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 IC-304 print controller

checks whether the job is suitable for batching with the previous
one:

A job that can be batched appears with the

printing

status

indicator. The printer prints both jobs without pausing between
them. All jobs that are batched are grouped together and
highlighted.

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 IC-304 print controller 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 job batching option is active by default.

To deactivate job batching:

¾

In the Preferences window, select

Print Queue Manager
