Xerox DocuColor 12 Printer with Fiery EX12 产品宣传页

This chapter describes the variable data printing features compatible with the 
Fiery, including:

• Background information about variable data printing

• Printing variable data documents using Fiery FreeForm

™

 and FreeForm 2

Variable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted 
mailings. It involves combining a set of master elements that are common across copies 
of a document with a set of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An 
example is a brochure that greets customers by name and may include other personal 
information about the customer obtained from a marketing database. Background 
elements, illustrations, and text blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure 
comprise the master elements. The customer’s name and other customer-specific 
information comprise the variable elements.

The Fiery is compatible with the following methods of variable data printing:

• The FreeForm feature allows you to use print options to define and store 

master-element documents—called FreeForm masters—on the Fiery. You can send 
a variable-element job to the Fiery with instructions to combine the job with a 
particular FreeForm master.

• The FreeForm 2 feature allows you to assign a specific page of a FreeForm master 

to each page of a variable job. To use FreeForm 2, you must create and print the 
variable job in a popular variable data printing application, such as PrintShop Mail.

• You can create the master and variable elements of a job in a popular variable data 

printing application, such as Pageflex Persona, and then print the job to the Fiery 
through a supported file format. The Fiery is compatible with the Creo VPS, Xerox 
VIPP, and PPML variable data formats.

PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version and Pageflex Persona-Fiery Version are options.
