separate ways. I.e. removing of headers and footers of the additional pages included in multi-up print.

Copy

Management: Stating N in this field, will enable you to define advanced pagination within the overlay for use with spool entries consisting of different types of contents (see using Page control page 52).

Stating Y will enable you to create several copies of each page. Also design elements can be dedicated to specific copies. This is for instance used when making copies of Invoices where the overlay for the copy should have basically the same elements as the original but should be characterized by the text “COPY” printed across.

Duplex options

These options are only visible if you have selected duplex print for the actual file-set (Option 5. Create/Delete Overlay File Sets page 273). If the field Duplex print is filled in with N, only the front of the paper is used.

Duplex

print: If you answer S or L in the Duplex print field, both sides of the paper is used, including the answer you have given about the duplex margin being at the long or short edge of the paper. When filling in S or L for Duplex print together with N for Copy Management the Page Control on the Design Overlay screen will be extended to include selection for restricting overlay to odd or even pages (See Page control page 52)

Forced front

page: Controls if the overlay for which the Duplex function has been selected, always should be printed on a front page, when a overlay selector is used. By stating *YES, you will avoid that an intended first page is printed on the duplex side of the previous page.

Duplex

margin: This value in the field states the width of the binding margin in n/240 inch.

Back page

overlay: This field can be left blank meaning that you want to use the same overlay on both sides of each sheet. If the field is filled in with an overlay name, only the front pages will be used for print and the back pages will contain the back page overlay without any spool data.

It is however, possible to put variable data on both sides of the sheet with different overlays, by leaving this field blank, and using sub- overlays. A simple “main” overlay should be made, that contains two sub-overlays calls only. In the two If..then lines in the main overlay, the field “number of lines to remap”, will indicate the lines the sub-overlay should process. All formatting must be handled by the sequence lines in the sub-overlays.

Entering *VAR in this field will bring up a screen, where the conditions for selecting the overlay must be stated. Note that *VAR can only be used with Code for placement=B (or blank):
