Numbering down in order in 4 stacks...HELP!

[HPIvt]

Ok, Heres my question, I hope there is a way to do this....

 

I have a job that is a large ticket, 2 sides. Both sides need to be numbered. We need to run this 4-up on the sheet. There will be 5000 total numbered. The confusing part is that when these are cut in 4 they need to simply be stacked so that they remain in order. So the dummy I was given is like this...

 

UPPER LEFT: #'s 1-1250

LOWER LEFT: 1251-2500

UPPER RIGHT: 2501-3750

LOWER RIGHT: 3751-5000

 

SO I guess there are 2 questions,

 

#1my file is 4-up now, do I want to leave it this way, export to FP, or do I want it as a single piece, then impose in FP

 

#2 How will I achieve this numbering scenario?

HPIvt,

 

#1 - I would export this out/work on this in FPD as a 1up. This will allow you to use FusionPro Imposer to do it 4 up and set the Stack count in the first Step and Repeat column of the Layout section to 1250.

 

#2 - If it is just a sequential number, use the default Variable: «$inputrecordnumber»

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I think that might be the way to go, one other thing... how would I do this exact process if the customer says they want leading zero's? Not sure if they are going to but want to be prepared if they do. Thanks!

Thanks, I knew I was probably asking a question that had already been asked, will look a little deeper next time! Thanks for your answer and time.
