A method is provided for labeling a job in a printing system. The method includes the steps of partitioning the job into a first set with a plurality of electronic pages and a second set with a plurality of electronic pages; storing a first electronic label and a second electronic label in memory; and displaying, on a display screen, a print outline with a selected identifiable area, the selected identifiable area being positionable on the print outline for representing a relative size, location and orientation of an area on a print upon which an electronic label is to be printed. In practice a first location, at which a copy of the first electronic label is to be printed on a first selected print resulting from the printing of the plurality of electronic pages of the first set and a second location, at which a copy of the second electronic label is to be printed on a second selected print resulting from the printing of the plurality of electronic pages of the second set, are indicated with the print outline. In response to such indication, a first print set, with the copy of the first electronic label applied on the first selected print at the first location, and a second print set, with the copy of the second electronic label applied on the second selected print at the second location, are produced.

Method of applying electronically stored labels to a print job

A process of addressing sets in which a list of M addresses is stored in a memory of a printer and the printer is programmed to print one or more sets of N prints on print media. A print outline, with a selected identifiable area superimposed thereon, is displayed on an interactive display screen. In one example of operation, copies of the M addresses from the list are successively printed on N prints at the selected identifiable area on each of the N prints.
