Hello,
I’d like to automate the printing of some PDF documents for a 2-leaf folder. I need to be able to apply different print settings to different pages and print them sequentially. This is to facilitate faster creation of these folders. For example, I might need to print the following documents:
Document 1: One sided, standard paper (tray 1)
Document 2: Duplexed, stapled, standard paper (tray 1)
Document 3: Duplexed, high-quality, coated paper (tray 2)
Document 4: Duplexed, standard paper, not stapled (tray 1)
I would then print through this sequence X number of times.
Is this possible via software/scripting? And is it possible to change the Dell-specific printer settings?
Thanks in advance.

You can use a batch script and the printParams() object to send a series of page subsets to a printer and toggle the duplex mode, but there's no access to hardware-specific features of a printer driver so you won't be able to select the tray, alter quality or turn on stapling.

Are there, per chance, any software utilities on the market that could handle this? Just seems like something that print shops and fulfillment companies would frequently want to do.
