You can set the creep for each signature.
In the creep settings, there are two methods, one that allows you to set the creep for each signature and the other allows you to specify reference numerical values or media types and then automatically calculate and set the creep.
ID | Setting | Description | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

List |
Displays the signature set in [Signatures] pane and creep settings for each signature. ID: Displays the signature number. Signature Name: Displays the signature name. B/S: Displays the binding style setting of the signature.
InitialCreep(X): Displays the initial creep in X direction set in the assembly sections that contains the signature. InitialCreep(Y): Displays the initial creep in Y direction set in the assembly sections that contains the signature. Creep(X): Displays the creep in X direction set in the signature. Creep(Y): Displays the creep in Y direction set in the signature.
Select the signatures for which you want to set the creep from the list. Note

Initial Creep(a) |
Set the initial creep (the creep for the illustration (a) in the dialog) for the assembly section which contains the signature selected in the list. Enter each of [X] and [Y] values. Specify a positive numerical value to shift all the pages in the assembly section in the face or head direction. Specify a negative numerical value to shift the page in the assembly section in the spine or foot direction. You can set a value from -35.28 to 35.28 mm. |

3 |
Total(b) |
Set the total (the creep for the illustration (b) in the dialog) for the assembly section which contains the signature selected in the list. Enter the numerical value to use for automatically calculating the creep in [X]. Enter a positive numerical value to shift the page on the very outside in the face direction. Enter a negative numerical value to shift the page on the very inside in the spine direction. You can set a value from -35.28 to 35.28 mm. Note

4 |
Calculate |
Calculates the creep for each signature displayed in the list based on [Total(b)] and applies to the signature. The calculated creep values are displayed in [Creep(X)] of the list. Note
|

5 |
Media Type |
You can automatically calculate the creep to apply to the signature selected in the list, based on the paper thickness of the selected media type. Click [ Note
|

6 |
Calculate |
Calculates and applies the creep for each signature selected in the list based on the paper thickness of the media type selected in [Media Type]. The calculated creep values are displayed in [Creep(X)] and [Creep(Y)] of the list. The calculated creep values are also applied to [Creep(c)], where they can be adjusted manually. Note
|

7 |
Creep Factor | When specifying the media type and automatically calculating the creep, set the factor to use in the calculation. Set in a range of 0.1 to 9.9. The larger the value, the larger the creep. | ||||
8 |
Creep(c) |
Set the creep (the creep for the illustration (c) in the dialog) for each signature. Enter the creep directly in [X] and [Y] for the signature selected from the list. Specify a positive numerical value to shift the page in the face or head direction. Specify a negative numerical value to shift the page in the spine or foot direction. You can set a value from -35.28 to 35.28 mm. |
If you execute an automatic calculation after setting [Creep(c)] for the signature selected in the list, the creep will be automatically calculated based on the value set for [Total(b)] or the paper thickness of the media selected in [Media Type], and that value will be given priority.
If you load an imposition template while you are setting pagination, the creep values set in this dialog will be discarded and overwritten by the creep values registered in the template.
If you load a stripping sheet template while you are setting pagination, signatures will be added to the signature list of the current job. Therefore, the creep set for the assembly section that contains the added signatures will be applied as the initial creep of the added signatures.
If an imposition template or stripping template in which the creep has been set is started and saved from the [Administration] screen while you are setting pagination, the pagination creep will be discarded and initial creep and creep settings will be converted to the regular creep.
When the creep is set in the pagination settings, the creep settings in [Imposition View] are hidden and cannot be configured.
An icon to indicate the creep direction is displayed in the Pagination screen - [Signatures] pane for signatures with creep set. [] is displayed when pages move in the face direction. [
] is displayed when pages move in the spine direction.
The icon is displayed based on the settings of [Creep(c)] when directions of [Initial Creep(a)] and [Creep(c)] are different.
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.
