Insert A Footer

Top  Previous  Next

Adding a Footer will place a line of text in the bottom position of each mini-page.  You can select a separate font, color and size for each type.  We have also provided 4 buttons that will insert the print job name, date, time and page number into the footer.

 

Job – <job> inserts the name of the first job listed in the Print Job bar
Date – <date> inserts the current date the job was printed using this format "month dd, yyyy"
Time – <time> inserts the current time the job was printed using this format "hh:mm AM/PM"
Page –  <#> inserts the current mini-page number

 

The fonts are scaled to match the mini-page they are used on; for example a 36 point font would be scaled down by a factor of 4 when used on a mini-page that is 4 times smaller than a regular sheet of paper.  This makes it easy to set up a header, footer, or watermark that can be used for different booklet types as the text will be automatically sized for each booklet.
