Printing FreeForm variable data documents
Printing FreeForm variable data documents
The FreeForm printing feature provides a flexible and efficient method for printing
variable data jobs (such as direct-mail advertising pieces). FreeForm allows users to
preRIP and store the master elements of their variable data jobs on the server, and then
use that master data as needed, for multiple variable data jobs.

The preRIPped master-element jobs are stored on the server as FreeForm masters, and

The ability to override job settings is especially important for variable data printing
with FreeForm. Although the server can store up to one hundred FreeForm masters,
users are limited to a range of 1 to 15 as values they can specify for the Create Master
and Use Master print settings. In order to make use of all one hundred available
FreeForm Masters, the operator must override the Create Master and Use Master print
settings from Command WorkStation.

Creating and monitoring FreeForm masters
Users can assign FreeForm master numbers from 1 to 15 using the Create Master print
option when they send a job. These numbers can be changed to a number from 1 to
100 with job overrides from the Job Properties dialog box.
option when they send a job. These numbers can be changed to a number from 1 to
100 with job overrides from the Job Properties dialog box.
When the first 15 FreeForm master numbers have been used, users may inadvertently
overwrite existing FreeForm masters by assigning what they think are new, unused
FreeForm master numbers. When users choose a master number from the Create
Master print option, an existing job using that master number will be overwritten (the
user will receive a message warning them that they are about to replace an existing job).
For this reason, the operator may bear the responsibility of deleting existing master
jobs or reassigning master numbers 1 through 15 in order to avoid any overwriting
problems. Since the operator is the only person who can assign numbers from 16 to
100, he or she can maintain a high level of control over the FreeForm master numbers
in use.
