Maximum N-Up considerations
• Maximum N-up might benefit workflows where resource
utilization is of a higher-priority than layout scheme.
• The N-up cell count is based on the size of the configured
imposition reference box (PDF box) on the first page of the
document only. If the selected reference box is not of
consistent size throughout the input document, unusual
clipping or seemingly asymmetric output will result.
• The application of gutters when this feature is used with
imposition cell clustering will be accounted for in the layout
computations and therefore, total N-up cells maybe be
reduced as a result.
• The use of gutters in conjunction with imposition cell clustering
may result in a reduction of total N-up cells.
• If the input page size reference is larger than the selected
stock size, a Standard non-Autofit job style output results.
• If the number of pages in the input document cannot fill all the
cells for the N-up, a partial N-up output results.
• Autofit functionality is not available with this configuration.
• The maximum number of rows and/or columns is limited to 16
in each direction.
Automatic stock type considerations
The Automatic Paper Stock type option selects or creates a
custom stock configuration that completely contains the cells of a
specified job type. This option is useful for “intermediate”
imposition steps in multi-imposition workflows.
Imposition result vs print result The automatic stock feature
produces an imposition result – not a print result. The stock size
defined by the code logic cannot be communicated to the print
component logic because there is no means in Process Manager
to achieve this at job run-time. The printed output stock is selected
in the print node or as configured by the XPIF ticket during hot-
folder operation.
