Getting Started SOSET PageWizard

The PageWizard is designed to make page-layout very easy! Here you will find help on the following items:

From the SOSET folder you click the PageWizard icon. To prepare output of a specific range of stamps select one of the options from the File menu.

Stamps designed in Typeset can be selected on typeset status or on selection-options. The Get all entered stamps command will select newly entered stamps and output these including the order-number, for efficient proofreading. When you use the Get all entered Stamps command you are prompted to selected the user(s) whose stamps you want in PageWizard.

With the Get corrected stamps command you can choose if you only want to produce stamps of a certain printset, e.g. output pre-inked stamps or any other group of stamps you want to produce.

After a selection you can preview the page-layout on which you will recognize the shape of your stamps. You can change this page-layout, but it is not necessary. PageWizard fits stamps as good and economical as possible on a page.
With a right mouse click on a stamp you will get the following information of the stamp:

• Printgroup
• Status
• Quantity
• Product
• Color

Each seal is shown twice on the page. The counter is always being displayed on the right side of the page (to you). The die is shown on the left of the page. You can move a seal, but you cannot change the fact, that the counter is always positioned to the right of the die.

In case you want to change the page-layout, you can do the following. You can select one or more stamps on the page-layout. The selected stamps can be moved, rotated, copied and pasted to any place on the same or on another page.

When you press the delete key you do not delete the selected stamp(s), but only exclude these from your current print-run.

The PageWizard can be started at any moment, also in a network environment. You can see if there are enough stamps ready for production by making your selection and check the previewed pages.

Only when you choose to print the previewed pages, PageWizard will prompt you to change the typeset status of all stamps on the pages into In Production.

The print-procedure will not only produce an efficient layout for production but also notes with a barcode and stamp impression on it for production control, you also can choose to have a list printed.

Print/Selection.

• When printing after Get all entered stamps you will be asked: Update status of stamps? In case the printer printed all pages correct, answer Yes. SOSET will now change the status of all printed stamps of this run into: Proofreading
• Printing after Get Corrected stamps you will get a dialog where you can choose to print runcards with a barcode on it.
  SOSET prints a runcard for each item entered. These run cards can be used to enter proofed, completed, or shipped status easily with an inexpensive barcode scanner. This automates your system and allows you to instantly track the order. When the order is confirmed as shipped, this information is available to link to your billing/accounting system, or for even more control in SOSET OrderEntry.
  
  You can also decide to have a specified overview of all printed stamps. After printing, you will be asked: Update status of stamps? In case the printer printed all pages correct, answer yes. SOSET will now change the status of all printed stamps of this run into: In Production

Run-Number.
Each time the PageWizard prints stamps to a page; all the printed stamps get a run-number. The run-number increases with 1, each time a run is started and will be overwritten.

The run-number enables you to get all stamps of a selected run. SOSET PageWizard will lay-out the stamps of this run, so the positioning may be different in case stamp-sizes or quantities have been changed.

Saving the page lay-out with the Save command from the Options Menu will save the exact positioning of the stamps on the page.

Warning: the size of the stamps or the quantity in that saved page-layout might be changed. If indeed stamps on a saved page are edited reprinting that page would bring quite some problems.
