Abstract
This invention relates to a method and system for partitioning multiple media handling jobs in an input tray/automatic document feeder (ADF) and performing different functions for each job. Such structures of this type, generally, allow for partitioning multiple media handling jobs. For example, a user arrives at a multi-functional product (MFP) with several documents. The user wishes to fax a document, make copies of another document, and digitally transmit and archive a third document. This invention would enable the user to load all three documents into the ADF and program the MFP to perform the desired tasks on the different documents even if the documents contained differently sized and shaped media.
