I'm struggling with a solution for a client's application and thought maybe someone has figured this out before. Here goes:
My client is a property management company that just leased a 2090. This client serves approximately 100 homeowners associations and provides each association with its own 3-ring binder with 12 tabbed sections in each binder. I convinced them to purchase the 2090 and bring these jobs in house and print these booklets on demand from the document server, rather than send them to an outside printer. Because some of the tab sections are subject to change and will have to be deleted and updated, we stored each tabbed section as an individual document with the user name being that of the homeowners association to which it belongs. My plan was to then store print settings for each tabbed section in the document server and select all 12 sections in order and let them print with the first page of each document being the tab for that section. By storing the sections as individual jobs, I could also allow for some sections to be duplexed and others to be single sided. My problem is this: When selecting multiple documents to be printed in order from the doc server, the 2090 uses the print settings from only the first document selected, therefore cancelling all of the settings applied in other document sections (2-12). The only solution I can find is to turn off the shift sort feature (easily done from the Output Customize Function) and print each of the 12 jobs individually, but this won't allow the user to print multiple booklets, so if the key operator needs 10 booklets she must stand at the touch screen and send 120 individual jobs from the doc server.
If anyone has any ideas as to how to work around this, I am all ears, but I realize that I might just be asking for too much ('cause that's the kind of guy I am!)
Thanks in advance for any help.
