About variable data printing
Variable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising
or other targeted mailings. It involves combining a set of master
elements that are common across copies of a document with a set
of variable elements that change from copy to copy. An example is
a brochure that greets customers by name and may include other
personal information about the customer obtained from a
marketing database. Background elements, illustrations, and text
blocks that do not change across copies of the brochure comprise
the master elements. The customer’s name and other
customer-specific information comprise the variable elements.
The ES3640e MFP supports the following method of variable data
printing:
• The FreeForm feature allows you to use print options to define
and store master-element documents—called FreeForm
masters —on the ES3640e MFP. You can send a variable-element
job to the ES3640e MFP with instructions to combine the job
with a particular FreeForm master.
You cannot use the following print options and settings when
printing variable data:
• Combine Separations to On
• Optimize PowerPoint to On
