Inserter options

This page appears as part of the Advanced Print Wizard and the print Output Preset wizard.

The Inserter Options page allows the selection of a High Capacity Feeder (HCF) model. These machines are also commonly referred to as Inserters or Folder-Inserters.

The options available on this page are dependent upon the model selected.

The options selected on this screen influence the position of the markings set on the next page: Mark Position Options.

  • Model: Use the drop-down to select from any previously loaded Inserter model, or use the Browse button to select a HCF file to load a new Inserter model.
    An image representing the chosen folder-inserter is displayed under the list, along with the HCF file details.

  • Options Group:
    The options available here are all Inserter dependent, and thus will change based upon the Inserter model selection.
    To see how the selected Inserter markings would look on the printed page, click the Next button to move to the Mark Position Options page, which has a preview of the page. You can move back and forward between these two pages until you are entirely satisfied with the selections made.

    • Mark Configuration: Use the drop-down to select the type of markings to add. This selection basically equates to the amount of area the markings will take up on the printed page.

    • Fold Type: Use the drop-down to select the type of fold to apply to the paper. This will impact upon where on the page the markings will be placed.

    • Collation level: Select whether the markings will be made at Document level, or Document Set level.

    • Print marks on back: Check to place the Inserter Marks on the rear of the page.

    • Selective Inserts: If selective inserts are supported by the chosen Mark Configuration you can select what markings to include and whether those markings are to included based upon some conditional setting. This can be done by highlighting the Mark Name entry and either pressing the Edit button, or using the right mouse click context menu, and selecting Edit.
      For information on how to edit the Selective Inserts settings, see Selective Insert Dialog

  • Clear Background Area Tab:
    Check the Clear Background Area checkbox to add a white background to the OMR, preventing background colors or elements interfering with the OMR Markings when they are read by the Inserter.

    • Margins:

      • Same for all sides: Check so that the Left margin selection is used to set all sides identically.

      • Left, top, right, bottom: Enter measurements for the margins on each side of the OMR Marks.

  • Custom OMR mark sizing Tab:
    If supported by the currently chosen Mark Configuration you can select a Custom OMR size by checking the Custom OMR mark sizing checkbox.
    Select from any of the following, or leave the entries blank to use default values:

    • Line length: Enter a value between 10.16mm and 20mm.

    • Line thickness: Enter a value between 0.254mm and 0.63mm.

    • Gap distance: Enter a millimeter value 2.91mm and 4.2mm.
