Using Dual Roll Printing with Nested Jobs

Dual roll printing allows you to print multiple jobs on different rolls of media at the same time. You can set different Job Properties for each job in a nested set and then arrange each job on the appropriate roll of media. See Setting Job Properties for Nested Jobs for more information.

Only printers that can be loaded with two rolls of media support Dual roll printing.

To set up nested jobs for Dual Roll printing:

1. Open the Job Properties for the nested set.
2. From the Layout tab, check Dual Roll printing.
3. Click the Edit button, adjust the following parameters and then click OK:

   Edit	Click this button to edit settings for Dual Roll Printing.
   	Left roll	The width of the roll loaded on the left side of the printer.
   	Gap	The distance between the rolls mounted on printer.
   	Right roll	The width of the roll loaded on the right side of the printer.

   The Media Width field is the sum of each roll's width. The distance between the rolls is not calculated in Media Width. Please see Layout Tab for more information.

4. Set Job Properties for each job. See Setting Job Properties for Nested Jobs for more information.
5. Drag the jobs to the appropriate rolls in the Preview Pane.

   If you edit the Job Properties for any job, all jobs will re-nest.
