Sheet Settings

Surface

Create a new sheet or copy a selected sheet. Also, the settings of a created sheet can be saved as a stripping sheet template.

2

New

Click to display [Sheet Templates] dialog. Select a stripping sheet template, and add a new sheet.

Note
  • When a global sheet mark is being used, clicking [New] to add a sheet will copy the global sheet mark of the currently displayed sheet.

Click to add a new sheet after the selected sheet.

3

Copy

Click to display [Number of Copies] dialog. Use the same settings as the selected sheet, and add a sheet.

4

Delete

Deletes the selected sheet.

Note
  1. It cannot be deleted if there is only 1 sheet.

5

Replace Click to display [Sheet Templates] dialog. Apply the stripping sheet template settings to the selected sheet.

6

Save As Template

Click to display [Stripping Sheet Templates] dialog. Save the settings of the current sheet as a stripping sheet template.

Note
  • When a stripping sheet template is saved from Imposition View, the global sheet marks placed on the sheet are discarded and are not saved. To set global sheet marks in a stripping sheet template, open [Stripping Sheet Editor] from [Administration] screen - [Templates] - [Stripping Sheet Templates] pane, and then configure the settings.

7

Sheet Name

Sets the sheet name.

8

Sheet Number

Sets the sheet number.

Note
  1. If the sheet number is changed, the numbers of the following sheets are changed automatically.
  2. A number that is smaller than the current sheet number cannot be set.

9

Work Style

Click [] and then specify the work style.

Perfecting : Select to return the paper to vertical against the plate.

Flat Work : Places multiple signatures on a sheet.

Sheet Work : Select to return the paper to horizontal against the plate.

Work and Tumble:

Rotates the paper vertically 180 degrees when viewed from the gripper side and turns it over to print using the same media after the front is printed.

A horizontal dotted line is displayed on the sheet, and the back page is added at a position in which the dotted line is at the centre and the page is in symmetry with respect to the line.

Work and Turn:

Rotates the paper horizontally 180 degrees when viewed from the gripper side and turns it over to print using the same media after the front is printed.

A vertical dotted line is displayed on the sheet, and the back page is added at a position in which the dotted line is at the centre and the page is in symmetry with respect to the line.

None : A work style is not used.

Note
  1. Changing the work style may result in a signature being invalidly placed. If that happens, a warning will be displayed. Confirm the warning and then correct the settings.

Auto

Automatically calculates the creep to apply to the selected sheet based on the paper thickness of the media type selected in the job.

Note
  1. The automatic calculation is performed using the following equation.
    Creep = ((t × 3.14)/2) × c
  2. t = Paper thickness (mm)
  3. c = Creep factor
  4. The creep is calculated automatically based on the paper thickness information for the media selected in [Media Type] of the job's press workflow item. To perform the automatic calculation correctly, select [Media Type] before configuring the imposition settings.
  5. Only the paper thickness information defined in ColorPath Organizer or Calibration Manager is used in the automatic calculation for creep. Paper thickness information defined by other methods is not used.
  6. To finely adjust the automatically calculated creep, after the creep automatic calculation is completed, select [Manual (Specify Individually)] and click [Copy Auto Creep]. The automatically calculated creep can now be changed manually.
  7. The automatic calculation result is changed according to the value in [Creep Factor].
  8. When the creep is set in the pagination settings, this setting is hidden and cannot be configured.
  9. When creep is set, to place the dynamic marks of each signature in alignment with the outermost signature within the same assembly section, set [Align Marks to outermost Signature when setting Creep] in [Administration] screen - [System Preferences] pane. For details, contact the administrator.

11

Creep Factor Set the factor when automatically calculating the creep. Set in a range of 0.1 to 9.9. The larger the value, the larger the creep.

12

Creep in X Direction

Set whether to perform creep in the shift to face or shift to spine direction when calculating the creep automatically.

Shift to Face: Performs creep in the shift to face direction. When selected, the creep is displayed on the right with a positive value.

Shift to Spine: Performs creep in the shift to spine direction. When selected, the creep is displayed on the right with a negative value.

None: Select to not perform creep in the shift to face or shift to spine direction.

13

Creep in Y Direction

Set whether to perform creep in the shift to head or shift to foot direction when calculating the creep automatically.

Shift to Head: Performs creep in the shift to head direction. When selected, the creep is displayed on the right with a positive value.

Shift to Foot: Performs creep in the shift to foot direction. When selected, the creep is displayed on the right with a negative value.

None: Select to not perform creep in the shift to head or shift to foot direction.

14

Manual (Specify Individually)

Manually set the creep to apply to the selected sheet. You can also finely adjust an automatically calculated creep.

X: Specify a positive value to apply the creep in the shift to face direction. Specify a negative value to apply the creep in the shift to spine direction.

Y: Specify a positive value to apply the creep in the shift to head direction. Specify a negative value to apply the creep in the shift to foot direction.

Copy Auto Creep: Click to reflect the automatically calculated creep in [X] and [Y]. The reflected values can be adjusted manually.

Note
  1. You can set the creep from -35.28 to 35.28 mm.
  2. This cannot be set when [Manual (Use Default Creep)] is selected.
  3. When the creep is set in the pagination settings, this setting is hidden and cannot be configured.

15

Manual (Use Default Creep)

Apply the default creep set in Imposition View - [Imposition] to the selected sheet.

Note
  1. When the creep is set in the pagination settings, this setting is hidden and cannot be configured.

16

Placed Order

Display the layer list. The layers with checked checkboxes are output.

Furthermore, the layers are rendered in the order in which they appear in the list. The layer at the top of the list will be at the very front, and the layer at the end of the list will be at the very back. To change the order of the layers, select a layer and then drag and drop it onto the desired position.

Page Content/Register & Trim Marks/Collation Mark/Colour Patch/Blind Folio: The layers displayed by default.

Custom mark name: Displayed when a custom mark is placed.
The placed custom mark name is displayed.

Sheet Edge Mark: Displayed when a sheet edge mark is placed.

Management Information: Displayed when management information is placed.

Note
  1. The check cannot be cleared from [Page Content] or [Custom Mark].
  2. The layers with checked checkboxes are displayed in the context menu of the [] (Marks) button in Imposition View. You can select the layer items from the context menu of the [] (Marks) button and check the output image in the Preview pane.
