3. Composition and Imposition
Composition: To design a form for the end product by combining characters, illustrations, images, etc.
Imposition: To lay out the required quantity of designed forms in a predetermined position on
letter-size paper.
3.1 The size of paper designated for this machine is letter-size (11”8.5”mm).
Test the friction coefficient and color (transparency/depth) of paper before use.
3.2 This machine cuts letter-size paper based on various cutting dimensions according to the Prescribed Imposition
Format Table (pages 14, 15 and 16).
Therefore, it is necessary to impose a designed form on the paper based on the dimensions of the product to
be cut.
Cutting mode is a program that cuts letter-size paper along the long side of the paper. This machine provides
10 types of cutting mode.
By combining this cutting mode and the slitter unit (for cutting along the short side of the paper), paper can be
cut into various dimensions.
The machine comes with BC and FD slitter unit at the time of purchase.
For details of the combination of cutting mode and slitter unit available for imposition of forms to be
cut, see the Slitter Cartridge v.s. Cut Mode (page 13).

a ten-up format imposed on
letter-size paper
Composition means designing a form
within this frame as the end product.

12
3.3 Method of composition and imposition
The composition should be prepared based on your own design.
Imposition should be made based on the position and dimensions specified in the Prescribed Imposition
Format Table that can be processed by this machine (the table is given on pages 14, 15 and 16).
For imposition work, Illustrator is recommended for precisely laying out the dimensions and positions.
Use of templates
You may use templates for prescribed imposition (prepared by Illustrator), which can be downloaded
from the relevant software website.
You should lay out forms within the frame of the template.
For details, download and read the explanation of how to use templates.
Adobe Illustrator is a registered trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated in the United States.
3.4 After completing composition and imposition, output the required quantity of products using a printer.
3.5 The top and bottom, and right and left margins may not be printed precisely accordingto the imposition. If this
happens, fine adjustments can be made using the Adjust Top Margin Key on the operation panel for the
vertical direction (along the long side of paper) and the slitter unit adjustment dial for the horizontal direction
(along the short side of paper). (For details, see page 24.)
3.6 If the paper is curled (bent, wavy, etc.), correct it by hand to make the paper as even as possible before
printing.
Feeding curled or folded paper may cause a paper jam.
