Use a finisher layout file

  1. Select a job in the Held list in Command WorkStation and open Fiery Impose in one of the following ways:
    • Select Impose from the Actions menu.
    • Right-click the job and select Impose.
  2. In Fiery Impose, set preferences on:
    • Windows: Edit > Preferences > Finishers.
    • Mac computers: Preferences are under the Fiery Command WorkStation menu within the Fiery Impose window.
  3. Select the Allow finisher integration check box to specify settings in the Finisher integration section. You can clear this check box, when the finisher is not used.
  4. In the Finisher configuration section, select the desired finisher from the Select device list.
  5. Click OK and restart Fiery Impose for the changes to take effect.
  6. Select Actions > Apply Finisher Preset or alternatively, click the Finisher Preset button at the top of the Settings pane.
  7. Browse to the location of the finisher layout file and click Open.
    Note: When a finisher layout file is imported, additional information about finisher lines is also stored in the finisher layout file. Some of the layout settings that are controlled by the finisher layout file are grayed out. All settings are enabled when either the Impose template is saved or when you click Clear layout.
    On successful import, the name of the finisher layout file is displayed at the top of the Settings pane, below the Template list.
  8. Specify additional settings not included in finisher layout file, such as setting the page level to duplex or simplex or defining the scaling factor.
  9. Save the finisher layout as a template, a regular imposed job, or a flattened PDF.
    Note: If you do not modify the imported file name, it will be shown as the name of the template.
  10. Apply the template to jobs with the same finish size and bleed size using either Fiery Impose or workflows in Hot Folders, Server Presets, Virtual Printers, or Fiery JobFlow. When applying the template to a job with Fiery Impose, you can view the alignment of the page content and the fold and perforation finishing lines.
  11. After importing the finisher layout file, click the Show finisher layout lines button on the toolbar to display the finisher lines. If you save the template at the time of import, the finisher line information is saved along with the Fiery Impose template and is available whenever the template is loaded.
