New assembly section |
Select this to add an assembly section immediately before the selected signature. This allows you to, for example, separate the cover and body text pages with an assembly section when there are different paper types for the cover and body text of 1 document. Furthermore, even if the binding style is the same, in the case of notch binding for which separate saddle stitch volumes are laid out flat and then bound, each of the saddle stitch volumes can be separated with an assembly section. Since inserting these assembly sections enables you to group just pages with the same print conditions, performing tasks like workflow item assignment becomes easy. Caution

You can move an assembly section in the list by dragging and dropping it. If moving an assembly section will result in signatures with different [Binding Style] and [Binding Edge] settings being included in the same assembly section, the settings are changed to those of the signature that was immediately before or immediately after the assembly section before the move.
An assembly section cannot be moved to the following positions.
If an assembly section is moved, the page assignment for each signature is set again.
If moving an assembly section will result in the [Sheets] or [Sheet Groups] settings being unable to be applied, an error message will be displayed and the changes will be cancelled.
If moving an assembly section will result in signatures that are n-up different signatures being separated or the binding style changing to saddle stitch, an error message will be displayed and the move will be cancelled.
