FEATURE NAME
Mixed Media
Chapter Starts & Subset Finishing
• Defines chapter starts by entering page
Support (w/VDP
numbers in the Chapter Start field.
support)
• Guarantees chapters start printing on right-
hand pages.
Define Cover
• Quickly defines the front and/or back cover of
the document without knowing the total page
count of the document.
• Specifies whether to apply the same settings
to both the front and back cover or to the
covers separately.
Define Page Range
• Delineates a page range by entering a page
number or range and apply settings like:
Paper Source, Media Type, and Duplex,
depending on engine capabilities.
Tab Shift
• Found in the Mixed Media settings, Fiery's
Tab Shift utility allows an alternative way to
print documents with tabs using the Insert
Tab feature for print devices that support tab
printing.
• Most applications only allow a single page
size within a document (Word and Acrobat
are exceptions.), so Fiery provides the ability
to shift certain pages one-half inch
horizontally and makes it possible to print
predefined tab text on the tab ear.
• The user must place and orient the text
precisely on the page, predict the ear position
and specify the page number that should be
shifted.
Insert Blank
• Inserts a blank page before or after a
specified page.
Mixed Media Summary
• Users can see a summary of all the settings
at the EFI Driver screen.
KEY FUNCTIONS & FEATURES
Standard Features
FIERY ADVANTAGE
• Achieves consistent workflow for traditional
and Variable Data Printing (VDP) jobs:
• Fiery's VDP workflow reinforces
operator-friendly implementation,
regardless of which VDP language is
used.
• Linear workflows used for most operations
require operator-supplied settings or data:
• Fewer keystrokes, decreased job setup
times, and reduced operator errors.
FIERY SYSTEM 8e RELEASE 2
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
• Robust Mixed Media tools are easier
to use and better integrated with the
entire Fiery workflow, reducing
bottlenecks and operator errors.
• Users can take advantage of the fully
automated process of digitally printing
finished documents with minimal
operator intervention.
• Being able to assign media attributes
to VDP and standard jobs is a logical
intuitive approach to the workflow.
The user only needs to know a single
workflow, and it applies to all jobs.
This feature minimizes unnecessary
complexity in VDP, widely regarded to
be complex workflow.
• The user can apply media types, such
as covers, and finishing to the VDP
records. This feature increases the
automation of the output process and
reduces the number of manual off-line
steps in production.
