From Apogee version 10.5 and higher, pagination is determined more accurately according to the folding sequence for Folding Schemes and the production sequence for Web Production Schemes. This means that Folding Schemes/Web Production Schemes using an asymmetrical sequence will result in a pagination that differs from what you saw previously. Unfortunately, this may result in unexpected output when working with jobs you created in older versions of Apogee (archives, job dumps, ticket templates, etc.) and for which the imposition has been updated. You may have chosen to update the imposition intentionally using the Auto Impose feature, manually removing a fold sheet from a press sheet, reapplying mark sets, etc. However, an imposition can also be updated unintentionally, for example when you change the page size of the product.

An asymmetrical book signature is a signature whose insertion point for nesting is not in the middle of the fold sheet. For example, book signatures with 6 pages (F6-1, F6-2, etc.) are always asymmetrical:

Book signatures that use 12-page folding schemes can also be asymmetrical (e.g. F12-3, F12-4, etc.):

The following default installed folding schemes are asymmetrical:

ECO3 has created symmetrical folding schemes for the following default installed asymmetric folding schemes:

These resources were delivered in previous versions and may contain incorrect sequences. Please contact your Service Technician to update them.

It is recommended to review all your Folding Scheme and Web Production Scheme resources marked as “not symmetrical” in the resource editors.
If such a Folding Scheme is not supposed to be asymmetrical, you should edit it and select a symmetrical folding sequence.

If such a Web Production Scheme is not supposed to be asymmetrical, review the scheme and add scissors to cut the web in ribbons. A fold is then changed to a cut which could make the Web Production Scheme symmetric but you can also recreate the Web Production Scheme.

Any new Folding Schemes/Web Production Schemes that you create in Apogee version 10.5 and higher will first select a symmetrical sequence if available.

An old job or ticket template that uses an asymmetrical Folding Scheme/Web Production Scheme was always imposed symmetrically with symmetrical pagination. In this case you will see the message attached to the book signature icon (BS) in the assembly pane and you will be prompted to check the Folding Scheme/Web Production Scheme in the resources. If you do not review the imposition, your output may be different than the last time.
