Printing FreeForm variable data documents
The FreeForm printing feature provides a flexible and efficient method of printing
variable data jobs, such as direct-mail advertising pieces. FreeForm allows users to
preRIP and store the master elements of their variable data jobs on the Fiery EX2101,
and then use that master data, as needed, for multiple variable data jobs.

FreeForm is not available for PCL jobs.
The preRIPped master-element jobs are stored on the Fiery EX2101 as FreeForm
masters, and appear in the FreeForm panel of the Jobs window.
The ability to override job settings is especially important for variable data printing
with FreeForm. Although the Fiery EX2101 can store up to 100 FreeForm masters,
users are limited to a range of 1 to 15 values that they can specify for the Create Master
and Use Master print settings. To make use of all 100 available FreeForm Masters, the
operator must override the Create Master and Use Master print settings from
Command WorkStation or Command WorkStation LE.

For any new Create Master or Use Master setting to take effect, the job must be
reRIPped.
For background information on using the FreeForm feature, see the Printing Guide .
Creating and monitoring FreeForm masters
Users can assign FreeForm master numbers from 1 to 15 using the Create Master print
option when they send a job. These numbers can be changed to a master number from
1 to 100, with job overrides from the Job Properties dialog box.
When the first 15 FreeForm master numbers have been used, users may inadvertently
overwrite existing FreeForm masters by assigning what they think are new, unused
FreeForm master numbers. When users choose a master number from the Create
Master print option, an existing job using that master number is overwritten (the user
receives a warning message that they are about to replace an existing job).
