Setting the number of copies for added documents

In Print Conductor, you have the option to set the number of copies for all documents added to the List of Documents.

The Copies setting, accessible on the Common tab in Print Conductor Settings, lets you determine the number of copies for files to be printed via Print Conductor.

Please note that setting the number of copies on the Common tab applies to all the files added to the List of Documents.

Set a specific number of copies for only the selected files in the List

If you need to set a specific number of copies for individual items in the List, you can do so by selecting one or several items, right-clicking them, and choosing Item settings... Here, you can configure the number of copies for one file or a group of selected files.

Note: The Copies setting specified on the Common tab applies to every document in the List of Documents. However, if you specify a different value for Copies under the Item settings, this value will override the common setting and apply to the selected file or files.

Note: When printing multiple copies of a document, you might want to adjust the Page collation. By default, the document pages are collated By documents. However, you can select a different type if necessary: By pages or As in printer.

Printing the List of Documents multiple times

Print Conductor allows you not only to print the same document multiple times but also to print the entire List of Documents several times. To print the List of Documents several times, adjust the Print the file list setting under Advanced tab → List of Documents settings.

Step 1: Add a List of Documents to be printed several times

Step 2: How many times do you want to print it?

Step 3: The program will print the documents in this order:

Please note that when printing the List of Documents several times, the program will consider the number of document copies if you set it via the Copies setting.

Note: When printing the List of Document one or several times, you may want to ensure that the print order is always correct. There's a chance that documents might get mixed by the print spooler, printer driver, Windows system or some other software. To avoid that, turn on Single print job mode.

To fine-tune your printing even more, you can also insert a cover page between printed documents (or their copies) to distinguish them easily. You can also change the type of page collation if it is necessary. See the related articles below.
