Finishing Options

Use this dialog to force specific finishing options, instead of using finishing options that were set in the Template's Media and Section options.
This is only applied when producing print output. It does not modify the original finishing options in either the Section or the Template.

• Ignore section level finishing: Check to override finishing options at the document level only.
• Section to edit: Use the drop-down to select which Section to apply the options below.
  The Document level is also listed to edit document-level finishing.
• Settings: Click the settings button to bring up control options:
• Reload: Restores the current section's properties to the default values set in the template for this section
• Reload All: Restores all section properties to the default values set in the template for each section.
• Apply finishing from: Displays a list of available sections. Clicking on a section name loads that section's properties into the current section to edit.
• Apply current finishing to all sections: Applies the current properties to all sections.
• Binding group:
  • Style: What type of Binding to request on the printer. This includes Stapled, Glued, Stitched, Ring, and various other options..
  • Side: Sets the side of the paper that the Binding is to occur.
  • Location: Sets where the binding is to occur, if applicable.
    The selections available here are dependent upon the selection made in the Binding Style. Only Stapled and Stitched bindings have a Location option available to them.
  • Angle: Set Stapling or Stitching binding either horizontally, vertically, or at an angle (as supported by printer).
  • Item count: Select the amount of Staples or Stitches to use. The choice is between the default amount or selecting a specific number using the Count option.
    
    The options actually available to you at print time will be printer dependent, so you will need to know the capabilities of your printer, or leave the value set to Default.
    
    
  • Area: The area where the binding can be applied.
