have added a sample page setting that will be used for both the preview and the validation of
the settings. This sample page now defaults to the size and orientation of the first section of a
template, instead of its first media.
Stack by Column
Alongside the existing cut and stack impositioning order, we have introduced an imposition
order that is more suited for continuous feed printing when the imposition has multiple rows. We
call this new ordering “Stack by Column”, and it is very suitable for roll fed label printing.
It works like this: instead of always positioning the subsequent page on the next sheet (until the
stack depth is reached), stack by column first goes to the next row down on the sheet, and then
down in the stack. The effect is that if all sheets are layed out top to bottom consecutively, the
impositioned pages are ordered by column. If the imposition has only 1 row, both methods are
identical.
Comparison of Stack by Column and Cut and Stack with 16 duplex pages in a 2×2
imposition.

Reverse impositioning
In roll fed applications, reversing the imposition order can be very important, because, when
