Split job: Split job means that jobs will be split according to the criteria set in the
Page delimiter group (see below) and that an equal share of the job file will be sent
to each one of the selected printer queues. For a hundred page job, for example, if
two queues were selected, each one will get 50 pages.
l
Queue balancing: Queue balancing means that jobs will be split according to the
criteria set in the Page delimiter group (see below) and that a share of the job file
corresponding to each printer’s capacity (as set in the PlanetPress Workflow
Printer Queue Options dialog box—See "Print Using a Windows Driver" on
page577) will be sent to each one of the selected printer queues. If two queues
were selected, the first one sending jobs to a printer that prints 500 pages a minute,
and the second one sending jobs to a smaller printer printing 50 pages a minute, the
first queue will receive roughly ten times more pages than the second one.
l
Round robin: Round robin means that complete jobs will be sent in turn to each
one of the selected printer queues. For example, Queue_1 will get the first job,
Queue_2 will get the second job, and so forth.
