Add media to the media catalogue

This application offers a default media catalogue which contains the most used media types. You can assign the media to selected pages.

Click on a column header to sort the media catalogue. You can sort ascending and descending. Drag the separators to change the width of the columns.

1. Click [Tools] - [Media] - [Media catalogue].

2. Click [New].

   The [New media] dialogue will appear.

3. Configure the media settings.

   It is not mandatory to specify the name, weight, type and colour.

   If the specified media already exists in the [Media Catalogue] you will not be able to add it again.

   Setting	Description
   [Name]	Enter the media [Name].
   [Size]	You can select a default media size from the drop-down list, for example 'A4' and 'Letter'. You can create a custom media size. Select [Custom] from the drop-down list and change the [Width] and [Height]. Define the unit for the custom media. NOTE Due to tolerances of the paper size, some custom sizes will be mapped on standard media sizes. See the preview view at the bottom of the dialogue.
   [Insert]	Select [Insert] if the media is used for insert sheets.
   [Tab]	Select [Tab] if the media is tabbed media. The [Top / bottom indent] is the distance between the top of the tab media and the top of its first tab.
   [Cyclic]	Select [Cyclic] if the media is part of a set (for example a set of tabs). Use the [Cycle length] setting to specify the length of the set. For example, one set of tabs contains 5 tab sheets.
   [Weight]	Specify the media [Weight]. For example '80 g/m2' for A4 and '16 lb bond' for Letter.
   [Type]	Select the media [Type]. For example [Plain], [Glossy], or [Transparent]. Select [Custom] from the drop-down list to define a custom media type.
   [Colour]	Select the media [Colour]. For example [White], [Green], or [Orange]. Select [Custom] from the drop-down list to define a custom colour.
   [Punched]	Select [Punched] if the media is punched media. Use the [Punch pattern] setting to define the number of holes in the punched media. Select the correct punch pattern for pre-punched media to improve the preview of your document.
   [1-sided]	Select [1-sided] if this media can only be used on one side. For example: the media is transparent.
   [Preprinted]	Select [Preprinted] to indicate that the media is pre-printed (for example with a company logo).
   [Thickness]	Specify the media [Thickness]. This media thickness is used to determine the default [Creep compensation] in case of Booklets. NOTE The [Preview] section gives you a rough overview of the specified media.
