New Features! Part 2.
Pages marked as final.
Now they show as final even if printed in a different scale. Final Output device in the paper definition form, there is a default spread that can be set so if you always print all pages or one page, you can set this.
In the spread you can
Column Balancing
In product config expert you can set column balancing to set randomizing, either as M or N. Works up to 4-digit. It takes classification and then by subsort takes the largest of those subsort ads and puts in upper leftmost column, next largest next to it, goes across by size towards the upper left within that subsort.
Replate Count
New method for adding replate marks in folios, macro "ReplateCount". Can be used in page naming and in printer scripting.
Enhanced Folios
Begin and end classes, first or last word in ad if you use their ad system. Conditional telephone book style folio e.g. "James-Jones".
Password Aging
If you install checkpw in $TOOLS and enable it to suid to root. checkpw requires this in order to read the shadow password file. Allows you to check and see when your password expires, or change on demand.
Expendable Classes
If a class doesn't need to run, set randomize to X to mark as expendable. It finds the largest class that will take up your overflow area and get rid of it to bring other ads in. This works through a dialog.
Update Banner Sizes
If you have new banners with same names you can rightclick and choose "Update sizes from ePS" to update the sizes in the databases from the sizes from the Bounding Box. You can select "class heads only" if you have other banners that are intentionally resized.
Lots of Logs
Session log tells more about each pagination session.
Date and time stamps in the log file list.
Not every entry or file has a timestamp.
You can see the fonts used by composition via logs. Logfile, fonts used by composition, shows you the list of fonts. View puts you in EMACS. Print sends to default printer named REPORT. Select allows you to choose a printer.
Access logs tell you a lot. Ads killed, who killed it, when, what product.
Print queue submission log applies to Linux print queues on this printer. FTP session log shows FTP session information.
/u/cpag/root/log is the location of these files. cp /dev/null ftpmac.log to clear.
CPO is in the menu but won't do anything if not installed.
Squareoff Enhancements
Target Class & Sortkey. Will put it near the target class. Target field set.
Width used to be a suggestion. Now if you set the width and change in product config expert the display ad dummying styles, expand squareoffs to width set to Y. Will make it bigger if necessary.
Can put more than one sqoff on a page, in sqoff menu, pack in any column on page Y.
Color rules outside a squareoff. Setup is in second page of squareoff screen, cmybg. In paper sizes there is a new WEPS which will widen the EPS to include gutters so that an exported sqoff alone will not lose this rule.
In sqoff can set minimum ad area per sqoff, if it is smaller than the anded conditions of count and size, it will not square off, it will run in column.
Rules within the squareoff -- now you can have them off in the pagination and on in the squareoff. Cut rules are now independent. Within the squareoff record, vertical Y/N, inner rules, add leading. Also you must go to the Ad Configuration and adjust the rules within there, setting the location type to BANNER.
If you do not want class head under banner, but do want it in conditional in-column, you need to select KIL not NO under "Place headers under banners".
They are trying to use the word Squareoff instead of synonyms.
When moving a squareoff, sometimes the displays got left behind. It is now much more consistent. It does rebuild it in the new place. With luck in future it will be treated as one unit.
More columns in the squareoff list with more information.
More tools in the toolbar.
Using the toolbar to modify width it shows which banners are available.
Backgound images for squareoffs. Setup in banners setup, type R for request (squareoff), top, bottom and background type, backgroundposition back, color spot, external name might be of a tiny PS or EPS file of one color. Logos should be tested because you want to make sure the white areas in the logo are white, not the background color.
