Printing variable data documents with FreeForm
In FreeForm variable data printing, you can use print options to define master
documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Fiery EX2101.
documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Fiery EX2101.
How FreeForm works
The basic premise of FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element data
for the job can be sent to the Fiery EX2101 and rasterized separately from the
variable-element data. The master-element data is stored on the Fiery EX2101 in
rasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple
sets of variable-element data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and
stored on the Fiery EX2101, the only RIP time required for variable data print jobs is
the time needed to RIP the variable-element data. You can use FreeForm masters for
any fixed-element data you might combine with different data from day to day. For
example, a letterhead template can be stored as a FreeForm master and used repeatedly
as the background for different letter content (the variable-element data).

FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any
application. You can create the two documents using different applications or
computer platforms. To create the masters document, you can use a page layout or
graphics application. To create the variable document, you can use a word processing
application that has a mail merge feature, a page layout application that supports
scripting, or a database application.

FreeForm functions are controlled with two print options: Create Master and Use
Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct
the operator to set them with job overrides from the job management tools. You can
also use Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE to monitor and manage
all the FreeForm masters stored on the Fiery EX2101. For more information, see the
