Recommend Algorithm

A printer or Cluster recommend is determined using the following algorithm.

1

Color Intent:

Printgroove POD Queue first determines which print-
ers and Clusters match the color requirements of the
print job. Both the Color Intent radio button selection
(B&W, Color, Mixed) and the High Chroma check box
(selected/On or not selected/Off) are included as
Printgroove POD Queue looks for Printers and Clus-
ters to support the job.
Printers or Clusters that do not match are eliminated
as possible recommends. The header rows of these
eliminated printers or Clusters turn gray.

NOTE: If a print job has [Mixed] selected as the Color
Intent, Printgroove POD Queue considers all Color
Split Clusters. If you have not created a Color Split
Cluster, no recommend is made.
NOTE: If a print job has Color selected as the Color In-
tent, it cannot be sent to a Page or Quantity cluster
since color printers cannot be clustered together. In
this situation, all Page and Quantity clusters will be
eliminated as possible recommends.

2

Paper Size, Paper Weight, Paper
Type:

Printgroove POD Queue considers the [Paper Size],
[Paper Weight], and [Paper Type] requirements of the
print job. If any of the remaining printers or Clusters do
not support these settings, the printer or Cluster is
eliminated as a possible recommend. The header
rows of these eliminated printers or Clusters turn gray.

3

Layout:

Printgroove POD Queue considers the remaining
printers and checks their Layout support. There are
four Layout options: [Single-Sided], [Double-Sided],
[Adhesive Binding] or [Booklet]. Printers or Clusters
that cannot process the selected [Layout] setting of
the print job are eliminated as possible recommends.
The header rows of these eliminated printers or Clus-
ters turn gray.

NOTE: If a print job has Booklet or Adhesive Binding
selected, it cannot be sent to a Color cluster since a
single print job is split between two printers. In this sit-
uation, all Color clusters will be eliminated as possible
recommends.

4

Job Ticket Constraint Check:

Printgroove POD Queue next conducts a constraint
check to see if the Job Ticket itself contains any set-
tings that create an internal conflict. If a Job Ticket
constraint is found, all printer and Cluster header rows
turn red and a recommend cannot be made until the
internal conflict is resolved.

NOTE: If a print job is only one page, it cannot be sent
to a Page cluster. In this situation, all Page clusters
will be eliminated as possible recommends.
NOTE: If a print job has 1Copy selected, it cannot be
sent to a Quantity cluster. In this situation, all Quantity
clusters will be eliminated as possible recommends.
