PDF Booklets
Follow the steps below to properly program booklets created using Adobe Acrobat PDF files.
To create an 11x17 folded booklet out of 8.5x11 size originals from PDF files, program the job for 8.5x11 paper,
use Fit to new Paper Size, and choose 11x17 as follows:
Supported job
programming
The only job programming settings that can be applied to a background form are Imposition, Annotation, and form
programming. If you save the form with other programming (such as image shift and special pages), the Sample
Background Form option will not produce output that matches what you will see if you use the form in an actual
job.
Landscape duplex
options reversed
When printing a landscape document using the PCL driver, select the opposite duplexing option from the one you
want.
2 Sided Print
and
2 Sided Print, Flip on Short Edge
are reversed. This also breaks Booklet Layout for
landscape jobs. So to print a booklet using a landscape job, send the job to the FreeFlow Print Server and hold it.
Program the Booklet Layout in the job properties and release it.
Suppressing default
margins
The default behavior in the print drivers is to impose a 4mm margin on all four edges and some applications scale
the output to fit within that margin. This prevents image loss due to edge cropping in the Print Engine. In some
cases, this may not be the desired behavior (for example, when printing scanned images, or when output scale is
critical). If the default margins are not desired, they can be suppressed by choosing a Margins setting of "None" in
the Image Options tab in the print driver.
Nuvera drivers and
XCAP import
Nuvera drivers do not have the XCAP import capability. The drivers must be manually configured using the driver
properties.
Printer Default
values for Plex and
Collation
Printer Default values for Plex and Collation do not work correctly. When printing to a Production system, set an
override on the queue for Plex and Collation, if you want these options to be set to something other than 1 Sided
and Collated.
PCL job classified
as ineligible
A PCL job may be classified as ineligible if Resource-Based Scheduling is enabled, the job requests a non-default
paper size (e.g. legal), and the printer default media (e.g. letter) is not loaded. This is due to the fact that the
scheduler cannot determine the paper sizes in the driver's Page Description Language (PDL) so it applies the
queue default when scheduling the job. Several possible workarounds include manually releasing the job; turning
off RBS (select FIFO instead); printing using a PostScript driver; or loading the default media in the printer.
Similarly, a PCL job may be classified as ineligible if Resource-Based Scheduling is enabled, the job requests a
non-default paper size (e.g. legal), and color (e.g., blue). This is again due to the fact that the scheduler cannot
determine the paper sizes in the PDL so it applies the queue default when scheduling the job. In this case, the
scheduler would be looking for blue letter paper, instead of blue legal paper. Workarounds include manually
releasing the job, turning off RBS, or printing using a PostScript driver.
Print drivers and
stapling positions
When printing landscape images onto short edge feed paper and, using the following stapling or hole punch
positions with the associated driver, you will need to use the Rotate 180 option to get the staple/hole punches in
the expected location.
PS Driver - Top Left
PCL Driver - Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left, 2 Staples Right, 2 Staples Left, Hole Punch Right, and Hole
Punch Left
Printing from
CorelDRAW with
PCL driver
When printing a 2-sided, odd number of pages job from CorelDRAW using the PCL driver, there may be an extra
blank image (page) added to the end. This blank image will "print" on the backside of the last page unless there is
special pages programming. If the job requires special pages programming, use the Pages to Print option and
select
1 - Number of Pages
for the range to print the job without the extra blank page at the end.
Time to print a PDF Printing a PDF from Adobe Reader using the Windows 2000 PS drivers may take a while to send. If the time it
takes to submit the job is too long, submit the PDF directly using the WebUI or FreeFlow Print Manager.
1. In the Nuvera Print Driver, select the Paper/Output tab.
2. Set Paper Size to size of the job (8.5x11).
3. Select booklet fold if it applies to your job.
4. Select the Image Options tab.
5. Set the Margins to None.
6. Select the Layout/Watermark tab.
7. Set Page Layout to Booklet Layout.
8. Select Fit to New Paper Size and set the output paper size to 11x17.
