Imposition settings
The sheet size setting also defines a sheet orientation; for example, a paper size of 8
x
10
indicates a portrait sheet orientation, while a paper size of 10
x
8 indicates a landscape
sheet orientation. It is not necessary, however, to choose a sheet size based on the sheet
orientation it determines. You can rotate the sheet display in the main window with
the Orientation setting (described below).

:
Sizes with an SEF prefix (for “short edge feed”) also specify a landscape
orientation for the sheet.
Creep Adjustment
You can choose either Plain or Thick from the Creep Adjustment menu to specify the
thickness of the sheet. When saddle stitch binding is specified, DocBuilder Pro uses
this value to compensate automatically for binder’s creep (see “Shingling and creep” on
page A-7).
N
OTE
:
Even if you select Thick from the Creep Adjustment menu, your job will still
print on Plain paper unless you have specified Thick paper in the job properties. For
more information on changing the job properties from the Command WorkStation,
see Chapter 1.
Orientation
Choose an item from this menu to specify the orientation of the sheet displayed in the
main window. This setting does not affect the orientation of pages on the sheet (which
is determined by the layout you specify) or the way in which sheets are fed through the
copier. It affects only the angle at which you view sheets in the main window, allowing
for optimal viewing regardless of the sheet size you specify. You can also perform
custom rotations on any page in the main window. For more information, see
“Rotating pages” on page 5-12.
Duplex
You can use the Duplex menu to specify the relationship of content areas on opposing
sides of a sheet. Specify On for duplex (two-sided) printing, Off for simplex (one-
sided) printing, or Manual for duplex printing using the Manual Feed tray. When you
choose On, the job is printed as duplex using a Top-Top setting, meaning that the tops
of pages on opposing sides of a sheet are located on the same edge (usually the
preferred choice for imposed book layouts).
