Finishing

[Finishing] is the workflow item that contains the fold procedures, section orientation information and cut data in JDF. Adding [Finishing] to the workflow enables the output device to acquire the fold procedures, section orientation information and cut data from the received JDF.

Note

[JDF Export] is the workflow item for outputting information related to the job, whereas [Finishing] is the workflow item for outputting the fold procedures, section orientation information and cut data acquired from the imposition settings.

Only 1 section orientation information item is included in JDF. If 2 signatures with different binding edges are included on a single sheet, or the binding edges of 2 sheets are different, the information of the first detected signature of the signatures included in the job is applied.

 

[Finishing] can be connected to [Plates] or [Press].

You can also place multiple [Finishing] in one workflow, and connect multiple [Finishing] to one workflow item.

[Finishing] acquires the fold procedures, section orientation information and cut data from the sheets of the connected workflow items.

In [Finishing], the following items can be set.

ID Setting Description

1

JDF Target

Configure the settings related to the output method of JDF.

2

Device Options

Configure the settings related to JDF output devices.

Note

If the workflow item [Press] is changed to [Digital Press], all [Finishing] are deleted.

Once [Finishing] is processed, a [Finishing] retry is not performed even if you make a change like adding another [Finishing] later.

The fold procedures, section orientation information and cut data that XMF outputs to JDF are limited to general-purpose information. This information may not necessarily be used to operate all output devices.

Section orientation information is not supported in imposition patterns that use Come and Go.
