A large PDF job that has a record structure in itself - for example a file with multiple personalised documents - can be converted into a variable data job via the job properties. This is helpful when you want to print only a part of the document (one or more records).
Variable data printing is used for direct marketing, advertising, and personalised letters. PRISMAprepare and other document authoring tools allow for building personalised documents. Variable data, for example names and addresses, are merged with fixed elements and saved as multi-record documents
Creation of personalised documentsThe printer supports PDF/VT level 1 and PPML for variable data printing. PDF/VT follows the latest PDF standards. When the printer receives a variable data job, it automatically distinguishes the record structure. Records are handled and printed as sets. Records do not necessarily contain the same number of pages. The number of pages per record depends on the length of the variable data in each personalised document.
The printing of a variable data job is like the printing of a normal job.
Print a proof.
Print a range of records.
Interrupt the printing after a certain record, and resume printing of the job later.
Change the job properties. Be aware that when you change the properties of a variable data job, these properties apply to all records of the job.
