- [Instructor] In this video,
you'll learn how to use the page numbering feature
for printing and scanning on the PRISMAsync print server.
You'll need a PRISMAsync-driven engine
with a version that supports page numbering.
For this demonstration, we will be using
the varioPRINT 140 Digital Press.
You'll also need a hard copy to scan,
access to PRISMAsync Remote Manger,
and access to the PRISMAsync Settings Editor.
With PRISMAsync, you can now do page numbering
from the PRISMAsync UI or PRISMAsync remote manager
when printing or scanning.
For scanning, this is a two-step process.
You must first scan the document to a PDF
and then you can add the page numbering.
Begin by making a scan to PDF.
Put your original in the image reader feeder
and from the copy scan menu, choose scan to PDF.
From the properties screen, choose one-sided
or two-sided original, and for your destination,
choose the waiting queue or DocBox and name your job.
Now hit the green button and scan your job.
From this point on, the steps are the same
whether you want to add page numbers to a scanned document
or a digitally-submitted PDF file.
Go to the waiting queue and find the job
labeled PG number.
Open the properties and you can see
on the varioPRINT 140 in row three, column three,
that you have a tile that reads page numbering.
Note for color image press, page numbering
is a sub-menu under the print quality tile.
When you touch page numbering, you get a drop-down menu
that then defaults to on.
You can turn this off if you'd like.
You can choose the starting page number.
This is great because you might have scanned
something else already and now need to start
from the end of that job.
So let's start at 30, then set the position
on the page where you'd like the number to appear,
top right, left, center, or bottom right,
left, center.
For this demonstration let's choose top center.
Next, input a prefix and or a suffix.
Now that your page numbering properties are set,
look at the preview on the UI screen
using the magnifier, you can see a soft proof
of your page number in place.
Now, just check that your chosen media is loaded
and confirm your output location.
Send your job as a proof to print.
This will keep it in the waiting queue
until you're ready to print it.
For this demo, we're going to leave it briefly
then come back to it.
Here, you have your proof print and you can see
the page numbering starting at 30
with your prefix and suffix at the top center
of the page.
You can do the same thing in Remote Manager.
Let's go to the waiting queue and open the same job
labeled PG number.
Page numbering is in row three, column three,
the same position as in the PRISMAsync UI
and if you open page numbering, you see the same
drop-down settings menu as on the UI.
If you turn it off, it will clear them.
Now turn it back on and set it up again
slightly differently than before.
Let's start at page one.
Keep the position as top center
and set another prefix and suffix.
Just as on the UI, you can soft-proof your page numbering
on the preview screen within Remote Manager.
Using the magnifying feature, you can see the new page
numbering.
Before printing, confirm your media and output location
once again and then print.
Two notes on page numbering.
First, while there is technically a limit
to the number of characters you can use
when page numbering, it's actually more characters
than you can fit on the page.
Second, you can modify the font.
Simply go on a workstation and use the web browser
to access your PRISMAsync Settings Editor
using the engine IP address.
Once in the Settings Editor,
click on preferences, choose print job defaults
from the sub-menu and scroll down to page numbering
at the bottom.
From there, you have a choice of three fonts:
Arial, Courier, and Times New Roman.
You can change the font size from four point
to 40 point.
The default point is 10 point Arial.
Now you have learned how to use the page numbering function
on the PRISMAsync UI and in PRISMAsync Remote Manager
for the varioPRINT 140 series and other
PRISMAsync-driven engines that support this function.
