Size grouping
Theabilitytogroupdocumentsbytheirsizehasbeenextended.Inadditiontogroupingdocuments,
youcannowalsogroupdocument setsandjob segmentsbythenumberofpages.Andinsteadofjust
usingthepagecount,itisalsonowpossibletousethesheetcountforthesizeofthedocuments,sets,
orsegments.Thismakessizegroupingusefulforjobsthatmightcontainbothsimplexandduplexcon-
tent.(SHARED-61192)
Thiswaspreviouslyreferredtoas“pagebreakgrouping”,andisfoundonthesameGroupingOptions
Wizardpage.
Thesettingsusedinthescreenshotabovegroupsdocumentsintodocumentsetsbytheircustomer
number.Sizegroupingthencreatesthreedifferentjobssegments:thefirstwithsetsofonly1sheet,the
secondwithsetsof2to5sheets,andathirdwithanythingof6sheetsorgreater.
InOutputCreation,youcouldcreateanoutputfileperjobsegment,anduse${seg-
ment.metadata.ItemSize}intheoutputfilemasktoautomaticallynamethesefilesappro-
priately.
Impositioning
WehavemadeanumberofimprovementstoImpositioning,bothbyimprovingusabilityandbyadding
newfeatures.Thesechangesledtoaredesignofthelayoutoftheimpositionwizardpage,withsome
optionsbeingmovedandothersrenamed.
Themajorimprovementsareasfollows.
Visual warning
Thepagelayoutdiagramnowdisplaysinredwhentheselectedimpositionoptionsdonotfittheselec-
tedsheet.
Sample page for imposition
Theimpositionsettingsarenotalwaysmeanttoworkwithjustyourcurrenttemplate.Sowe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order-
ing“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
