5 71 Chapter 5: Printing Variable Data Documents Printing Variable Data Documents This chapter describes the variable data printing features supported by the Fiery, including: • Background information about variable data printing • Printing variable data documents using FreeForm™ About variable data printing Variable data printing is typically used for direct-mail advertising or other targeted mailings.
5 72 Printing Variable Data Documents define master documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Fiery. How FreeForm works The basic premise of FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element data for the job can be sent to the Fiery and rasterized separately from the variable-element data. The masterelement data is stored on the Fiery in rasterized form as a FreeForm master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple sets of variable-element data.
5 73 Printing Variable Data Documents themselves. In a page layout or graphics program, you arrange the master elements (text and graphics that do not change) on one or more pages, leaving space for the variable elements. Space for variable elements Unchanging master elements Master document When you have finalized the design of the master document, print it to the Fiery and specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-78).
5 74 Printing Variable Data Documents application, or a page layout application that supports scripting. In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged into an existing document that is set up to accept the information. Each application has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application documentation. Before the variable elements can be added to the master document, they must be formatted to conform to the layout of the master document.
5 75 Printing Variable Data Documents ment When you print a variable document to the Fiery, you specify the FreeForm master created from your master document with the Use Master print option. The Fiery combines the raster data of the variable document with the already RIPped FreeForm master, creating a new raster data file. The merged raster file can be softproofed (before it is printed) in the thumbnail windows of the job management tools.
5 76 Printing Variable Data Documents Pages 1 and 2 of the variable document are combined with Pages 1 and 2, respectively, of the master document. The cycle of master pages then starts over, and Pages 3 and 4 of the variable document are combined respectively with Pages 1 and 2, again, of the master document. This pattern continues for each subsequent set of pages in the variable document.
5 77 Printing Variable Data Documents If FreeForm printing is used by a large number of users at your site, FreeForm master numbers, or ranges of numbers, can be assigned to specific users or groups. Users can select only numbers 1 through 15 as print option settings. The operator can override FreeForm master numbers and reassign them to numbers greater than 15 from Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE.
5 78 Printing Variable Data Documents To print variable data documents 1. Create a master document. The following example shows one page of a master document for a tri-fold brochure that was created with a page layout application. 2. Print the master document to the Fiery with the Create Master print option set to one of the FreeForm Master numbers (1 through 15). Or, set the Create Master option to None and instruct the operator to use overrides to create a FreeForm master from this job.
5 79 Printing Variable Data Documents 3. Create the variable document. You can create the variable document using a different file, a different application, or a different computer platform than was used to create the master document, but some print options must be the same (for details, see page 5-77). The following example shows one page of the variable document for the tri-fold brochure.
5 80 Printing Variable Data Documents 4. Print the variable document to the Fiery with the Use Master print option set to the appropriate FreeForm master number. The FreeForm master number may be one you set when you sent the master document, or one that was assigned by the operator. FreeForm master numbers can be overridden from the job management tools.

C 138 Appendix C: Troubleshooting Troubleshooting This appendix provides troubleshooting tips. Maintaining optimal system performance Beyond the routine requirements of servicing and maintaining the Sharp AR-C360P and replenishing consumables, you can improve the overall performance of your system by doing the following: • Check job ticket information carefully before printing. Print jobs with the same output and paper specifications together, to minimize paper changes.
C 139 Troubleshooting General printing problems If this happens You cannot connect to the Fiery. Try this • Make sure the Sharp AR-C360P is not being calibrated from the Control Panel. If the Fiery is being calibrated from the Control Panel, you can select it in the Chooser, but you cannot connect to it. This ensures that only one person is calibrating the Fiery at any time and that print jobs do not use unexpected calibration. You cannot select or view one of the queues.
C 140 Troubleshooting If this happens The Fiery does not respond to a Print command. Try this • Make sure the Fiery was not disconnected. If the administrator or operator has selected Suspend Printing on the Sharp AR-C360P Control Panel or Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE to interrupt printing, your print job will not resume until someone selects Resume Printing from the Functions menu on the Control Panel or clicks the function key on Command WorkStation/Command WorkStation LE.
C 141 Troubleshooting If this happens You get poor printing results. Try this • Check if your application requires one of the Fiery’s printer description files. Your application may require the Fiery PPD. If you print from Adobe PageMaker, make sure the Fiery PPD is installed correctly. For information about installing this file, see the User Software Installation Guide. • Make sure the system has been calibrated. For instructions, see Chapter 2 of the Color Guide.
C 142 Troubleshooting Problems with Fiery Downloader If this happens General problems. Try this • Make sure you are using the latest version. If you are updating your Fiery to new system software, delete the previous version of Fiery Downloader from your Windows or Mac OS computer and install the latest version to ensure full compatibility. • Make sure the connection is configured correctly. For instructions, see the User Software Installation Guide.
C 143 Troubleshooting Problems with Fiery WebTools If this happens General problems. Try this • Clear the history (Microsoft Internet Explorer).
