Open and view jobs in Fiery Compose

You use the Fiery Compose window to view jobs and make changes. The Fiery Compose window has three panes: Page View, Sheet View, and Settings.

  • Page View - Displays the selected job as single-page thumbnails.

  • Sheet View - Displays either the entire job as thumbnails or a selected page as a full-screen preview. When you view the entire job, you can toggle between thumbnail view and wireframe view. (Displaying thumbnails as wireframes speeds up performance.) Changes immediately appear in the Page View.

    You can view page thumbnails as single pages. If the job is duplex, the Sheet View displays the front and back for each sheet. You can also use Reader View to view left and right pages as in a book.

  • Settings - Displays controls that affect the printing characteristics and layout on the final printing sheet surface. Which controls appear depend on the product intent.

Note: See Fiery Preview.

Set the Sheet View to thumbnails or full pages in Fiery Compose

The Sheet View can switch between thumbnails and full-page view. You can also display thumbnails as wireframes.

Note: When you view a full page, the page size shown is the document bounding box, not the size of the media assigned to the page.
Do any of the following:
  • To switch between thumbnail and full-screen views, click the Fit Page icon () at the bottom of the window.

  • To switch the thumbnail view between thumbnails and wireframe views, click the Toggle Sheet Content icon ().

View pages as a book

Reader View opens a separate window to display left and right side pages together as if reading a book.

Open Reader View by clicking File > Reader View.

Adjust thumbnail size

The Page View pane lets you set thumbnail size. The Sheet View pane lets you zoom or specify percentage zoom.

Do one of the following:
  • To enlarge or reduce thumbnails in Page View, click View > Enlarge Thumbnails or View > Reduce Thumbnails.

  • To zoom thumbnails in the Sheet View, drag the slider at the bottom of the Sheet View pane.
