To create a finisher preset, you must first specify preferences in the Finishers tab.
  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, select Edit > Preferences > Finishers.
    Note: On Windows computers, you set Fiery Impose preferences in Edit > Preferences. On Mac computers, preferences are under the Fiery Command WorkStation menu in 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.

When you have selected your finisher, specify the following additional settings:

  1. To access the installation folder located on the Duplo PC Controller computer, do one of the following:
    • In PC controller path, specify the path to the installation folder on the Duplo PC Controller computer.

      The installation folder contains configuration files with details about import and export folders that you created on the Duplo PC Controller computer.

    • Click Browse to select the installation folder on the Duplo PC Controller computer and populate the Preset path field.
    Note: The Duplo PC Controller computer requires a minor change in its configuration to enable the integration with Fiery Impose. For more information, see the documentation that accompanies the Duplo PC Controller software.

    You can click Test to test the connection between the Fiery server and the computer with the Duplo PC Controller software.

    You can also click Import presets to import backed-up or downloaded presets.
    Note: The imported presets are listed in the Finisher Preset window.
  2. Specify the number of perforation modules available on the finisher from the corresponding list.

  3. In Barcode Range Min and Barcode Range Max, specify the minimum and maximum barcode range for the finisher preset.
    Note: The barcode is used to identify the preset applied to a job. When you export a preset from the Duplo PC Controller computer, a barcode number is placed on the sheet when the job is printed. When you insert the printed output in the finisher, the scanner in the finisher scans the barcode and uses the preset number to automatically assign the correct preset to the job.

After specifying finisher preferences, you must restart Fiery Impose for the changes to take effect.
