For example:
Your document is 1-sided and contains 40 pages. You have selected [Cut and stack] with two
pages horizontal and two pages vertical. So, four pages are printed per sheet. The value of
option [Arrange pages on sheet] is [From left to right and top to bottom]. The application
starts arranging the pages in four stacks. The first stack starts with the page in the left-top,
The second stack starts with the page in the right-top. Left-bottom the third stack and right-
bottom the fourth stack. The first 10 pages are arranged in the first stack, the next 10 pages
in the second stack, etc. The sheets are cut in four parts. The stacks are stacked on top of
each other according to the value of option [Arrange pages on sheet]. The four stacks form a
perfect sequential order of the pages.
• [Pages per sheet]
Arrange all pages for the first sheet, then move one sheet down to arrange the pages for the
next sheet, etc. Arrange the pages per sheet in the order of the value of option [Arrange
pages on sheet].
• [Arrange pages on sheet]
Option [Arrange pages on sheet] becomes available when you have selected value [Cut and
stack] for option [Imposition type].
The value of option [Arrange pages on sheet] determines the arrangement of the pages on the
sheets.

in the first and third column.
[Same-up]
Use option [Same-up] to repeat the imposed pages as defined by the [Imposition type]. The
imposed pages will be repeated per sheet side. The option [Same-up] becomes available when
you select value [Cut and stack] for option [Imposition type].
For example, you have selected [Cut and stack] with two horizontal and two vertical pages per
sheet side. Then, you select [Same-up] with value two for horizontal and two for vertical. Now,
the four imposed pages as defined by [Imposition type] will be repeated two times horizontally
and two times vertically.
