Format Codes - PV Assisted Setup

Introduction

Standard Units is an essential setup for measuring units related to format sizes, paper weights, and thicknesses. It defines the units of measure that are predefined for the sizes of machines, papers, products, their margins, and other parameters.

Format codes have multiple purposes, including: - Calculating the imposition for production. - Acting as parameters in Speed Tables, Price Lists, Scrap Tables, etc. - Displaying the format on the right-hand side so you can verify the format height and width.

Setup

There are 3 default setup settings to choose from:

1. Metric Units in cm (Centimeter)
2. Metric Units in mm (Millimeter)
3. US Standard Units based on the Imperial System

Make sure to select the correct units that best suit your company. Once you have made your selection, click the "OK" button at the bottom of the page.

Note: Once you click "OK," you will not be able to reopen this page. Ensure you double-check your selection before confirming.
