[Manual gutters]
• [Gutters for imposition type]
Use option [Imposition type] to create a custom arrangement of the pages on the sheets. For
example, you have selected [Cut and stack] with two horizontal and two vertical pages per
sheet side. Use option [Gutters for imposition type] to define the gutters for the pages imposed
on the sheet by option [Imposition type].
• [Gutters for same-up]
Use option [Imposition type] to create a custom arrangement of the pages on the sheets. For
example, you have selected [Cut and stack] with two horizontal and two vertical pages per
sheet side. Use option [Same-up] to repeat the imposed pages as defined by the [Imposition
type]. For example, you have selected [Same-up] with value two for horizontal and two for
vertical. Now, the four imposed pages per sheet side defined by [Imposition type] will be
repeated two times horizontally and two times vertically. Use option [Gutters for same-up] to
define the gutters between each repetition of the four imposed pages.
• [Use bleed]
Use the bleed box instead of the trim box of each page. The bleed box may contain a bleed
area in addition to the page content. Usually, the bleed area is 3 to 5 mm larger than the trim
box.

side of the sheet.
