In Preferences, Scale sets the default scale factor when Fiery Impose starts. Finish Size is based on the PDF crop box or trim box settings. (Not all Fiery Servers support the Finish Size setting.)

1. Click Size.
2. For Scale, click 100% or Scale to fit.
3. For Finish size, click Based on Crop box or User Defined.

   • Based on Crop Box, the default and legacy Fiery Impose workflow, depends on the PDF crop box.

   • User Defined allows Impose to detect the trim box settings, when present within the document, and use these as the default finish size. It does not depend on document size and crop box.

The Paths pane in the Preferences dialog box lets you set paths to the default location for temporary files and preset templates.

1. Click Paths
2. Set the following:

   • For Temporary Path, set the default location for temporary files.

   • For Imposition Template Path, specify the folder for storing the preset template files.
