Tip
To become familiar with both print and copy impositions, refer to the Xerox Nuvera online help.
Impositions and Perfect Bound Books
A perfect bound book consists of signatures gathered next to each other, not nested, so that they can
be attached together at the bind edge with glue. The groups are in multiples of 4 pages (1 printed output
sheet with 2 images on the front and 2 on the back).
The page images are automatically centered within the page frame. The user may request an Image
Shift. This will shift the entire page frame on the output sheet. Margins may also be specified; these will
reduce the size of a page frame. The system must then reduce the image to fit within the smaller page
frame. If Image Shifts are combined with Margins, the image cannot move outside the margin. Therefore,
any part of the image that goes outside of the margin will be cropped.
