Printing system and method for combining multiple print jobs into a single compound print job
Abstract:
A printing system includes a printer and at least one workstation operatively connected to the printer. The work station comprises at least one input/output device connecting the workstation to the printer, a controller connected to the at least one input/output device, and a memory connected to the controller. The workstation further includes an operating system, a first application, a second application, and a print driver, all residing on the memory. A first item of the first application and a second item of the second application are both receivable by the print driver. The print driver is selectively able to concatenate the first and second items into a compound print set, able to receive a selected number of copies to be printed of the compound print set entered through the at least one input/output device and able to submit the compound print set and the selected number of copies as a single print job to the printer. Finishing attributes are able to be applied to the compound print set for processing by the printer.
