Print an example using VDP with FreeForm 2 and Mixed Media

When you print the example document, you specify FreeForm 2 in the VDP application, and then use Command WorkStation to make the appropriate settings.

This example requires these items:

  • A VDP application

  • FreeForm 2

  • A .psm file that contains the master and the variable data

  • A PostScript file

  • Fiery Server

  • Command WorkStation with Mixed Media

  • Cover stock

  • Plain media

  1. Open the .psm file in a VDP application, specify FreeForm 2, and then print the file to the Fiery Server.
  2. In the Print dialog box, send both the master and variable data.

    The Fiery Server receives a master and a variable PostScript file.

  3. Select the PostScript file in Command WorkStation.
  4. Click Action > Properties, and then click the Media icon.
  5. Apply the following settings:
    • Specify a front cover that prints on front only, cover stock, and the tray for the media.
    • From New Insert in Mixed Media, specify inserting a blank page after the last page and the tray for the media, and then click Insert.
  6. Process and hold the job.
  7. Preview the job.
