varioPRINT iX-series

The printer provides workflow profiles to manage your workload from the control panel.

A workflow profile determines the following:

Destination of document print jobs: the list of scheduled jobs or the list of waiting jobs.
Destination of DocBox jobs that are printed: the list of scheduled jobs or the list of waiting jobs.
Delivery of the prints in the high capacity stackers.
Offset stacking and the use of banner pages.
Tray linking.
Confirm the start of job.
Job printing: only first set or all sets.

Below you find a description of the standard workflow profiles.
