I tried a job with 20,000 records/documents, 2-up, with the Stack Depth set to 100. It did not produce slip sheets or separate the job… I get one PDF with the sort order “corrupted” every 100 pieces.
I can understand needing to limit jobs to the capacity of a paper tray, but it seems like if that’s what you’re trying to do, you’d do that by setting a Separation. Or that setting a “Stack Depth” would automatically turn on Separations.
In fact, this job prints on roll stock and is cut inline as it rolls off the press. So no paper trays at all are involved. It’s, in effect, an “infinite” job. But because of the Stack Depth setting, with a max of 20K, that means I’ll need to separate my print jobs into 40K 2-up documents.
Last year the print run was 1.2 million.
