A method for controlling a roll-fed printing assembly for printing images on a recording medium, the method comprising the steps of: controlling the printing assembly to execute a first print job containing a batch of nested individual jobs (81-i, 82-i, 83-i); detecting a pause state during the executing of the first print job; stopping the executing of the first print job in response to the detecting of the pause state; determining, for each individual job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) of the first print job, whether that individual job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) belongs to either: - a first group (81-i) of individual jobs that have already been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped, or to - a second group (82-i, 83-i) of individual jobs that have not yet been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped; creating a second print job by automatic re-nesting of at least the jobs of the second group (82-i, 83-i) based on at least one nesting criterion; and controlling the printing assembly to execute the second print job, characterized in that the determining whether each job of the first print job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) belongs to the first group (81-i) or to the second group (82-i, 83-i) is performed by: - determining at which stopping position, of a bitmap representing the first print job, the executing of the first print job was stopped; - identifying which of the jobs of the first print job were not completely comprised in the section of the bitmap preceding the determined stopping position; and - determining these identified jobs as belonging to the second group and the remaining jobs of the first print job as belonging to the first group. controlling the printing assembly to execute a first print job containing a batch of nested individual jobs (81-i, 82-i, 83-i); detecting a pause state during the executing of the first print job; stopping the executing of the first print job in response to the detecting of the pause state; determining, for each individual job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) of the first print job, whether that individual job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) belongs to either: - a first group (81-i) of individual jobs that have already been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped, or to - a second group (82-i, 83-i) of individual jobs that have not yet been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped; - a first group (81-i) of individual jobs that have already been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped, or to - a second group (82-i, 83-i) of individual jobs that have not yet been printed successfully when the executing of the first print job was stopped; creating a second print job by automatic re-nesting of at least the jobs of the second group (82-i, 83-i) based on at least one nesting criterion; and controlling the printing assembly to execute the second print job, characterized in that the determining whether each job of the first print job (81-i, 82-i, 83-i) belongs to the first group (81-i) or to the second group (82-i, 83-i) is performed by: - determining at which stopping position, of a bitmap representing the first print job, the executing of the first print job was stopped; - identifying which of the jobs of the first print job were not completely comprised in the section of the bitmap preceding the determined stopping position; and - determining these identified jobs as belonging to the second group and the remaining jobs of the first print job as belonging to the first group. - determining at which stopping position, of a bitmap representing the first print job, the executing of the first print job was stopped; - identifying which of the jobs of the first print job were not completely comprised in the section of the bitmap preceding the determined stopping position; and - determining these identified jobs as belonging to the second group and the remaining jobs of the first print job as belonging to the first group.
