RDO FILES

With Document Scan and Makeready, you can do most of your pre-print work.

You can define up to 
12 paper stocks in a 
single RDO.

The number, size, and 
type of paper stocks 
available depend on 
the selected printer 
family.

With the RDO open:

Select [Format: Paper 
Stocks] from the 
menu bar.

Select a stock number 
from the Stock list 
box. Do not change 
Paper Stock 1 or you 
will change the default 
paper stock for the 
entire RDO. (You set 
this in the Document 
Properties dialog box.)

Edit the definition of 
the stock using the 
selections below the 
Stock list box. You 
can change the Size, 
Type, Color, Weight, 
and Drill properties for 
each paper stock. If 
the printer family you 
selected has an 
interposer, like the 
DocuTech 61xx family, 
you can also define a 
stock as a direct insert 
by marking the [Direct 
Insert] box.

Select [OK] to close 
the dialog box.

You can apply a front 
cover, back cover, or 
both before you submit 
the document for 
printing.

Not all printer families 
support covers.

Select [Format: 
Covers] from the 
menu bar.

If you would like a front 
cover, define the paper 
stock and the printing 
option.

If you would like a 
back cover, define the 
paper stock and the 
printing option for the 
back cover.

Select [OK] to close 
the Covers dialog box.

❍

Remember to define 
separate paper stocks for 
covers, tabs, and inserts 
you plan to use in your 
RDO. It may be easier to 
define all your paper 
stocks for an RDO at one 
time.

❍

Special paper stocks for 
color documents, covers, 
tabs, and direct inserts 
may require some paper 
tray changes at the 
printer.

❍

Printing on Side 1 for the 
front cover represents the 
outside of the cover, and 
Side 2 is the inside of the 
cover.

Printing on Side 1 for the 
back cover represents 
the inside of the cover, 
and Side 2 is the outside 
of the cover.

❍

You can define a 1-sided 
cover on a 2-sided RDO, 
and define a 2-sided 
cover on a 1-sided RDO.
