Add Job with Page Range Dialog

The Add Job with Page Range dialog box works with IPDS output only. It allows the selection of a page range to print, from IPDS spool files.

It can be used to print a section from within the middle of the file, or it could be used to select a starting point and then print all the pages thereafter.

Job Name details section:

  • File Name: Paste the print job filename and folder into the entry box, or use the Browse button to browse for the print job.

  • Start Page: Select the page number at which to start printing.

  • Last Page: Select the ending page number.
    This defaults to the last page in the print job, but can be set to any page that follows the Start Page selection.

  • Preview button : Use this button to launch the Preview pane.
    The preview will display the current job, starting at the page selected as the Start Page in the page range.

  • Priority: Select the job printing priority.

Select Start Page details section: This section only appears when resubmitting a previously processed IPDS job. It allows you to set the starting page based upon the following criteria:

  • Start Page: The first page of the job. If the job was selected with a page range, this would be set to the beginning of that previously selected page range. Otherwise it will always be page 1.

  • Pages Committed: Select this to start from the last page Committed to the Printer.

  • Page Jammed Recovery: Select this to start from the Paper Jam Recovery page counter entry.

  • Pages Received: Select this to start from the Pages Received counter entry.

  • Operator View: Select this to start from the Operator View counter entry.

  • Pages Stacked: Select this to start from the Pages Stacked counter entry.

Tip: When an issue arises with the printer and you wish to restart the job from a recovery point, it would be best to first Preview pane the page at the selected page counter, to confirm that the selected page counter entry is accurate.

In reality, you might need to move the starting page entry backwards or forwards some few pages in order to cater for pages which have been printed, but destroyed in the process.
