Keeping several printdoc commands as a single job in Windows

Postby bemsofpe » Tue Sep 25, 2007 7:06 pm

Hi,

I need to print multiple copies of a VPE document on a printer that has different colored paper in one tray (blue, yellow, red, blue, yellow, red, ...). So I should print 3 copies of page 1, then 3 copies of page 2, 3 copies of page 3, and so on...

I was thinking to just do a for page = 1 to num-pages, and print 3 copies of each page in the loop. This would however be multiple jobs in the printqueue. Is there a way to keep this as one printjob?

Or is there a better way to achieve this. We're using VPE 3.60 (will soon upgrade to VPE 4.00).

This is no problem with VPE. See the properties DevCopies and DevCollate.
