Creasing - generic

To support creasing, you have to add the Creasing process at the list of processes in @Types in the JDF node.

You have to use both @RelativeStartPosition and @RelativeWorkingPath to define the crease.

The attribute @RelativeStartPosition specifies a half-fold of the sheet.

The attribute @RelativeWorkingPath specifies that the crease must be applied over the width of the sheet.

Syntax

XPath: /JDF/ResourcePool/CreasingParams/Crease/

Type

XYPair

Supported attributes

• @RelativeStartPosition

  For @RelativeStartPosition, the values must be "0.5 0" or "0 0.5".

• @RelativeWorkingPath

  For @RelativeWorkingPath, the values must be "0 1" or "1 0".

Remark

The tool can apply a crease only parallel to the leading edge or trailing edge over the full width of the sheet and only at the half-fold position.

The attribute @WorkingDirection is not supported. This attribute would define the direction from which the tool is working. Instead, you have to define the facing of the sheets and the preferred feed edge, see sections "Page delivery" and "Preferred feed edge".
