Simple imposition using the HqnLayout procset

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP.

For the Harlequin MultiRIP, the OEM manual describes the user interface presented in the RIP’s own GUI, but the same functionality can also be accessed through a PostScript API.

Simple in-RIP Imposition, used either from the GUI or via the PostScript API, is a layered option and requires an additional license option. Please contact your sales channel for more information.

The procset HqnLayout is supplied to facilitate simple in-RIP imposition. This allows a job submitted to the RIP to be imposed “on the fly”, as it is processed into a raster.

When this procset is loaded, a report is written to the log file (and to the system monitor in the Classic edition), noting the version of the “simple in-RIP imposition” installed. This is the HqnLayout procset version.

If you intend to prepend PostScript-language configuration instructions to PDF files, you should use SubmitFile instead of ExecFile or pdfexec. For more information see SubmitFile in the HqnControl procset.
