"Plates" Step

In this step, you can choose between the following sequence types:

•ImpositionOutput sequence: Output to an imagesetter. The imagesetter can be connected directly to the Prinect server or it is driven by the Tiff-B export mechanism. See "ImpositionOutput" Sequence Template

•FormOutput sequence: Output to an imagesetter in the ROOM Proof workflow for TIFF-B export. The FormProof and FormOutput sequences are always used together in the ROOM Proof job. See "FormOutput" Sequence Template.

•CopySurfacePDF sequence: Copy PDF sheets from the job to a location in the file system that you can select. See "CopySurfacePDF" Sequence Template.

•ImposePDF sequence: Creates a PDF sheet document from imposed surfaces. See "ImposePDF" Sequence Template.

•ForkSheet sequence: Lets you submit layouts to several (similar or different) sheet output sequences at the same time (parallel processing). See "ForkSheet" Sequence Template.

Various view modes are available for you to optimize your workflows.

These are:

	Layout view
	•Display the layout •Submit the layout to a plate output sequence
	Separations view
	•Edit the plate ID •Submit the layout to a plate output sequence •Submit single separations to a plate output sequence
