Chris,
I think what you are looking for is a way to spawn jobs from inside Crystal.. I looked and there doesn't appear to be any command that would allow Crystal to run itself for each subassembly. Even if it couldn't do this, I was contemplating if there was a way to feed printer control codes at the end of the job to issue a staple command. I haven't tried this, it simply hasn't come up as anyone's requirement.

Hi Karl,
You're almost there.
I have job 0001000 which has the Asm Lvl 0 (or -), Asm Lvl 1, Asm Lvl 2 and Asm Lvl 3.
Asm Lvl 0 is a different assembly to Asm Lvl 1 etc.
If I print at the minute it will print the whole job (Asm Lvl 0, 1, 2, and 3) in one go and staple them all together.
Thats fine ... except now I have to go to the printer, remove the staple (although I could turn the staple function off) split the pages up, restaple them and then distribute them to the necessary departments.
I was hoping for a way where in crystal, it will look and say, ok there are 4 asm lvl (0-3) I will print these as 4 separate jobs. Therefore when I go to the printer the 4 jobs are collated in 4 separate documents.
Hope this makes it a little clearer.
Thanks,
CHRIS

Chris,
Just trying to clarify in my mind ... so if you have three jobs A,B & C. And each one has asm seq 10, 20 & 30. You would like Crystal to send all seq 10 jobs to the printer , then asm seq 20 and lastly 30. Someone goes to the printer and picks up the three collated jobs and carries them to their respective departments?

Hi Karl,
That sorts one thing, but it still won't 'split' the traveller into x amount of print jobs (where x represents the number of Asm Seq for the job). Therefore on a 3 level job, 3 different print jobs would be sent to the printer and stapled in individual groups.
Thanks,
CHRIS

Chris,
Take a look at Report->Section Expert and check "new page" for the group representing the job asm. This would put them on on the top of a new page. You would still have to sort each job by asm number and then route them accordingly.

Hi All,
Here is an interesting one that I have been asked to do ....
Ok, we are using a printer with Staple functionality and duplex.
With out Job Travellers, if we have 3 Assembly Sequences, it will print all of these in one document and then staple them all together.
We need to be able to split the Traveller (i.e. remove the staple) and the staple only the relevant pages for that particular sequence together so we will end up with 3 collated piles. One pile for Asm Seq 0, one for Asm Seq1 etc.
I need to be able to tell crystal to treat each Asm Seq as a separate print job so in a way, it will send 3 separate files to the printer so they will be stapled in groups, rather than sending 1 larger file which then needs to be separated and restapled into groups.
It sounds easy enough, but I am struggling how to find a way to tell Crystal to send a separate job to the printer for each Asm Seq.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
FYI we are using Ricoh 2500 multifunctional machines.
Thanks,
