• Efforts to manually sort different sheets printed with different conditions is no longer necessary, and productivity is enhanced in the large volume print works such as education materials and manuals. Note: Because post‐printing process is specific to each job, it is not possible to apply different post‐print processing to each job in the group.
■ Application of “Build Job”. (example)
A seminar is held by three speakers inviting 100 participants. Four documents as follows will be delivered to each participant. Documents; ①Speaker‐1, fine name = 1.pdf
⇒ A4 double‐sided x 1sh
②Speaker‐2 , fine name = 2.doc ⇒ A4 double‐sided x 2sh + stapling at 2 positions
③Speaker‐3 , fine name = 3.pdf ⇒ A4 single‐sided x 10sh + stapling at 1 position
④Questionnaire, fine name = 4.doc ⇒ A4 single‐sided x 1sh
Normal preparation;
Either print and manually prepare 100 sets each of ①～④ or deliver each document separately to all of 100 participants.
Using “Build Job” mode; Automatically prints a complete set of ①～④ for 100 participants without the need of manual setting.
Just deliver the complete set that is directly output from the machine to each of 100 participants.

Sales Talk
Even when a request is made for using different paper or different delivery schedule for the job just before the job is processed, it can be effectively dealt with using the “Build Job” function.
Example: It was scheduled to print three jobs using Paper‐A and five jobs using paper‐B. A call came just before the print job starts, requesting to change the paper to Paper‐A for one job that was originally to be printed with Paper‐B. The operator immediately changed the grouping and processed the job groups so that the delivery time for each job was kept as requested.
