Hi, Mike….happy New Yera’s eve!

I cannot seem to find the correct settings to do what I want. I have a Canon Pro-1000.  I would like to print an unclog every 2 days…first (#1) with all colors plus PBK black (glossy paper, all colors +black) and just (#2)MBK black (plain paper, black).

I have 2 jobs defined as above, but cannot come up with a proper scheduling definition to do it….that is, print #1on day 1, #2 on day 3, #1 on day 5, etc.

Can you help?  Thanks.

Happy New Year!

Something is printing every 2 days and each of the 2 jobs print every 4 days alternating, so...

First think about the bus schedule: how often the bus has to stop at the bus stop.  Then answer is every 2 days because something is printing on all odd days (1,3,5,7,etc.).  So set the baseline schedule at the top to every 2 days.

Next look at the per-job cycle tuning at the bottom right of the schedule dialog.  Set both of your jobs to "Every 4 days" and then just set one of the two jobs to start (print on) "1st cycle" and the other to start (print on) "2nd cycle".

In summary:
- Set the baseline schedule on the top to every 2 days
- Set one job to print on the 1st cycle and then every 4 days
- Set the other job to print on the 2nd cycle and then every 4 days

Regards,
Mike

Related to auto printing, is there a way to print one image a day from a directory of images?

The unclog (purge sheets) are the only thing that can be scheduled.

Would be nice to add a feature like this. Pushing the print button and haivng a "print now" or "print on x date" dialogue would be very usefull.

To be honest, this doesn't sound like something anyone would use.  What would be the purpose?
