Convert a job to a variable data job

If you print a large document that has the structure of a variable data document, you can instruct the print system to handle this job as a variable data job.

To indicate how the job is composed, you enter either the number of records or the pages per record. The job is split into records.

You can also convert jobs to variable data jobs with an automated workflow.
