Printing using imposition
Imposition overview
Imposition is the process of positioning page images on a sheet of
paper so that when a printer or digital printing press prints the
sheet, the page images will be in the right order. It is part of the
process of producing finished documents.
In addition to page images, you can add various marks to the
sheets to aid the production process. These marks show where the
paper should be folded or trimmed.
Imposition does not affect the content of the individual page but
rather affects only the placement of the page images on the sheet.
Imposition is a combination of content and layout. The content
consists of the pages that should be printed, and the layout is the
location of the page on the sheet, along with the page’s printing
marks, crop marks, and fold marks.
Note: You can impose IPDS jobs by creating an IPDS virtual printer with the
appropriate imposition settings.

Imposition methods
The IC-309 print controller provides several imposition methods.
Imposition method Description
Step and repeat This method is the most efficient one when you want
to print multiple copies of the same image and fill
each sheet to capacity—for example, many business
cards on one sheet.
