Specifying settings in the Finisher Preset dialog box

To create a finisher preset, open a spooled job in Fiery Impose, and specify settings in the Finisher Preset dialog box. In the Finisher Preset dialog box, you can specify settings in three tabs—Layout settings, Crease, and Perforation.

Note the following:
  • The applicable range of each setting that you specify is displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the Finisher Preset dialog box.
  • When you specify a setting in the Finisher Preset dialog box, you can preview the changes in the Sheet View pane. If you do not specify the settings in the Finisher Preset dialog box, default values are automatically set.
  • You can navigate between settings and tabs sequentially. However, if you return to a previous setting or tab, all values and settings that you specified revert to default values.
  • Diagnostic information, such as informational and warning messages, is displayed at the bottom of the Settings pane.

You can specify settings in the Finisher Preset dialog box using the following controls:
