Well that should have worked easier. I’m setting something up to run a stack of custom stock with a separator between groupings. I finally got the groupings, and the separators looking right and… derp. The printer won’t play nice. “Easy” would be to break the file per the group and send each chunk over. Unfortunately today’s chunks are roughly 2000 sheets in 1400 chunks. That isn’t going to go well. The likelihood that they come out in the same order is close to zero. I could stream them over, but that means I’m tying up a printer for an hour or two (hard to estimate when you’re adding on the start and stop of each chunk, and it kills the repeatability. RPD might be able to do it, but I still need to dig into a lot of how, especially as events consider so that I still don’t have PDF to PS turned on. I can contact everyone’s help desks, but that’s an exercise in futility given my SFTP joys.
I need to look into how to hand manipulate what the Ricoh 9110 is actually getting. Or, what if I chunk and then combine. Would it respect the group breaks then? I tried PDF-VT, but no dice for me.
Why is PDF-VT not working?
More importantly, why is their website so my phone unfriendly?
I could try outputting individual chunks and then smashing then together. Maybe.
