Print the example handbook using Fiery Compose and Paper Catalog

In this workflow, you use Fiery Compose to reformat the book, add front and back covers and designate chapter starts. (Gold covers and blue tab stock are already in the Paper Catalog.)

This example requires the following:

  • PDF file with example book
  • Fiery Server

  • Command WorkStation with Fiery Compose and Paper Catalog

  • Gold cover stock for the front and back covers

  • Plain media for the chapter text

  • Blue tab stock

  1. Define the gold cover stock and blue tab stock in Paper Catalog, and use Paper Tray Association to assign the media to the appropriate trays.
  2. Create the PDF file and import it to Command WorkStation.
  3. Right-click the job, and click Properties.
  4. Specify that the job prints duplex and that the job is stapled.
  5. Select the job in Command WorkStation, and then click Actions > Compose and display Page View.
  6. Specify page settings:
    • Select all the pages of the job, right-click, and assignLetter-size media.

    • Select the job's first page, select Cover, specify the front and back covers that print on the outside, and then choose Gold cover stock from Paper Catalog.

    • Select the first page of the first chapter, and then click Chapter Start. Repeat this for each chapter in the handbook.

  7. Right-click the fourth page, choose Insert Tab, and assign the tab stock from Paper Catalog.
  8. Right-click the tab, type "Tax Form" for the tab text, and then click OK.

    If your job only uses one tab, but your tab media includes tabs in several other positions, the Fiery Server prints only on the tab designated for your job and outputs the remaining blank tabs.

  9. Save the job.
  10. Print the job.

    Print one set as a proof before printing multiple copies.
