When Should I Create the Print Bundles?

This is one of the most important decisions you will have to make during this phase. The decision depends on two main factors:

• Number of volumes of printed output you produce in relation to your printer resources.
• Time frames involved between the creation of reports and their dispatch deadlines.

Using printing mission parameters, you can specify time and event dependency information for creating print bundles. These parameters can be used to control the exact point at which a printing mission should be executed.

Occasions may arise (due to resource constraints) where you cannot meet a dispatch deadline if you wait until all of a recipient's reports are created before you start to print them. This may be caused by large print volumes or batch jobs executing close to report dispatch times. In these cases, you may have to perform two bundling runs for the same recipient in order to meet the dispatch deadline, for example, one that prints the bulk of reports that have been created for a user so far, and one that creates a second bundle for the user's reports that are produced later.
