Absolute and Incremental Programming


The main difference between the two types of programming system is that Absolute
measurements are taken from the leading edge of the document, and Incremental
measurements are taken from the previous crease line.

Example.

A document requires three creases, the first is 100mm from the leading edge, the second
is 150mm from the leading edge and the third is 175mm from the leading edge as shown
below.

To program this job in Absolute, all of the measurements are taken from the front edge,

To program with Incremental measurements, the first distance is taken from the front
edge, the second is taken from the first crease, and the third from the second crease.
