How a Korean School Cut All-Day Printing to Just 5 Minutes
At a middle school in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, the administrative office turns into a printing factory every semester. Parent newsletters, exam papers, worksheets, official notices — over 100 files need to be printed daily. And the staff was stuck doing it one file at a time, all day long.
The Problem: Different File Formats, All-Day Printing
Printing at Korean schools is uniquely painful because of mixed file formats. Official documents from the education office arrive as HWP files (Korea's standard word processor format). External materials come as PDFs. Teacher-created worksheets are a mix of HWP, Word, and sometimes PowerPoint.
HWP files required opening Hancom Office — a heavyweight app that takes time to load each time
PDF files needed Adobe Reader or a web browser to open and print separately
Word files required yet another application switch
Every single file: open → set print options → print → close → repeat
During exam periods, printing grade-level and subject-specific tests took half the day
Paper jams or printer errors meant losing track and starting from scratch
"During exam season, we literally spent the entire day just printing. Open a file, print, close, open the next one. It sounds simple, but when you have over 100 files, there is no time even for lunch."
Why Existing Solutions Did Not Work
The staff had tried to find solutions before, but every tool had a critical gap. Most batch printing software only supported PDF files. None of them could handle HWP — the one format Korean schools use most.
Windows built-in multi-file printing — scrambles the order and ignores HWP files
Online PDF merge sites — only accept PDFs, so HWP files need conversion first, doubling the work
Paid software — school budgets rarely cover software licenses
Hancom Office batch print — only handles HWP files, leaving PDFs and Word documents behind
The Turning Point: Discovering HWP Support in Batch Printer
One day, an admin staff member searched for "batch print all at once" and found Batch Printer. At first, she expected just another PDF-only tool. But then she noticed HWP and HWPX listed among the supported formats — and everything changed.
PDF, HWP, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and images — all could be uploaded together and printed with a single click. No software installation needed. It worked right in the web browser.

How It Works: No Installation, Instant Results
Adopting Batch Printer required zero setup. No software to install, no IT department involvement. Open the browser, go to Batch Printer, and start printing.
Step 1: Select all files and drag-and-drop them into Batch Printer (HWP, PDF, Word — any format)
Step 2: If order matters, drag files to rearrange them in the desired sequence
Step 3: Click "Print All" — every file merges into a single PDF and the print dialog opens
On the very first test, the admin uploaded 30 HWP files and 20 PDFs simultaneously. What used to take over 2 hours was ready to print in just 3 minutes.
The Results: From All Day to 5 Minutes
The impact was immediate and dramatic. The biggest change was freeing the staff from being chained to the printer all day.
Over 95% reduction in daily printing time — from 6+ hours to just 5 minutes.
Admin staff could focus on actual work — student records management, answering inquiries
Exam paper printing dropped from half a day to 10 minutes
No more switching between applications for different file formats
No more re-printing due to wrong print order
Start-of-semester parent newsletters handled in a single click
"Now I just upload the files in the morning, hit print all at once, and it is done. We used to work overtime because of printing. Looking back, it is hard to believe that was our reality."
