About finisher layout files

Finisher layout files contain information relating to layout settings that have been defined on the finisher. Some offline finishers support the export of layout settings to a finisher layout file.

When you export layout settings defined on a supported cut, trim, crease, or perforation finishing device to a finisher layout file, you can create Fiery Impose templates with identical layout settings. When you save the new template, you can apply the layout settings to future jobs without manual setup on the finisher.

Note the following:
  • The Apply Finisher Preset feature is supported only on some inline and offline finishers.
  • Importing of batch finisher layout files is not supported.
  • By default, when finisher layout files are imported, they are saved as User Defined finish size imposition templates. The finish size set in Fiery Impose matches the dimensions of the cut block defined in the finisher layout file. Settings that modify the layout of the finish size imposition template are grayed out.
  • When applying the template to a job, you can view the alignment of the page content and the finishing lines (fold and perforation line) in the Sheet View pane.

Finisher lines

In addition to layout parameters, the finisher layout file that is exported also contains information about line types.

The following table provides a reference to the types of finisher lines:
