Description
Imposition Method
Method
None: The default option. Imposition parameters are not
available and the thumbnail viewer does not display an
image.
Step & Repeat: Prints multiple copies of the same
image so it fills up a larger sheet. This method is used
mainly for printing business cards.
Note: The number of copies defined according to pages
or sheets
Step & Continue: Prints different pages of a job on one
sheet according to the selected layout, so that the sheet
is filled to capacity.
Cut & Stack:Prints, cuts, stacks, and bounds step &
repeat jobs in the most efficient manner, while
preserving the original sorting. A job's pages, booklets,
or books are sorted in a Z-shape. In other words, each
stack of pages is sorted in consecutive order. When
stacks are piled one on top of another, the entire job is
already sorted up or down.
Saddle Stitch: A book-finishing technique where the
pages of a book are attached through stitching or
stapling in the spine fold—for example, brochures.
When using the saddle-stitch imposition method, you
can select Sets per sheet. This option enables you to
select how many sets of the job to print on one press
sheet.
Perfect Bound: A book-finishing technique where the
pages of a book are attached through trimming of the
spine fold, roughening the edges of the gathered pages,
and gluing them together—for example, hardcover books.
