Printing a business card job
Use the step-and-repeat imposition method to print multiple copies of the same business card on one press sheet.

2.From the File menu, select Import.
3.Import your business card file to the ProcessPrint virtual printer.
The file is imported to the Process queue with a Waiting status.
