Konica Minolta micropress release 6 User Manual

This dialog shows how the pages of a job are distributed to the PrintStations within the Virtual 

Engine. MicroPress uses the Electronic Collator to efficiently divide the print job into Job 

Stacks (a set of instructions for pages designated for a specific PrintStation to print). Use this 

dialog to interpret how the job was divided across the available PrintStations. The Part Info 

field displays where the PrintStation will pause when printing duplex jobs and whether even 

or odd pages will be printed, where separator sheets will be inserted, number of copies, and 

errors. If Job Parsing has not been licensed, the option will not be available and only one 

engine will be available. 

1 Click on a Printer to display the parsing information for that PrintStation. The Part Info 

field displays the job instructions.

2 Click OK. Note: 

In the event of a printing error, the Job Stack could be automatically “moved” to 

another PrintStation. 

See “System Errors” on page 37.

This dialog is used to combine groups of contiguous pages within a job. Once the groups of 

pages (Chapters) are added, you can apply options to them.
To set up Chapters for a job:

1 Double-click on the job in the PSM Virtual Engine window.
2 Select the Chapters tab.
3 Click Add to create a Chapter.
4 Change the suggested Chapter Name if necessary. Subsequent chapter names will 

be "Chapter" incremented by one.

5 Select the page range to include in the Chapter. One chapter may not contain a page 

that is also in another chapter. Click OK.

6 Repeat Steps 3-5 as needed.

Notes: For more Chapters features, see 

“Page Settings” on page 20 

and

 “Numbering…” on page 31.
