Imposition Name
Displays the name of the imposition plan. You can change the name as desired. The maximum length for the name is 260 characters.

Create New Page Set
Automatically creates a page set, based on information in the imposition plan being imported, and links the page set to the imposition plan that Prinergy generates from the imposition plan. By default, the page set is given the same name as the imposition plan, although you can change the name in the Name box.
Name
Displays the name of the page set. You can change the name as desired.
This option is available only when you select Create New Page Set.

This option is available only when you select Create New Page Set.

This option is available only when you select Create New Page Set.
Note: The total number of page set positions must equal the number of pages in the imposition.
Use Existing Page Set
Links the imposition plan being imported to an existing page set in the job instead of creating a new page set. Select this option, and from the list, select an existing page set to which the imposition plan will be linked. Only page sets that contain the same number of page positions as the imposition plan being imported are available for selection.
This option is available only when the job contains an existing page set.
Note: When you select this option, the page assignments in the imposition plan being imported will overwrite the page assignments in the existing page set. If you do not want to overwrite the page set assignments, select Create New Page Set instead.
