IQconnect-Enfocus SWITCH - PitStop Variables for Page Trim

printIQ Job XML will outline artwork page trim with the following parent and child elements:
  1. <Sections><Section><FinishedWidth> and
  2. <Sections><Section><FinishedHeight>
These will show up as per example below.



These <FinishedWidth> and <FinishedHeight> element values are referenced in the PitStop Variable Set script.

But you may have products where artwork supplied isn't the finished size, and factors for the overall flat size to be inserted into a machine folder. We suggest referencing other elements in the XML to account for these products and override typical finished sizes.

In the example below, we've inserted variables for "FoldPattern" and "PageCount".
  1. For the "Fold Pattern", we're on the lookout for an <Operation> with <Name> of "6pp Roll Concertina". If this Operation is present, then we override the Length with a "Flat Width" variable referencing the <ImpositionWidth> element
  2. We have a second statement on the lookout for a <Operation> with <Name> of "4pp Fold" and "Page Count" of less than or equal to 4. If so, then we override again the Length with the "Flat Width" variable referencing the <ImpositionWidth> element



This is one example of many ways to customise your Variable Set script to account for other elements of the Job XML and override expected values.
