Set registration marks and barcode in Fiery Impose

Your imposed layout can include a registration mark, a barcode, or both. These options allow automatic drift compensation and machine setup for the Duplo offline finisher.

The registration mark position determines the leading edge of the sheet, as the Duplo finisher requires the mark to be on the right of the leading edge of the upper surface of the sheet.

  1. In the Marks dialog box, click the Registration Mark and Barcode tab.
  2. Click one of the following in the Print field:

    • Do not print, which is the default

    • Registration mark only

    • Barcode only

    • Registration Mark and Barcode

  3. If you set Registration mark only, set the following:

    • Position - The location of the registration mark on the sheet.

    • Mark length and Mark width - The possible length is from 5 to 10 mm. The possible width is from 0.4 to 1.6 mm.

    • Mark Offset - Vertical and horizontal offset for the mark position. The default for both feed edge and right edge is 5 mm. The possible range is 3 to 15 mm for each.

    • Layout Offset - Amount to move the layout away from the feed edge of the sheet to accommodate the registration mark and barcode. The possible range is 0 to 30 mm.

  4. If you set Barcode only, set the following:

    • Position - Barcode location on the sheet.

    • Barcode Type - The barcode font.

    • Barcode Text - A 2-digit number from 01 to 80, or, if the preference for 3-digit barcodes is set, a 3-digit number up to 250.

    • Print Text - Prints the numerical representation of the barcode on the sheet.

    • Mark Offset - Vertical and horizontal offset for the barcode position. The default for feed edge is 5 mm, and the possible range is 3 to 15 mm. The default for right edge is 25 mm, and the possible range is 25 mm to 42 mm.

    • Layout Offset - Amount to move the layout away from the feed edge of the sheet to accommodate the registration mark and barcode. The possible range is 0 to 30 mm.

  5. If you specified Registration Mark and Barcode, specify the settings in the Registration pane as described in step 3.

    The settings apply for both Registration marks and barcode. In the Barcode pane, specify the text and whether to print the text.

  6. Set Print mark on front surface of sheet only, if required.
