The Mixed media feature defines a print job’s chapter
divisions and print certain pages, or ranges of pages, on varying types of media.
For example, you can add blank pages or specify
duplex pages within a single print job. You can also use Mixed media to
specify chapter-based finishing options, which treat each chapter as a separate finishing or
duplexing set.
Note: You can save up to 100 different settings for
the Selection List.

preferences.)

-
Expand the Mixed media
option, and select from the following options:
Note: If you use the Chapter Start Page(s), Define Cover, or
Define Each Chapter As A Finishing Set, all media
specified in the paper size per chapter must share the same dimensions.
-
Chapter Start
Page(s) - Designates chapter divisions, using comma-separated values (for example:
4,9,17) to designate the start of each new chapter. It is not necessary to type the first page; page
numbers refer to the numbering of the original document.
-
Define Each Chapter
As A Separate Finishing Set - Applies finishing options (such as stapling) or
double-sided printing to each chapter created with the Chapter Start Page(s) option.
For double-sided printing, this option forces each starting page to use a right-side page, adding a
preceding left-sided blank, if necessary.
-
Define
Cover - Assigns page attributes to front and back cover pages.
Note: This option is available if the Fiery server supports it.

page attributes, click Add Definition to save your
settings.

attributes, click Insert, and then click Close to return to the Mixed media view.
