Subset finishing in Fiery Compose

If the printer supports it, you can apply individual finishing options to subsets in the job, thus applying a variety of finishing options in one pass. You can define subsets according to chapters, sheet ranges, or a custom range.

First, you should specify finishing options for the whole job, including media and setting duplex if desired. For details, see Set sheet size in Fiery Impose and Duplex settings in Fiery Impose.

You then create subsets within the job, and then specify finishing options and set media for individual subsets, ranges of sheets or pages, or individual sheets or pages.

Subset finishing rules

  • Sheets in a subset must be continuous, including any inserts or tabs added in Fiery Compose.

  • You use the Page View pane to define chapter starts for chapter subset finishing.

  • The Settings pane specifies the sheet count for sheet subset finishing. Each subset contains the same number of sheets.

  • The Sheet View pane defines custom subsets. Each subset can be of any length.

  • If you switch the Set Definition from chapter or number of sheets to custom, the previously defined subsets are the starting point for the Custom settings.

  • Switching the Set Definition from custom to chapter or number of sheets removes the custom subsets and replaces them with the new definition.

  • All sheets within a subset must be of the same size, except for tabs and Z-fold inserts.

  • You cannot specify covers for finishing subsets.

  • If you define subsets for a single-sided or simplex job, and then specify duplex for the job, note that:

    • For sheet subset finishing, the subsets maintain the sheet count. For example, a subset that was 3 pages on 3 sheets remains as 3 sheets, but with 6 pages.

    • For chapter and custom subset finishing, the subsets maintain the page count, adding blanks as necessary to fulfill the duplex requirement.
