pagesets

A pageset is a term commonly used in the context of printing and document management to refer to a collection of pages that are intended to be printed together. This can include a single document, multiple documents, or even specific sections of documents. The concept of a pageset is crucial for organizing and controlling the printing process, especially in professional environments where complex print jobs are common.

Pagesets are often defined by user-defined criteria, such as a range of page numbers, specific document types, or even by metadata associated with the pages. For example, a user might create a pageset for all the "invoice" pages in a batch of documents, or a pageset for pages 1 through 5 of a particular report. This allows for selective printing and management of print queues.

In some software applications, particularly those related to desktop publishing or document creation, the term "pageset" might also refer to a saved configuration of page settings, such as page size, orientation, and margins. This allows users to quickly apply a consistent layout to new documents. However, the primary meaning of pageset relates to a grouping of actual pages for printing. The efficient management of pagesets can significantly improve workflow and reduce printing errors.
