Printing Pages of Different Sizes on Different Printers with O&K Print Router

Modern documents — especially technical manuals and drawings — often contain pages of different sizes: from standard A4 to larger formats like A3, A2, or even A1. Printing all pages on a single printer is often inconvenient or simply impossible — many office printers do not support large-format paper. So how can you automate the printing of mixed-format documents across multiple printers?

O&K Print Router — Efficient Multi-Printer Document Routing

O&K Print Router is a powerful software solution that enables:

  • Simultaneous printing of one document on multiple printers
  • Smart routing of pages to appropriate devices based on rules
  • Load balancing between printers to speed up large print jobs
  • Custom print scripts for advanced routing control
  • Automatic saving of all printed documents as PDF
  • Significant speed increase thanks to parallel print processing

Automatic Page Size-Based Printing

One of the most powerful features of O&K Print Router is its ability to print pages of different sizes on different printers. This is especially useful for PDF documents that include both standard A4 text and large-format drawings (A3, A2, A1).

Example: Routing Pages to Appropriate Printers Based on Paper Size

Let’s say you have a PDF file with A4 documentation, A3 schematics, and A1 posters. You can set up a simple script in O&K Print Router to automatically send each page to the printer that supports its size:

var printersA4 = VectorOfString(); 
printersA4.push_back("A4_SamplePrinter");
PrintPages(printersA4, "A4", 0, 1, 0); // Print all A4 pages

var printersA3 = VectorOfString(); 
printersA3.push_back("A3_SamplePrinter");
PrintPages(printersA3, "A3", 0, 1, 0); // Print all A3 pages

var printersA1 = VectorOfString(); 
printersA1.push_back("A1_Plotter");
PrintPages(printersA1, "A1", 0, 1, 0); // Print all A1 pages

When printing from Adobe Acrobat Reader, simply select O&K Print Router as the printer and enable the option “Choose paper source by PDF page size.”

Each page will automatically be sent to the printer that supports its paper size: A4 to your office printer, A3 to a wide-format device, and A1 to a plotter.
