Setting Parameters in the Job Parameters Window 195
Imposition Method
The Imposition Method parameter specifies the method with which printed sheets
are imposed.
¾ Select one of the following options:
ˆ None for no imposition (this is the default option).
The imposition parameters are unavailable and the Preview window does not
display an image.
ˆ Step & Repeat to print multiple copies of the same image on one sheet so
that the sheet is filled to capacity. This method is used mainly for printing
business cards.
ˆ Step & Continue to print different pages of a job on one sheet so that the
sheet is filled to capacity.
ˆ Cut & Stack to print, cut, and stack jobs in the most efficient manner while
preserving the original page order. A job’s pages, booklets, or books are
sorted in a Z-shape. In other words, 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.
ˆ Saddle Stitch to print pages that are ready for the saddle-stitching book-
finishing technique. With this technique, the pages of a book are attached
through stitching or stapling in the spine fold. The technique is usually used
for printing brochures.
When using the saddle-stitch imposition method, you can select the sets per
sheet. This option enables you to select how many sets of the job will print
on one press sheet.
ˆ Perfect Bound to print pages that are ready for the saddle-stitching book-
finishing technique. With this technique, the pages of a book are attached by
trimming the spine fold, roughening the edges of the gathered pages, and
gluing them together. The technique is usually used for hardcover books.
Note: If you select Cut & Stack , you cannot change settings on the
Exceptions tab or define any exceptions.
