Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or you can
instruct the operator to set them with job overrides from the Command WorkStation,
Fiery Spooler, or Fiery WebSpooler.

Creating the master-elements document

Before you can use FreeForm, you must create a master-elements document and a
variable-elements document. This includes creating the layout for the combined
document as well as the elements themselves. In a page layout or graphics program,
you arrange the master elements (text and graphics that do not change) on one or more
pages, leaving space for the variable elements.
