FreeForm: Allows the user to merge a previously created and RIPed document
(called the Master document) that is stored on the Fiery’s hard drive with another
document (called the variable data document). FreeForm is typically used when
printing a document that contains repetitive information such as PowerPoint
presentation slide backgrounds.

By merging the Variable data document to the Master document, the Fiery will
process the entire document at a much greater speed then if the document were to

Remove White PPT Background: Used when printing variable

white opaque background from each PowerPoint slide. If this option
is not selected when printing variable data from PowerPoint, the
Variable data will “cover” the background slide (Master document).
The result will appear as if the Master document was not merged.

Using FreeForm: The user would first create a single slide containing only
the repetitive information that is displayed in all the slides. The document
would then be assigned a Master document reference number and printed.
The document will now be in a Rasterized format and residing on the Fiery’s
hard drive.

without the background (repetitive objects). Using the FreeForm tab, the
Master document reference would be specified and the variable data

document is printed.
The variable data document contains little information and therefore will be
processed quickly. The Master document already resides on the Fiery in a
rasterized state therefore RIPing the Master is not required. The Fiery simply
merges both documents and outputs the pages to the copier for printing at a
high rate.
