Tab printing Tab printing
Tab printing is supported for both full-cut and precut tabs. Precut tabs are supported for both
Page Inserts and Exception Pages. When used for Page Inserts, they map to the Fiery Insert
Tab feature found under Mixed Media. When used for Exception Pages, they map to the Fiery
Page Range feature found under Mixed Media.
For information about using Mixed Media, see Command WorkStation Additional
Information in Utilities, which is part of the user documentation set.
Tab printing with PDF files
When setting up the Xerox 4112/4127 copier/printer in Printer Registration, make sure that
the “Convert PDF to PS” check box is cleared. If this option is selected, PDF documents with
precut tabs inserted from FreeFlow Makeready will print with the tab text shifted 5mm to the
right, resulting in the tab text not printing on the tabs.
Printing RDO files that contain precut tabs
The Fiery patch 1-1359QY is a requirement for printing jobs that contain tabs. In order for
this feature to work, you must install the patch, which can be downloaded to the Fiery from
System Updates or WebTools.
The Fiery supports precut tabs defined in FreeFlow Exception Pages. In Command
WorkStation Job Properties, each FreeFlow exception corresponds to a Page Range in Mixed
Media, with predefined media settings that work with Letter and A4 sizes.
If the print job is sent as an RDO (raster document object) file, or processed through Xerox
PostScript conversion, the size is not predefined, but the job prints correctly.
N OTE : Tabs must be programmed as 9 x 11-inch precut tabs in FreeFlow, not 8.5 x 11-inch.
When you send an RDO (raster data object) file to the Fiery and insert tabs in Command
WorkStation, the tab text does not print correctly on the right-hand side. To avoid this, insert
tabs in FreeFlow Makeready or send the job to Command WorkStation as a PDF (not RDO)
file.
N OTE : The file must be saved with the .RDO extension. If you override the job name found in
Job Notes, make sure that the job name ends with the .RDO extension. An RDO file that
contains precut tabs must print to the Fiery Print queue or Hold queue. Also, if you process
and hold the job in Command WorkStation, the job will lose its precut tab attributes and any
text on the tabs will not print.
