Make sure a folding device is installed and configured on your printer, when you want to fold a job. To optimize your folding process, it is easiest to first create a template for a fold job in PRISMAproduce Tech and then submit a job.
It is recommended to create and use a specific template in PRISMAproduce Tech for folding. In the template, set:
The document properties: image orientation, legend position, and file format. See Set the document properties.
Set the default CAD or reading orientation and select the [Time-out for automatic detection of the legend] in the [Advanced settings]. For more information, see Advanced settings.
The print settings: Media, Layout, Image, and Finishing.
It is advised, to select the automatic behavior for Media, [Any type], [Any size], to let the system define the most appropriate media. A media roll wider than 36 inches cannot be delivered to the folding device.
For PlotWave 750 and PlotWave 900, fine-tune the size and style of the folded package from the [Print delivery] tile. See Set the fold settings manually.
For other plotWAVE and colorWAVE printers, select the correct fold template from the [Print delivery] tile.
Give the template a name recognizable for folding. For more information, see Create a new template
Select a document.
Select the PRISMAproduce Tech fold template.
Important is to deliver a folded output that displays the legend on top of the folded packet. When the selected media and print settings do not allow the folded output to be delivered with the legend on top of the folded package, a warning message is displayed: [The legend will not be on top of the folded packet.]. Yet, you can submit the job.
You can adjust the properties for each document. Select the document and click on the [Properties] button. A pop-up window will be displayed where you can change the properties.
You can adjust the print settings for each document. Select a document to display the print settings.
In the print preview, check:
- The position of the image on the selected media.
- The part of the image that will be located on top of the folded packet.
NOTE
Use the quick rotation buttons below the preview to easily rotate the image clockwise or counterclockwise. This can help you to correctly position the legend on the media.
When you want to change the settings of a fold template itself, you have to do this is in the WebTools Express application of the printer.
When the job is ready to print, fill in the job production settings and click on the blue [Print] button.
