FIERY SYSTEM 8e - Quick reference FIERY SYSTEM 8e RELEASE 2 FEATURE NAME Mixed Media Support (w/VDP support) Fiery System 8e New & Enhanced Features, Advantages & Benefits Standard Features KEY FUNCTIONS & FEATURES Chapter Starts & Subset Finishing • Defines chapter starts by entering page numbers in the Chapter Start field. • Guarantees chapters start printing on right- hand pages. Define Cover • Quickly defines the front and/or back cover of the document without knowing the total page count of the document. • Specifies whether to apply the same settings to both the front and back cover or to the covers separately. Define Page Range • Delineates a page range by entering a page number or range and apply settings like: Paper Source, Media Type, and Duplex, depending on engine capabilities. Tab Shift • Found in the Mixed Media settings, Fiery's Tab Shift utility allows an alternative way to print documents with tabs using the Insert Tab feature for print devices that support tab printing. • Most applications only allow a single page size within a document (Word and Acrobat are exceptions.), so Fiery provides the ability to shift certain pages one-half inch horizontally and makes it possible to print predefined tab text on the tab ear. • The user must place and orient the text precisely on the page, predict the ear position and specify the page number that should be shifted. Insert Blank • Inserts a blank page before or after a specified page. Mixed Media Summary • Users can see a summary of all the settings at the EFI Driver screen. FIERY ADVANTAGE • Achieves consistent workflow for traditional and Variable Data Printing (VDP) jobs: • Fiery's VDP workflow reinforces operator-friendly implementation, regardless of which VDP language is used. • Linear workflows used for most operations require operator-supplied settings or data: • Fewer keystrokes, decreased job setup times, and reduced operator errors. CUSTOMER BENEFITS • Robust Mixed Media tools are easier to use and better integrated with the entire Fiery workflow, reducing bottlenecks and operator errors. • Users can take advantage of the fully automated process of digitally printing finished documents with minimal operator intervention. • Being able to assign media attributes to VDP and standard jobs is a logical intuitive approach to the workflow. The user only needs to know a single workflow, and it applies to all jobs. This feature minimizes unnecessary complexity in VDP, widely regarded to be complex workflow. • The user can apply media types, such as covers, and finishing to the VDP records. This feature increases the automation of the output process and reduces the number of manual off-line steps in production. 8
