Abstract
A method of printing a job in either a first mode or a second mode, to produce a set of prints from a set of print-related information transmitted to a print file, is provided. In the first mode, which occurs when the set of print-related information is less than a preselected quantity, a portion of the print file is filled with the set of print-related information and the set of print-related information is read with a marker for producing the set of prints. In the second mode, which occurs when the set of print-related information is greater than the preselected quantity, the steps of filling a portion of the print file with a subset of the set of print-related information and reading the subset with the marker are repeated until the set of print-related information is read completely.
