NOTE

See the help file of the application for a complete description of the default imposition templates.

The application offers a number of imposition templates. You can add user-defined imposition templates to the application. The main imposition types are:

[None]

[ N-up]

Several pages are placed on one sheet side in the (left to right and top to bottom) reading order. The number of pages per sheet side is computed depending on the page size and media size.

This imposition type has several sub-types. For example: [2-up (1-sided)]

[Folio]

Four pages per sheet are placed in a way that each sheet can be half folded. All the folded sheets are stacked.
[Octavo]

Generates the same imposition as the [Octavo signature book] document type.
[Quarto]

Generates the same imposition as the [Quarto signature book] document type.

[Cut and stack]

The Cut & Stack imposition enhances printer productivity when printing large documents. Two pages are printed per sheet side. The sheets are cut in two parts. The left stack is stacked on top of the right stack to form a perfect sequential order.

This imposition type has several sub-types. For example: [Cut and stack with binding edge inside]

[Same-up]

The same page is printed twice per sheet side.

This imposition type has several sub-types. For example: [Same-up with binding edge outside]

Variable data documents can also be printed using an imposition template. For example: [VDP 4-up].
