Up next in the import process after Printers are Printer Jobs.  If there are no Printer Jobs in the xml file, then the process will skip to the next MMPI object type detected in the file.  Think of Printer Jobs as pre-filled out print commands where you save some base print parameters and store the job so it can be recalled later.  Creation of a Printer Job is required when using some of MMPIs other features such as Print Monitor and FormWeaver.




  • The Back button takes you one screen back in the import process.
  • The View Printer Jobs Selected for Import button will show a list of Printer Jobs that have already been "marked" for import by having had a check mark placed next to them and the Mark for Import button pressed.
  • The Override All button will select all check boxes in the rightmost Override column.  Having override selected is necessary if you are importing over existing Printer Jobs with the same name.  This makes it so the imported Printer Job will overwrite any existing Printer Job with the same name.
  • The Override None button will clear out all check boxes in the rightmost Override column. 
  • The Mark for Import button will select the Printer Jobs that have a check mark to the left of them and prepare them for importing.  You will stay on the present screen allowing you to select more Printer Jobs for import.
  • The Mark and Next button will select the Printer Jobs that have a check next to them, prepare them for importing and will immediately take you to the next MMPI object screen for importing.
  • The Next button will skip over the current MMPI object type without importing anything and take you to the next object screen for importing.



You can filter the list by Job Group by choosing a specific group in the list at the top. 



Importing all Printer Jobs with overwrite:


If you wish to import every Printer Job in the list, you can place a check mark at the very top of the list in the header portion.  To overwrite any existing Printer Job with the same name, you must choose Override All to select Override for every Printer Job listed.



Example showing "Select All" check mark at top of list with Override selected for each:




Individual importing with selective override and rename:


If there are existing Printer Jobs with the same name and you wish to overwrite them, you must use the Edit Record button and choose the Override option.  If you want to import a Printer Job but keep the existing Printer Job with the same name, you must rename the imported Printer Job by using the Edit Record button to change the name.




Click the Update button and you will see the new name listed in the table.



Once you have every Printer Job checked that you want to import, along with any necessary overrides and/or renaming, click Mark and Next to be taken to a list of Print Monitors for import.


Proceed to Importing Print Monitors.
