The [Finishing] tab allows you to specify the finishing settings for the document. Not all settings are available for all finishers.
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 and finish] button.
Select which finishing flow must be used for the print job.
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.
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].
Apply a crease to define a fold line. For example, creasing of the covers is often a part of bookbinding. The well defined folding lines then act as hinges for the folding.
You can select which pages must be creased. The location of the crease is defined in the finishing template used by the finisher.
[None]
[Fore]
Only the front edge of the sheet is cut. Use option [Finishing size] to define the sheet size after trimming. The drop-down list contains predefined sheet sizes, e.g. A4. Or you can select value [Custom] to define the width of the sheet yourself.
[Fore, top, bottom]
The front edge and the top and bottom of the sheet are cut. Use option [Finishing size] to define the sheet size after trimming. The drop-down list contains predefined sheet sizes, e.g. A4. Or you can select value [Custom] to define the width and the height of the sheet yourself. You can also define the [Bottom offset].
Enable option [Saddle press] to apply mechanical pressure to a folded document. The result is a tightly folded document with a flat spine. Use option [Adjustment] to increase or decrease the mechanical pressure.
This setting is not available for all finishers.
