l
All PlanetPress Design document templates must use the N-Up object on both the front and the
back pages of the duplex document.
l
Each instance of the N-Up object must have the “change data page with each repeat” option
checked.
l
The total number of repeats on each page (vertical X horizontal) must correspond to the number
specified in the Number of virtual pages per physical page option..
l
The Alignment setting of each n-up object must be set according to the device’s duplicating cap-
abilities (long-edge or short edge binding).
Tip: To print a Connect template with an N-Up print layout you need an Output Creation Preset
with the correct production options. See "OL Connect print jobs" on page93. Also see Output
Creation Preset and Print Options in Connect's Online Help.
Input

Task properties
General Tab
l
Number of virtual pages that appear on each physical page: This is equivalent to the N in N-
Up. This number should be equal to the total number of virtual pages in your PlanetPress Design
document. For example, a 2 horizontal x 3 vertical is 6-up, so this number should be 6.
l
Number of data pages that make up a single duplex virtual document: Either 1 if your doc-
ument is duplex (has a front and back), whether the back has variable data or not, or 2 if your doc-
ument is simplex or the data is already properly duplicated so the front and back already match.
Miscellaneous Tab
The Miscellaneous tab is common to all tasks.
