Maximum N-Up considerations

Maximum N-up might benefit workflows where resource utilization is of a higher-priority than layout scheme.

The N-up cell count is based on the size of the configured imposition reference box (PDF box) on the first page of the document only. If the selected reference box is not of consistent size throughout the input document, unusual clipping or seemingly asymmetric output will result.

The application of gutters when this feature is used with imposition cell clustering will be accounted for in the layout computations and therefore, total N-up cells maybe be reduced as a result.

The use of gutters in conjunction with imposition cell clustering may result in a reduction of total N-up cells.

If the input page size reference is larger than the selected stock size, a Standard non-Autofit job style output results.

If the number of pages in the input document cannot fill all the cells for the N-up, a partial N-up output results.

Autofit functionality is not available with this configuration.

The maximum number of rows and/or columns is limited to 16 in each direction.

Automatic stock type considerations

The Automatic Paper Stock type option selects or creates a custom stock configuration that completely contains the cells of a specified job type. This option is useful for “intermediate” imposition steps in multi-imposition workflows.

Imposition result vs print result The automatic stock feature produces an imposition result – not a print result. The stock size defined by the code logic cannot be communicated to the print component logic because there is no means in Process Manager to achieve this at job run-time. The printed output stock is selected in the print node or as configured by the XPIF ticket during hot- folder operation.
