Prints two document pages on each side of a single sheet of paper.

Has full access to all Command WorkStation and Fiery server control panel functions. Administrator password is required.

Alignment controls allow you to specify the placement of a page within its predefined slot on the sheet. For example, if a page has been scaled smaller than the slot, you can align the page to the top-left corner of the slot by clicking the control that corresponds to that position.

Relationship of width to height. In general, portrait equals a width less than (<) the height. Landscape equals a width greater than (>) the height.

Choose the default color profile that will be applied only to the back side of your media. This attribute can be overridden by specifying a different color profile in Job Properties.

Extension of the content beyond a trim mark, used to ensure that the printed area extends to the very edge of a trimmed page.

Appear when specified scaling values will cause the page to print beyond the edge of the sheet. When the window is in Layout mode, any clipped page edge is highlighted in yellow. When the window is in Preview mode, the Clipping icon appears to the left of the Scale Factor field. Also, the page preview shows content truncating at the edge of the sheet.

Creep, or binder's creep, is the shift of the content area caused by the incremental fold of signatures in Saddle and Nested Saddle binding.

Compensates automatically for binder's creep when saddle-stitched binding is specified.

The Creep Adjustment menu is used to compensate automatically for binder's creep when saddle-stitched binding is specified.

Custom enables the Scale Factor and Finished Height and Width fields, so that you can specify new scaling values. The original height and width values are displayed for reference. When you specify a value, Impose automatically updates the other fields to preserve the height-to-width aspect ratio of the page.

Printing on both sides of the sheet.

The side of the paper that first enters the printer.

Any device designed for the after-printing process, such as folding, stapling, or binding.

Any after-printing process, such as folding, stapling, or binding.

Scales page(s) to fill the height of each page slot on the sheet.

Scales page(s) to fill the width of each page slot on the sheet.

Fixed Page mode allows you to impose documents that contain pages of the same size.

A dotted line that marks the location of a fold.

The default color profile that will be applied only to the front side of your media. This attribute can be overridden by specifying a different color profile in Job Properties.

Gang Up printing consists of grouping separate images, or pages, together on a sheet rather than arranging each on a separate sheet.

An additional margin that allows space for binding or other finishing options (not to be confused with page margins).

Area of the paper where marks can actually be made.

Front and/or back cover matter that is printed with the body pages in the same job.

Stores descriptive text used for the job name, sheet information, and date and time.

In a landscape document, the width is greater than the height.

Layout view mode displays numbered, generic pages that allow you to determine the location of source document pages in the imposed jobs. You can rotate individual pages in a layout view.

Specifies binding across the left edge of the booklet. The booklet reads from left to right.

White or blank space surrounding the printable area. Margins may vary within a document.

The default color profile that will be applied to both the front and back sides of your media. This attribute can be overridden by specifying a different color profile in Job Properties.

Mixed Page mode allows you to impose documents that contain pages of different sizes.

A combination of saddle and perfect binding methods. As with saddle binding, the signatures are folded together as a group, which forms a subset. The subsets are then stacked on top of one another and glued, as with perfect binding.

Cover matter printed separately and assembled with the body pages after printing.

Offsets values are calculated in reference to the alignment position, and reset to zero when you specify a new alignment.

Has access to all Job Center functions. In Device Center, does not have access to Configure, Backup and Restore, changing passwords, and deleting the Job Log. Can view Paper Catalog, virtual printers, and color management functions, but cannot edit them. Operator password is required.

Allows you to drag the desired portion of the job into view.

A group of individually folded signatures that are stacked along a common fold for binding. The spine is flattened and glued together.

In a portrait document, the width is less than (<) the height.

A tray that allows input of any blank or pre-printed matter that bypasses the printer fuser.

Preview view mode approximates the appearance of the final printed output. It is sometimes called WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get).

Space assigned to page content (text and/or images).

Designate the location of folds, cuts, margins, gutters, and bleeds. Printer's marks appear on the printed sheet outside the main content area of the job.

Shows pages in the order and layout in which they are printed as an imposed job.

For a Fiery server, printing refers to transferring the raster image from the Fiery server to the printer at high speed, freeing up RAM for the next job. While the print job's file is usually saved to disk, raster images are held in RAM during and after each print job. However, both users and Operators can request that the raster image is saved to disk along with the original print job's file. Saving the raster image to disk offers some advantages - raster files are already processed so they print quickly, and each part of the raster file is still identified with a page in the original document, which means that individual pages of a saved raster file can be accessed.

Processing a job, or RIPping a job, involves creating a raster file (raster image) after spooling, in preparation for printing. A processed/held job is kept in the Hold queue until sent to the printer.

Shows pages in the order and layout in which they are intended to be read.

Specifies binding across the right edge of the booklet. The booklet reads from right to left.

RIP stands for Raster Image Processing. RIPing refers to sending the job through the first part of the print process. Print option preferences specified for the job are interpreted, and a raster image file created. In this raster file (raster image), color data is associated with each dot that can be rendered on the printer. The color data tells the printer whether or not to apply cyan, magenta, yellow, or black toner to each position on the page.

A group of folded sheets stitched or stapled on a common, centered fold line. Saddle-stitched binding is the most basic type of binding and is the most common for booklets.

Scales page(s) to best fill the sheet without printing past its edge. Scale to Fit is the default mode.

Paper on which a printing job is imaged on a printing press.

A press sheet that is folded to form the pages of a booklet in sequential order. Each signature in a booklet is folded in the same way.

Printing on only one side of the sheet.

The Size menu includes items representing all page sizes defined by the currently selected printer PostScript printer description (PPD) file.

Where the signatures are joined at the center fold and then stitched or bound.

Jobs are spooled and held on the Fiery server in preparation for job management by the operator. After the operator assigns a destination, the job is spooled for processing.

The job, a file sent for printing, is saved on the Fiery server hard disk. The file may arrive in packets from the network, or be loaded from a disk. Jobs appear in the queue in the order they arrive, and generally move through the print workflow in the same order unless an operator intervenes. If a job's movement is suspended, it is held in the spool queue pending further instruction. For this reason, the spool queue may also be known as the Hold queue.

Specifies binding across the top of the booklet.

A solid line that defines the location of a cut.
