摘要

In a method for printing a file on sheets with register pages inserted between them, the file containing register page file parameters describing the register pages, register page print parameters that describe a stack of register pages at an input. In the event that, upon printing of the file, it is established using the register page file parameters that a register page is to be processed, the register page file parameters describing the register page to be printed are compared with the register page print parameters in order to establish whether the next register page to be drawn from the input stack coincides with the register page to be processed. In the event that this is not the case, drawing at least one or more register pages from the input stack and supplying one or more of them to an output until a register page coinciding with the register page to be printed is drawn from the input stack, and then processing and supplying that register page to the output.
