4. Decide which Media should be linked to each sheet position: click the downward pointing
arrow after Media and select a Media.
5. Optionally, decide which Master Page should be linked to each sheet; see "Master
Pages" on page153.
Note
When both Media and a Master Page are used on a certain page, they will both be
displayed on the Preview tab of the workspace, the Master Page being 'in front' of the
Media and the Print section on top. To open the Preview tab, click it at the bottom of the
Workspace or select View > Preview View on the menu.
Note
Master Pages, Media and Duplex printing options can also be set in a Control Script (see
"Control Scripts" on page417 and "Control Script API" on page889). This is especially
useful when you need identical sections with different settings.
Dynamically switching the Media
In addition to applying Media to sheets via the settings, it is possible to change Media
dynamically, based on a value in a data field, in a script. The script has already been made;
you only have to change the name of the Media and the section in the script, and write the
condition on which the Media has to be replaced.
1.
On the Resources pane, expand the Contexts folder, expand the Print context, right-
click the print section and click Sheet configuration.
2. Decide which pages should have dynamically switching media: every first page in the
Print section, every last page, one of the pages in between (a 'middle page'), or a single
page. (Uncheck the option Same for all positions, to see all page positions.)
3.
In the area for the respective sheet position, click the Edit script button next to Media.
The Script Wizard appears with a standard script:
results.attr("content","Media 1");
Media 1 will have been replaced with the name of the media selected for the chosen
sheet position.
