Printing booklets
To generate a booklet or brochure, document pages must be grouped and arranged on
printed sheets so that, when folded and stapled at the spine, the booklet pages appear
in the correct order. This process of arranging document pages on printed sheets in
preparation for printing is called “imposition.” The Fiery Booklet Maker XTension for
QuarkXPress performs imposition automatically, based on settings you specify.
The Fiery Booklet Maker XTension allows you to define multiple printed sheet
layouts. In addition:
• It compensates for creep automatically based on paper thickness, binding type, and
number of pages per printed sheet.
• Bleed is determined by the current QuarkXPress setting.
• You can specify various press marks, and easily change the gaps between rows and
columns of pages on a printed sheet.
• You can switch page orientation and preview thumbnails of the printed sheet layouts
prior to printing.
• With Mac OS computers, you can also save booklet style settings and load them for
use with other documents.

:
The Windows and Mac OS versions of the Fiery Booklet Maker XTension are
fundamentally the same; differences are noted in this chapter. Where a window or
dialog box is illustrated, the Windows 95 version comes first, followed by the Mac OS
version.
Make sure that the Fiery Booklet Maker XTension software is installed in the
QuarkXPress XTension folder and that the correct Fiery ZX PPD file is installed in the
QuarkXPress PDF folder.
