Define the [Finishing] settings

Setting

Description

[Finishing]

You can overrule the defined finishing settings in the document, without losing the original finishing settings.

  • [As in document]

    Print the document with the original finishing settings.

  • [No finishing]

    Print the document without any finishing settings.

  • [Corner staple]

    Print the document with 1 staple in the corner, but without any fold and punch settings.

  • [1 Edge staple]

    Print the document with 1 staple, but without any fold and punch settings.

  • [2 Edge staples]

    Print the document with 2 staples, but without any fold and punch settings.

  • [Near-line finishing]

    The available finishing flows become available. The [Print] button becomes a [Print & finish] button.

    1. Select which finishing flow must be used for the print job.

    2. Optionally, you can select to print a banner page. The banner page contains a barcode to identify the printed job. You have to select the encoding for the barcode.

For example, you make a test print with option [1 Edge staple]. The document is printed with 1 staple, but without any fold and punch settings. Then you select option [As in document] and print again. The document is printed with the original finishing settings as defined in the application.

[Feed edge]

The paper can be fed into the printer with the long edge or the short edge. This depends how the paper is loaded in the paper tray.

  • [Printer default]

    Use paper from the default paper tray of the printer.

  • [Short edge]

    Use paper from a paper tray where the [Feed edge] is [Short edge].

  • [Long edge]

    Use paper from a paper tray where the [Feed edge] is [Long edge].

[Trimming mode]

  • [Off]

  • [Fore]

    Only the front edge of the page is cut. Use option [Finishing size] to define the page size after trimming. The drop-down list contains predefined page sizes, e.g. A4. Or you can select value [Custom] to define the width of the page yourself.

  • [Fore, top, bottom]

    The front edge and the top and bottom of the page are cut. Use option [Finishing size] to define the page size after trimming. The drop-down list contains predefined page sizes, e.g. A4. Or you can select value [Custom] to define the width and the height of the page yourself. You can also define the [Bottom offset].

[Saddle press]

Enable option [Saddle press] to apply mechanical pressure to a folded document. The result is a tightly folded document.

Use option [Adjustment] to increase or decrease the mechanical pressure.

NOTE

Check if your finisher supports this option.
