What you can do
Description
Select the AutoGang preset
Accept, change, or edit the AutoGang Preset selection as needed for this job.
Check front and back page pairs
When the selected preset uses a two-sided work style, the pages are autopaired in front and back page positions. Each even-numbered page is assigned to the back of its preceding odd-numbered page.
Tip: You can change the way a product is paired by dragging a product row to anywhere else in the list to create two new products with content on the front only. Dragging one of these rows onto another blank-backed product replaces its blank back with the dragged content.
Select products for ganging
Select the check boxes to include the products in this ganging session. Products with cleared check boxes will be ignored.
Set the quantities
Use one of these methods (it does not matter if the check box is selected or cleared):
- Double-click in the Quantity column, type a new value, and tab to the next row.
- Select multiple products that require the same quantity by clicking on the front page names (not the check boxes), then click Set Quantity, and type the value.
- To generate the layouts for the selected products, click Gang.
- Review and adjust the results as needed.
The number of generated press runs depends on the job size and the settings in the Preferences dialog box. The generated press run names are appended with the press run lengths. - Save the job and print the output.
