[Imposition Patterns] Pane

When printing page data, data for 1 page is not printed onto 1 sheet of paper. Instead, pages are aligned and printed onto the largest size paper that can fit onto the printing plate, after which the sheets are folded and cut using fixed methods to bind the book. For this reason, it is necessary to determine the page arrangement in advance. This process of page arrangement according to the printing and binding processes is known as "Imposition".

When performing imposition in XMF, it is necessary to register such details as the number of pages per sheet, sheet layout, and page orientation as the imposition pattern. Basic imposition patterns are already registered in XMF. However, users can register new imposition patterns and edit existing imposition patterns.
