About signature ID codes
Signature ID codes are marks that identify—in alphanumeric or bar
code format—which signature the sheet will be used for. Signature ID
codes, which can include version and section information, are typically
printed on the spine area in bar code format so that automatic binding
machines can read the codes and put the signatures together in the
correct order.
You can set up and place signature ID codes in the following ways:
●
Use imposition software, such as Preps, to create and place the
code as a Prinergy variable mark.
●
Use the signature ID code in a Prinergy sheet mark or slug line mark.
The signature ID code is applied to an imposition when it is imported
into a Prinergy job. When you create the imposed output, Prinergy
replaces the variable mark, sheet mark, or slug line with the actual code
containing information about that job.
Note: Use naming conventions for your jobs, impositions, and versions so that
signature ID codes are meaningful.
Defining the code syntax
In Administrator, customize the signature ID code syntax to fit the
requirements of your bindery equipment.
You can override the default signature ID code syntax by editing the
import process template, saving it, and then importing the imposition
using the updated Import process template. These changes persist for
subsequent uses of the import process template.
After it has been imported, the only way to alter the syntax is to
reimport the imposition using different settings. In a future release, you
will be able to change the syntax from within Workshop.
