Abstract
There is provided a method for producing multiple copies of a set of electronic ordered stock from at least two discrete print media trays. The method includes the step of programming an ordered stock profile in which the set of electronic ordered stock is provided with at least two sequentially ordered electronic pages and each electronic page in the set corresponds with a set of print media properties, wherein the set of print media properties for each electronic page differs from the set of print media properties for any one of the other electronic pages in the set of electronic ordered stock. The method further includes the step of mapping the two sequentially ordered electronic pages of the set of electronic ordered stock to the at least two discrete print media trays so that each copy of the set of electronic ordered stock is produced by delivering a print media sheet from a first one of the at least two discrete print media trays to a marking engine at a first time, a print media sheet from a second one of the at least two discrete print media trays to the marking engine at a second time, wherein the second time is subsequent to the first.
