55-7 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm Using FreeForm This section provides some suggestions to help you print variable data jobs correctly. • Consult your administrator or operator on how FreeForm master numbers are assigned at your site. If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, FreeForm master numbers, or ranges of numbers, can be assigned to specific users or groups. Users can select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from Command WorkStation. You may want the operator to assign all FreeForm master numbers to avoid potential conflicts in the use of FreeForm master numbers. • Use the Job Notes and Instructions fields to communicate instructions about your job to the operator. If you want to create or use a FreeForm master number greater than 15, these fields can be used to tell the operator to override the appropriate job setting (Create Master or Use Master) and RIP the job from Command WorkStation. • Give your jobs unique and descriptive names. Both you and the operator must be able to easily identify your jobs if there are many jobs in the queues, the FreeForm master numbers are reassigned, or you want to refer to another job in the Job Notes or Instructions fields. • For restrictions on print option settings when using FreeForm, see Appendix A. The following settings for the master document and variable document must match: Document Size Duplex Orientation Punch Staple

Printing variable data documents with FreeForm

Using FreeForm

This section provides some suggestions to help you print variable data jobs correctly.

•

Consult your administrator or operator on how FreeForm master numbers are

assigned at your site.

If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, FreeForm master

numbers, or ranges of numbers, can be assigned to speciﬁc users or groups. Users can

select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override

FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from

Command WorkStation. You may want the operator to assign all FreeForm master

numbers to avoid potential conﬂicts in the use of FreeForm master numbers.

•

Use the Job Notes and Instructions ﬁelds to communicate instructions about your

job to the operator.

If you want to create or use a FreeForm master number greater than 15, these ﬁelds

can be used to tell the operator to override the appropriate job setting (Create

Master or Use Master) and RIP the job from Command WorkStation.

•

Give your jobs unique and descriptive names.

Both you and the operator must be able to easily identify your jobs if there are many

jobs in the queues, the FreeForm master numbers are reassigned, or you want to

refer to another job in the Job Notes or Instructions ﬁelds.

•
