You can access these settings:

The name of the Parameter Set as it will appear in the Production Plan. When you create a Parameter Set, you should specify a Parameter Set name. You can always change this name later by editing the job, choosing the Parameter Set from the Task Processor in the Plan tab, and unlocking the settings in the Settings pane.

Specify which separations should be output, and in which order. The initial sort order places the process colors on top, in the same order as specified by the job’s color space. Spot colors come after the process colors, sorted alphabetically. You can reorder the separation order with the Up and Down arrows or by dragging and dropping.

These check boxes are only accessible when the ‘Application Decides’ check box is deselected in the Separation settings (Hot Tickets only). If ‘Application Decides’ is selected, you can make no changes to the separation output and order: This is then controlled by the settings of the input document (as generated by a front end application, such as Quark).

Select this check box, if you do not want Apogee to output empty separations (i.e., separations which do not contain any information: there can always be separations with only imposition marks). This option is not available for proofer devices or M-Press.

Specify the number of copies to be printed.

This option is not available for digital printers.

You need to set the Reading and the Polarity yourself because Apogee does not know what media is used for the print job. The preview icon on the right dynamically reflects the chosen state.

Determines the mirror setting of the image to be output:

Select the required polarity:

You can select one of the four standard orientations (0, 90, 180, 270). You can also select the Optimized option to have Apogee select a specific orientation to avoid as much medium waste as possible. If you selected the “Select Automatically” check box, the Orientation is automatically set to “From Output Size”, and you will need to specify horizontal and vertical positioning.

You can select a predefined border from the drop-down list as defined in the Border Resource category for the imagesetter or platesetter. Select None if you do not want to have a border at all.

You can enter text as a comment in the Slug Lines section. If the selected border contains the comment marks, the text will be printed. If not, it will be ignored.

You can select a predefined output size. You either do this manually or have Apogee do it for you according to the page or sheet size and the border.

If you choose to do it manually, select one of the available output sizes, or select <Manual from input> or <Manual from media> from the drop-down list.

The output size is calculated from the page/sheet size and selected border in the pages of the incoming documents. The resulting Output Size is not displayed in the list.

The output size is calculated from the media size. This is only relevant if a specific media is selected.

Select this check box to activate automatic selection. Apogee will then take the orientation from the predefined Output Size - you cannot change this.

This field is enabled only if you choose the Select Automatically check box. In the Position drop-down list, you can select how Apogee positions the image on the medium. You have two options:

Choose Center, or specify an offset in mm or inches.

Choose Center, or specify an offset in mm or inches.

Select Center to center the output horizontally

Select Center to center the output vertically.

Select Apply Ganging if you want Apogee to position as many pages as possible on the medium. Apogee tiles successive pages across the width of the medium, starting in the lower left corner, on to the left side of the next row when the current row is filled. Apogee images each page immediately next to the other. The amount of space between the adjacent border depends on the selected border and the ‘Feed between row and pages’ value (Task Processor Configuration settings).

This check box is enabled when <Manual from Input> or Manual Position is selected.

When switched off, Apogee starts a new row before and after a job, even if it wastes media. This option is only activated when Apply Ganging is selected.

The Left and Right margins specify how much extra white space Apogee should add to the device margins. Preferably, this should be 0. If you have selected the For Press option from the Position drop-down list, this is 0 and cannot be changed.

The margins before job and after job specifies an extra amount of media between two adjacent jobs.

Use scaling to scale the page content. This does not scale the border, but marks that are relative to the sheet are repositioned and not scaled.

From the drop-down list, you can turn scaling off, or you can do the scaling manually by selecting Manual. This activates the following settings:

You can specify the scaling percentages for width and height scaling.

Select the Constrain Proportions option if you want to keep both values equal. Selecting this option will copy the horizontal scale value into the vertical scale field.

This option specifies what will happen if the image is bigger than the output size.

Any areas of the image that fall outside the output size are clipped.

The job will fail with a user interaction notification. The notification specifies the image and output sizes, and provides a 'Clip and Continue' option.

This option specifies how the image is clipped but does not influence the output result.

The image is clipped to the Trimbox size.

The image is clipped to the Mediabox size.

In this pane you can enter up to four comments that can be part of a border. These comments are held in the variables $COMMENT1, $COMMENT2, $COMMENT3 and $COMMENT4.

Each comment can contain one or more variables such as $DATE or $COMPANY. The comment variables themselves, however, cannot be part of the comment.

For example: Comment 1: Printed by PrintRite on $DATE for $COMPANY.
