Abstract

A print job includes instructions to print markings and perform finishing operations on a first type of media. Systems and methods determine print job characteristics of the print job based on data within the print job, and select a different type of media on which banner pages will be printed (e.g., “second types of media” that is different from the first type of media used for the print job pages). The banner pages contain human and/or computer readable instructions to perform the finishing operations. The media type used for the “second type of media” is based on the print job characteristics of the print job. The print markings are printed on the first type of media, and the banner pages are printed on the second type of media.
