Imposition tab in the job parameters window

Set and apply imposition settings to your job.

Parameter	Option	Description
Imposition method	Method	Provides the following options:
		● None—The default option. Imposition parameters are not
		available, and the thumbnail viewer does not display an
		image.
		● Step & Repeat—A technique in which multiple copies of
		an image are printed to fill up a large sheet. This method
		is used mainly for business cards.
		Note: The number of copies is defined according to
		pages or sheets.
		● Step & Continue—A technique in which different pages
		of a job are printed on one sheet according to the
		selected layout, so that the sheet is filled to capacity.
		● Cut & Stack—A book-finishing technique in which jobs
		are printed, cut, stacked, and bound in the most efficient
		manner to preserve the original sorting. A job's pages,
		booklets, or books are sorted in a Z-shape, (each stack
		of pages is sorted in consecutive order). When stacks
		are piled one on top of another, the entire job is already
		sorted up or down.
		● Saddle Stitch—A book-finishing technique in which the
		pages of a book are attached through stitching or
		stapling in the spine fold—for example, in brochures.
		● Sets per sheet—Enables you to select the number of
		sets of the job to print on the defined printable area.
		● Perfect Bound—A book-finishing technique in which the
		spine fold is trimmed and the edges of the gathered
		pages are roughened and glued together—for example,
		in hardcover books.
	Preview	Enables you to view your imposition layout and settings. You
		can open the Preview window at any time and keep it open
		to check your imposition settings as you select them. The
		Preview window dynamically reflects any changes that you
		make.
Size	Trim size	The size of the finished, trimmed document. For custom trim
		sizes, you must specify a width and height.
		Tip: If you set the trim size smaller than the page size set in
		the DTP application, the data will be cropped. Setting a
		larger trim size results in a larger border on the printed page.
	Trim orientation	Displays the orientation, portrait or landscape, for the trim
		size you selected.
		If the wrong orientation is selected, the job might be cropped
		as a result.
