Job Element Manager - Pagination Screen

[Sheets] Pane

In the [Sheets] pane, set which signatures to place on the plates (sheets) of the press. Set the combinations of the sheets of the entire job and signatures to place on the sheets.

It is possible to place 1 signature or multiple selected signatures on 1 sheet.

The settings can also be edited from the context menu.

Note

Since signatures with different binding styles, number-up settings and assembly sections can also be assigned to the same sheet, you can also effectively assign signatures that have pages with different binding styles in the job, and that have a lower number-up setting.

Caution

Signatures with different [Binding Edge] settings cannot be assigned to the same sheet.

The same signature cannot be assigned multiple times to 1 sheet.

A sheet on which signatures with different binding styles, number-up settings and assembly sections are placed cannot be saved as a template, so the only stripping sheet template that can be selected is [Default_Sheet].

If signatures with a mixture of [Signature Style] - [Come and Go] and other settings are placed on 1 sheet, the page numbers may not be assigned correctly for the signatures.

Note

If 1 or multiple signatures are selected for sheet assignment in the [Signatures] pane and then dragged and dropped onto the [Sheets] pane, the [Add Sheet] dialog is displayed. Select [Add 1 sheet per selected signature] or [Add selected signatures to a single sheet] to add the corresponding number of sheets.

When multiple selected signatures are dragged and dropped onto the [Sheets] pane, multiple signatures are placed on 1 sheet.

The sheet IDs set in the [Sheets] pane can be used for confirming the sheets belonging to a sheet group, and identifying the sheets when setting output separations by surface for Plates.

Up to 9,999 sheets can be displayed in the list.
