APPE processing in Fiery Impose and Fiery Compose or Fiery JobMaster

Fiery Impose and Fiery Compose, or Fiery JobMaster support APPE (Adobe PDF Print Engine), a PDF-based processor that allows direct processing of PDF jobs without conversion to PostScript.

You turn on APPE in Configure in Command WorkStation, but you can turn it off on a per-job basis in Job Properties.

If the following options are set, the job is processed through CPSI (Configurable PostScript Interpreter) rather than APPE:

Tab jobs in the Normal product intent
Sheet Size specified through Mixed media in Normal, Booklet, and Gangup product intents

Note: Sheet Size changed in Compose product intent is supported.

These restrictions apply for imposed jobs in Job Properties:

N-up jobs with the Print border option
1-up Perfect binding jobs inside the Booklet layout option

Jobs using non-supported features are processed through the PostScript interpreter.
