Defining page order expression

Every page in a document has a unique sequence number beginning with 1.

To create an expression that represents this sequence number, you can use integers, +, -, *, /, (, ), and the following variables:

•	s – the sheet number where the logical page is to be printed.

•	n – the total number of logical pages to be printed.

The variable n is retrieved from the lowest of the following values:

•	The number of logical pages in the document.

•	The MaxSheets parameter specified in the Sheet Layout category.

Examples of page orders

Example 2

Booklet

The number of pages is eight, so 2 sheets are printed.

1st partition (front left): n+2-2*s

1st sheet: The page printed on the front left partition is 8+2-2*1=8

2nd sheet: The page printed on the front left partition is 8+2-2*2=6

2nd partition (front right): 2*s-1

1st sheet: The page printed on the front right partition is 2*1-1=1

2nd sheet: The page printed on the front right partition is 2*2-1=3

3rd partition (back left): 2*s

1st sheet: The page printed on the back left partition is 2*1=2

2nd sheet: The page printed on the back left partition is 2*2=4

4th partition (back right): n+1-2*s

1st sheet: The page printed on the back right partition is 8+1-2*1=7

2nd sheet: The page printed on the back right partition is 8+1-2*2=5

 

Example 3

Cut normal order

1st partition (front left): 2*s-1

2nd partition (front right): 2*s-1+n/2

3rd partition (back left): 2*s+n/2

4th partition (back right): 2*s

 

Example 4

Cut reverse order

1st partition (front left): n+2-2*s

2nd partition (front right): n/2+2-2*s

3rd partition (back left): n/2+1-2*s

4th partition (back right): n+1-2*s
