5-3 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm
When you have finalized the design of the master document, print it to the Fiery and
specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see
page 5-8 ).
Although the Fiery can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer driver interface
and Fiery Spooler allow you to select numbers 1 through 15 only. To create a
FreeForm master with a number greater than 15, the operator must set the Create
Master and Use Master options and RIP the job from Command WorkStation/
Command WorkStation LE.

has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application
documentation. Before the variable elements can be added to the master document,
