Mixed Media. 

 

The Mixed Media feature allows you to print ranges of pages on different types of media. 
For example, you can use Mixed Media to specify a heavy stock for the cover, add blank pages, 
insert colored media on designated pages, and specify duplex pages within a single print 
job. Specify Mixed Media settings when you print a job from an application with the 
printer driver. Define and modify the Mixed Media settings of jobs already sent to the 
Fiery X3eTY2 from Command WorkStationor define Mixed Media settings in the Hot 
Folders application.

A geology professor at Ocean Crest University wants to print her new course book for the fall 
semester. The new course book consists of eight chapters. She wants her students to be able to 
find the information they want easily and quickly. To ensure this, each chapter divider in the 
book is printed on heavy media. The chapter text is printed on plain media and the front and 
back covers are printed on heavy media. 

The professor sends her request, along with the book file in PDF (Portable Document 
Format) (Geology101.pdf ), to the university’s in-house production department. 

The following diagram illustrates the components of the course book.

 

• Geology101.pdf

• Fiery X3eTY2

• Command WorkStation with Mixed Media

• Heavy media for the front and back covers

• Heavy media for chapter dividers

• Plain media for the chapter text
