Imposition
AnOutputCreationPresetcantellaprintertoprintmultiplepagesonasinglesheet(Simplex,or
Duplex).ThisiscalledImposition,alsoknownasN-Upprinting.
ThetwoImpositiontypesareCut&StackandStackbyColumn(see"Impositionoptions"onpage690).
WitheachImpositiontypethereisawiderangeofoptionstocontroltheexactlayoutoftheoutput:the
numberofpagesthatgoononesheet,theirorder,thewaytheyarestacked,thestackdepth,themar-
gins,markings,etc.
NotethatwhenImpositionisused,thepossibilitiestoseparatetheoutput(see"Separation"below)and
toaddadditionalcontent("Additionalcontent"below)arelimited.Groupsandmetadataonlowerlevels
thantheJobSegmentlevel(asdefinedinaJobCreationPreset)arenolongeravailableafterthe
Impositionprocess.
Booklet Imposition
BookletImpositiondefineshowtogeneratebookletsintheoutput(see"BookletOptions"onpage689).
Asprintingbookletsimpliesprintingmultiplepagesonasinglesheet,thisisusedinconjunctionwith
someImpositionsettings.
Separation
Theprintoutputcanbesplit-'separated'-intodiscreetportions.AnOutputCreationPresetcaneither
separatedocuments,documentsets,jobsegmentsorjobs,oritcansplittheoutputbetweencountsof
sheets,documents,documentsetsorjobsegments.Inadditionthepresetcantelltheprintertoaddslip
sheetsand/orjogtheoutput.See"Separationoptions"onpage713.
Usingdocument sets,job segmentsorjobsintheSeparationsettingsrequiresthatdocumentsinthe
printjobbegroupedthatwayinadvance,followingtheinstructionsinaJobCreationPreset(see
"Grouping"onpage863).
Note: SeparatingtheoutputusingGroupingonlevelslowerthantheJobSegmentisnotpossible
whenyouuseImposition.
WithBookletImposition,however,theoutputcanbeseparatedonalllevels.
Additional content
ViaanOutputCreationPreset,content(Text,Images,BarcodesandOMR Marks)canbeaddedto
theoutputatthetimeofoutputcreation.Theadditionalcontentcanbeeitherstaticorvariable(see
"AdditionalContent"onpage653).
Additionalcontentisparticularlyusefulwhenyoumightneedtodrivecustomprocessesonproduction
machinesusingeitherBarcodesorOMRMarks,orifyouneedtoaddsomelastminuteadditionstothe
