To automatically position press sheets so that the image is accurately centered on the center pin of a punch system, you calculate and define the punch coordinates for the media configuration.
- In the Media Configuration dialog box, select the Media Size.
- Click Punch.
- In the Punch Location dialog box, click Punch Test to generate a test page.
- Position the imaged test page so that it is oriented to match the diagram in the dialog box.
- In the Punch Orientation area, select the letter that represents the punch side of the media. By default, a punch mark appears centered on the bottom edge of the press sheet (A).
- Measure the X axis:
- Click the X Axis box to display arrows in the diagram that show which measurement from the test to use.
- On the test media, measure from the center of the test image to the center of the punch system.
- Type this measurement in the X Axis box.
- Measure the Y axis:
- Click the Y Axis box to display arrows in the diagram that show which measurement from the test to use.
- Measure from the center of the punch center hole to where the center measurement line would extend off the media.
- Type this measurement in the Y Axis box.
- Click OK.
- Print a placeholder layout to check the placement of the punch mark.
The punch coordinates remain at these settings until you edit them.
