Configuring the default signature ID code

Define the default signature ID code that is applied to imported impositions. You can override the default settings in Workshop in the import process template.
Both Workshop and Administrator must be running when you configure signature ID codes.

1. From the Tools menu, select Configure System.
2. Click the Signature ID Code tab.
3. In the Code Template box, type the signature ID code in one line in one of the following formats:
   
   • %jobname<n>%%imposition<n>%%versionn<n>%%signature<n>%%numsections% 
Each tag must be enclosed with %. For example, %numsections%.
     <n> is the number of characters to include, starting from the beginning (left side) of the name or number. To include characters from the end (right side) of the name or number, add a minus sign before the number of characters, for example %jobname<-2>%.
   • %<n>+<m>%
This is a simple incrementing signature ID code that prints a number (n) on the first signature version and increments it by a specified number (m) for each subsequent version. 
     For example %0000+1% prints 0000 on the first signature and each subsequent signature version is incremented by 1.
   
   Signature ID codes can be a mix of letters and numbers.
4. In the Number of Sections per Signature box, type the total number of sections in each signature.
   For example, if you import an imposition with five signatures and signatures 2 and 5 each contains two sections, enter 1,2,1,1,2.
5. Click OK.
