MODIFICATION OF ADVANCED FUNCTION PRESENTATION (AFP) PRINT JOBS

Combining multiple pages of an AFP print job into a single AFP output page that can be more efficiently printed is described. A print job is received, where pages in the print job begin with a first electronic marker indicative of a beginning of the page and ends with a second electronic marker indicative of an end of the page. A first page and a second page in the print job are identified to combine together into an output page, and an amount of offset for page contents of the second page is determined. The page contents of the second page are shifted by the amount of the offset. The first electronic marker is removed from the first page, the second electronic marker is removed from the second page, and page contents of the first page and shifted page contents of the second page are combined together into the output page. The output page is transmitted to a printer for printing.
