Title Block Position is Incorrect
on the Folded Print

System Consistency

In order for the Printing S y stem to print and pr oduc e a folded copy with the
title block in the desired location, t he modules (Folder, Printer, Controller,
and Workstation) must be setup with c onsistent infor mation. Folding Styl es,
Media Size (A NS I, ARCH, ISO) , and the Workstation Client Tool/Print Driver
Finishing proper ties must all be set up so that they are communicating with
the same finishing information.

Finishing information (Folding programs) resides at the Finishing Device. In
the case of f olding, a Fol der c omes programmed with many Fold Types that
are capable of pr ovidi ng the types of f olds required for standar d si z e A RCH,
ANSI or ISO dr awings. These Fold Types then m ust be enabled on the
Folder f or it to make the correct f old. Some Folders come pre-programmed
from the factory with the customer’s folding requirements already enabled.
Others must have the programs l oaded by the service per sonnel. The Print er
is next in the foldi ng c hain. It m ust have the correc t media size(s) loaded in
order for i t to print the file on t he c or r ec t size media. Then at the
Workstation, the AccXES Client Tool ( A CT) and/or Print Dr iver (HP - GL2,
Postscript, ADI /HDI) fi nishing properties m ust be set up to match the Pr inter
and Folder.

Bi-directional Communications

If the print driver’s bi-direct ional communications are enabled; the finishing
information will automatically be updated at the workstation. If bi-directi onal
communication is not enabled or avai lable, the finishing properties will have
to be manually setup. The ACT tools and some print dri vers do not support
bi-direct ional communications; therefore the folder type information must be
installed in the form of a finisher fi le (.fin files). Some .f in files are provided

with the ACT software and must be installed in the ACT Tool. This
information will get the file on the correct size media and folded correctly .

.fin file

A finisher file ( .fin file) descri bes the c apabilities and requirement s for a
particular finishing device. In the case of a Fol der , it describes the fold style
available, and the i nput requirement s to pr oduc e the folds. These files are
used to setup the Finishi ng pr operties of the Client Tools and Pr int Drivers
that do not have bi-directional com municati ons capabilities.

Xerox Engineeri ng S y stems provi des a F inisher Fil e Cr eator program on the
WEB site at www.xes.com. This progr am is used to create a finisher file for
the finishing device connected to a Synergix 8825/8830 Digital Solution.

Title Block Location

The locati on of the title block on the folded print is also an important
requirement . The locati on will define the folded output orientation and style.
It must be visible so that the print can be readily identifiable at the folder and
where it will be archived. In order for the Title Block to be located correctly,
the locati on of the title block on the file must be identified to the system. This
is done in the

Finishing

property window of the Client Tool/Print Dri ver by

selecting the

Title Block

location t hat matches the title block location on the

file.
Wi th some drivers, the tit le block may not be located in t he posi tion as it is

viewed on the workstation. (E.g.: the drawing may appear i n landscape on
the workstation, but in actuality it is a portr ait orientat ion.). The driver
settings may al so manipulate the file t o give you t he pr int job that was
requested. Unfort unately this is not r ealized until the fi le is printed and then
folded. In cases such as this, you will need to identif y the titl e block location
based on the folded print and send the job again. Other fact or s and/or
printing feature requests such as Scaling, Rotation, Mi smatch, folding styles,
and media sizes in the printer will affect the location of the title block. To
satisfy these pri nting requests the system may need to scale, rotate the print,
etc. to satisfy the print r equest. Also, there will be print jobs that will not be
able to be print ed with the title block visible in the folded copy.

XES Synergix 8825/8830/8855 Digital Solution Folding Supplement 2

)

Typically standard size files, printed on standard size media, wi th the
title block located as positioned in the f ile, will fold with the title block

visi ble on the fol ded c opy .

Document/Title Block Orientation

Title B lock and document or ientation i nto the folder is very i mportant.
Folders generall y have a pref er r ed title bl oc k location for each orientat ion of
the print. S ince the Folder c annot sense the title bl oc k position, the fold
programs assume a location. These orientations are Short Edge Leading
(SEL) and Long Edge Leading (LEL) . When the title bl oc k is in the prefer r ed
location as it enters the fol der , the folded pr int will have the title block
visi ble. Depending on the fold style, the title block maybe face up or face
down in the output catch bin.

Short Edge Leading

There are two document or ientations Short Edge Leading (SEL) and Long

E

dge Leading (LEL). The standar d or most common orientation is SEL,
which is defined as i mage up, tit le block leading and short edge leading
(Figure 1).

Figure 1. Short Edge Leading

Long Edge Leading

Long Edge Leading (Figur e 2) whi c h is defined as image up, title block
leading, l ong edge leading is being used mor e with printing electronic files
which can be rotated and elec tronicall y manipulated wi th the software.
However, this orientation presents more problems and restrictions for the
foldi ng pr ogr ams, such as prints whose LEL is larger than the width of the
media rolls in the printer. This will require that the print be rotat ed to put the
print on the available media. T his image manipulation may position the title
block in a l oc ation that when folded will not have the title block visible on the
folded copy.

Input Orientation

The title block can be located in the four diff er ent corners of the print as
shown in Figure 3. The number position is relative to the feed direction into
the Folder as indicated by the arrow. The t itle block position into t he folder
may not be the sam e as viewed on the workstation bec ause the file
orientati on may have been c hanged to accommodate the print and fold
request. There can be m any r easons for this, some of which are listed
below:

Print dri ver setti ngs
Media av ailable in the printer
Fol d styl e selected
File orientation and size defined on the workstati on
Rotation

The AccXES Control ler using either bi-directional comm unications or finisher
file information will attempt to place the title block in the folder-preferred
location for the fold style selected. If the Controller positi ons the title bl oc k
correctly, the title block, in most cases, will be visible on the folded print.

Figure 3. Title Block Orientation into the Folder

Output Orientation

Depending on the fold style (f old program) selected, the folded package may
be delivered to the output c atch bin with the title block either face down

①

or face up ②. If a collation or r everse print or der sel ec tion is av ailable on
the print driver; it may be an appropriate selection to change the output.
When using ACT, the coll ation is based on the selected fold style and the
AccXES controller will determine the ordering of the prints.

Output Style

Typically folder s fold all pr ints into an A/A4 si z e, with the tit le block aligned
with the shortest edge (Portrait Styl e) or the long edge (Landscape Style) as
shown in Figure 5.

The terms Port r ait and Landscape are key to understanding what takes place
in the folder.

For documents fed
SEL into the folder:

Landscape will deliver wide fan fold panels with
the exception of the compensating panels.

Portrait will deliver narrow fan fold panels with
the exception of the compensating panels

For documents fed
LEL into the folder

Landscape will deliver narrow fan fold panels
with the except ion of the compensating panels.

Portrait will deliver wide fan fold panels with the
exception of the compensating panels.

For exam ple: If a doc ument is deli vered to the folder SEL t he fan fold panel
will be 11 inches wide using a fold program that delivers an 8½X11
landscape package. The same doc ument fed SE L to an 8½X11 portrait
program will deliver an 8½ inch accordion fold.

Figure 5. Output Styles

Some folders also have the c apability of crossfolding in both a C-fold style
and Z-fol d sty le (DIN fold) shown in Figure 6. The Z-fold is the more
conventional fold done by all folders.

Selecting the Title Block Location

Workstation

Typically, the ti tle block on engi neer ing drawings is positioned i n the lower
right corner as viewed on the workstation. However, as mentioned earlier,
the drawing program and/ or the print dri ver/cl ient tool program may interpret
the title block as being in a differ ent location. Therefore, t he A c c XES
controller software provides a selection on the drivers that allows the user to
indicate t he location of the title block. Figures 7, 8, and 9 show the driv er
Finishing windows and the associated

Title Block

selection for the dif ferent
client tools. With this information the AccXES controller will, in most cases,
position the title block so that it will be visible on the folded copy.

Title Block Location Selection

The choices available wit hin the Title Block select ion are:

Default, No P ref erence, Don’t care
Lower Left
Lower Right
Upper Left
Upper Right

The

Default, No Preference

, and

Don’t care

selection nam es di ffer
depending on the client or driver that is bei ng used. This selection should be
made only i f the operator does not car e were the title bl oc k is positioned on
the folded c opy . The AccXES controller will rotate the image to try and
position the title block to have it visi ble on the fol ded c opy . AccXES will do
this based on the preferr ed title bl oc k location within the fold sty le (fold
program) select ed.

The other selections listed abov e r efer to the four corners of the file as
viewed on the user’s workstation. Make the selecti on based on the location
of the title block in the fi le. Depending on the print job, there may or may not
be a correlati on between these title bloc k location and the folder numer ical
locations m entioned earlier in the manual. The client tool or folder may have
rotated the pri nt to satisfy t he pr int or fold job request.

XES Synergix 8825/8830/8855 Digital Solution Folding Supplement 7

Scanner

When using a scanner, the title block location selection (upper left, upper
right, l ower l eft, and lower right) is as you would v iew the document to read it
(Figure 10). S ome scanners provi de a label (Figure 11) that indicates the
title block positions with t he image in the face down position. T his is done to
help the operator locate the title block with the document in the scan
position.

If a document has to be rotated to fit it into the scanner, t he title bl oc k
location selection is still the original location as you would read the
document.

Note: When using the XES Synergix Digital Solution, the Auto Rotation
feature must be enabled, and the Output Format, Preset should be
used to match the out put print size to the size of the document being
scanned.

AUTO WIDTH DE TECTION

If scanned docum ents are not being folded with the tit le blocked positioned
where it is visible, a possibility may be that Auto Width feature is not
functi oning correctly . When using t he XES S y ner gix Digi tal Solution, refer t o
the scanner customer documentation, Cleaning and M aintenance.

Refer to the scanner c ustomer documentation for any additional information
regarding the scanning of a document.

End of Media Roll

Out of Media

An out of media situation will affect the folding of a print. The resulting affect
is dependent on the type of printer bei ng used. There could be a print that is
the wrong length, or ther e c ould be and extra copy of a print.

If an XES Synergix 8825/8830 Digital Solution is being used, look for an
extra page in the folded stack then run the print again.

If an XES Synergix 8855 Digi tal Solution is being used, look for a short sheet
in the folded stack then run the print again.

It is recom mended that media rolls that ar e glued or taped to the core be
used to prevent this. Xerox Engineer ing Systems media meets these
requirement s and i s rec ommended for use in the XES Synergix 8825/8830
Digital S olution and Synergix 8855 Digital Solution.
