7 Page 7 Booklet Maker Spine width units in Summary When you specify a custom spine width in Booklet Maker, the Summary displays the value incorrectly. The spine width is displayed as number of points with the decimal point removed, although the unit name is displayed as either inch or millimeter. For example, if the spine width is specified as 1 inch, the Summary displays the spine width as 7200 inch. It should display as 72 points. Landscape booklet jobs on Mac OS X When you attempt to print an Adobe PDF file as a Booklet with Landscape orientation from Adobe Reader 8/Acrobat 8 on Power PC Mac OS X v10.4/v10.5, the following may occur: Binding positions may be incorrect on output. When you attempt to print an Adobe PDF file as a Booklet with Landscape orientation from Adobe Reader 8/Acrobat 8 on Intel Mac OS X v10.5, the following may occur: The first page image may be rotated on the output. As a workaround, specify Portrait as the Orientation in Page Setup in Adobe Reader 8/ Acrobat 8. When you attempt to print an Adobe PDF files as a Booklet with Landscape orientation on Intel Mac OS X v10.4, the job does not print and prompts an error message on Command WorkStation. As a workaround, specify Portrait as the Orientation in Page Setup of Adobe Reader 8/Acrobat 8. Staple job with multiple copies on Intel Mac OS X When you print an Adobe PDF file from Adobe Reader 8/Acrobat 8 on Intel Mac OS X v10.4/v10.5, a staple job with multiple copies results in output stapled together as one copy. As a workaround, import the PDF file into Command WorkStation, and specify the settings and other settings from Job Properties.

8 Page 8 Booklet Maker custom page sizes When specifying Booklet Maker custom page size dimensions, the Width must be greater than the Height for LEF jobs, and the Width must be less than the Height for SEF jobs. For example, a standard letter 8.5 x 11 job with a 12 x 18 inch Cover has the following settings: Body = 8.5 x 11 LEF (Width 8.5, Height 11) with Cover = 12 x 18 (Width 18, Height 12). If this seems contradictory, it is because the Cover must be printed SEF due to its large size. The same logic applies to jobs that are SEF. For a custom page size supported by the 1-up Perfect Bind finisher in which LEF and SEF are both possible, the following table describes the relationship between the following: Document orientation Product intent: Left, Right, Top edge binding Paper feed direction: LEF, SEF Document orientation Document orientation binding edge LEF/SEF How to define custom page size Portrait Left LEF W > H Right LEF W > H Top SEF W < H

9 Page 9 Document orientation Document orientation binding edge LEF/SEF How to define custom page size Landscape Left SEF W < H Right SEF W < H Top LEF W > H Outside back cover text is not centered with perfect binding If you print a cover as As Spread, the outside front cover, spine, and outside back cover are printed on the same sheet of paper. Booklet Maker approximates the width of the spine based on the number of pages in the booklet, the media type, and media weight. Therefore, the spine width may not be correct for the particular booklet you are printing. This causes the outside cover width to creep onto the spine width. If this occurs, increase the overall width of the cover by a small amount (for example, ½-inch) and allow the copier to trim the excess.
