job. The first print job is printed, and then the gantry moves to the start position for the second
print job and prints the second print job, this continues until the last print job is printed and then
the gantry moves to the home position to complete the batch job.
Collation
Collation batch mode prints a set of individual print jobs on individual pieces of media, and then
repeats the number of copies of the set, as required. The gantry moves to the park position
between each print job, the media is changed, and media thickness confirmation and pushing the
start button is required to continue printing the next copy.
For example:
• If you want to collate 3 print jobs (J1,J2,J3) and print two 2 sets, the print order of the collated
batch job would be J1,J2,J3,J1,J2,J3.
• If you want to print 3 copies of the same job double-sided with different images front (F) and
back (B), the print order would be F,B,F,B,F,B.
