Abstract:
Embodiments receive a printing command to print a document file. The document file comprises a plurality of document pages, and each of the document pages comprises markings (e.g., textural and/or graphical elements). The embodiments automatically combine a plurality of the document pages on at least one side of a printing sheet (both sides for duplex printing). The embodiments also automatically insert blank pages (blank cells) adjacent each of the document pages on the printing sheet. Thus, with embodiments herein a blank page or cell automatically appears next to each of the document pages on the printing sheet. Then, the embodiments herein can automatically perform the simplex or duplex printing of the printing sheet.
