Printing with mixed media Mixed media overview The IC-309m print controller enables you to print complex documents that contain paper of varying size, coating, weight, and so forth. There are different types of mixed media jobs. A mixed media job can include commands embedded in the file, such as dynamic page exeptions, or you can manually program the media print parameters for a range of pages in a job. Page exceptions are special pages within a job for which you assign different media print parameters. For example, you can assign different media for each chapter in a book. Inserts are blank pages of a selected media that are inserted in a job in a specified location. For example, you can add blank pages between sections within a brochure. Dynamic page exceptions are page exceptions or inserts that are embedded in the file. These files use setpagedevice keys to indicate that the printer must switch media during the printing of a job. When a job is RIPed, the IC-309m print controller identifies the keys or commands and maps them to the selected types of paper. The printer then uses those types of paper for the job. The IC-309m print controller supports dynamic page exceptions for the following file formats: ● PostScript ● VPS ● PPML The method that you choose to print these documents depends on the type of document that you want to print.
