Benefit:
Makes it possible to print the predefined tab text on the tab ear.
Insert Tabs
Digital production environments tend to be operator-centric, with each operator performing specific tasks in a digital document “assembly
line.” Typically, in this type of setting, the same operator at the same point in the workflow makes media and tab placement decisions.
With this in mind, the Mixed Media windows and Insert Tabs functions are tightly integrated into one workflow for ease of use and
maximum operator productivity.
Insert Tabs allows the operator to create and insert tabs directly into documents on the Fiery server. The operator inputs the text for each
tab and specifies the location of the tab within the document.
This feature is standard for all Fiery external servers.
The user can define the following:
• Number of ears in a set: Defines the number of tab ears in a bank. A single document can use multiple banks; a bank is typically
composed of all the tabs necessary to run the length of the edge of the media.
• Media selection: Operators can define the tab media by selecting the media type, paper size, paper source and paper catalog.
• Tab Sequence (Forward/Reverse): Specifies whether the first ear of the tab bank is the first ear printed on (first to last) or the last ear
of the tab bank is the first ear to be printed on (last to first).
• First Tab Indent: Specifies the distance (up to 4.000 inches or 101.6 millimeters) between the edge of the media and the edge(s) of
the first (and last) tab ear in the tab bank.
• Output tray to kick out unused tabs: Specifies the output destination for unused tab ears in the tab bank. All unused tab ears in a bank
are ejected to this output destination.
• Multiple sizes of text in a tab ear.
Benefits:
Enables users of digital print engines to take advantage of fully automated digital printing processes, producing finished
documents with minimal operator intervention and reducing the need for additional resources while increasing capabilities and
overall productivity.
Allows users the flexibility to add tabs (and text in tabs) at the last possible stage in the print submission process.
Increases productivity by outputting documents ready to continue the finishing process. Shops don’t need to manually discard
unused tabs in each document set. (Device-dependent feature)
Define Covers
Selecting the Define Cover button on the Mixed Media tab in Job Properties gives users the ability to quickly define the front and/or back
cover of the document without knowing the total page count of the document. Users can specify whether to apply the same settings to
both the front and back cover or to the covers separately, the settings for covers available in the Page/Page Range Media dialog box, and
(engine-dependent) the Cover Page Mode option.
The Cover Page Mode offers three options:
• Print on Outside: A document page prints on the outer surface of the cover, while the backside of the cover (the inner surface facing
the body page) is left blank.
• Print on Inside: A document page prints on the inner surface of the cover, while the outer surface of the cover is left blank.
• Print on Both Sizes: The cover is treated as a normal duplex sheet.
