You can specify the number of records to pre-parse for FreeForm jobs and the network locations (paths) for objects used by variable data printing (VDP).

1. From Configure, choose RIP > VDP.
2. If users will apply imposition or duplex printing to a FreeForm 1 job or FreeForm Create job, select the length of the record:

   • Job - Defines the record boundary as the entire job.

   • FreeForm Master - Defines the record boundary as the length of the FreeForm master.

3. Specify the number of records to examine while a job is spooling.

   If you type a number, the Fiery server examines that number of records as a sample for determining whether the record length is consistent among records. If the records in this sample have the same length, the Fiery server assumes all records in the job have the same length.

   If the Fiery server detects that any of the records have a different length (whether you specify All Records or a sample number), the Fiery server examines all records when necessary for processing or imposition purposes. If the Fiery server does not detect any different lengths in the sample records at spool time, but later detects a subsequent record with a different length, the user is prompted for further action.

4. Click Add to specify the network paths where the Fiery server searches for common objects.
5. In the window that appears, type the path name.

   When typing the path name, use the format of a mapped drive (for example, Z:\folder) or a UNC (for example, \\computer name\folder).

6. If the path is located on a computer that requires authentication, select Remote Server Authentication, and then enter the appropriate user name and password.
7. Click OK.
8. To add more paths, click Add and repeat these steps.
9. Save your changes.
