You can submit jobs to ganging in this window. This function is needed to gather parts of a job that have different print requirements to the rest of the job (e.g. covers with a different paper width) together with parts of other jobs that have the same requirements and to print them jointly on one plate (see also Gang jobs).
The data are filed as an xml file in the gang job pool of Prinect Signa Station.
Because pages or sheets of a job must be selected for submit to ganging, the procedure is as follows:
"All sheets" are submitted if there are sheets with assigned pages in the job. Nothing is submitted if no page is assigned.
The "pages of page lists" are submitted if there are page lists with assigned pages instead of sheets.
"All pages" of the job are submitted if there are no page lists with assigned pages. Nothing is submitted if the job has no pages.
