Overview

Numbering Positions

This section is used for creating and configuring each number that appears on the page.

The first two fields define the number's position on the page (vertical and horizontal position, respectively). The buttons next to the fields affect whether the measurement is taken from the left or right edge (or top or bottom edge) of the page.
The Add value is added to the page's “base number” to produce the number that is generated (see below).
The Rotate pop-up button allows you to rotate the number by 90-degree increments (0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees)
The Align pop-up button allows you to specify how the numbers are aligned to the position on the page (left, center, right)
The Text pop-up button allows you to specify the text settings to draw the numbers with (font face, style, colour, prefix text and suffix text) (see Text Settings for how to modify and create new text settings.)

Changing these values affects only the selected number positions.

Page Layout

This section is the main interface used for layout out your page. It provides your WYSIWYGWhat You See Is What You Get preview of the printed page.

The shaded area around the edge of the paper indicates the limits of where your printer can print. This area is reported by the operating system. Your printer may actually be able to print on that area and Easy Numbering will not prevent you from placing anything there. It is simply there to help you layout your page.

Page dimensions are displayed at the top. Use Page Setup from the File menu to change the page size and orientation.
The Preview Page field allows you to specify which page you want to preview.
The Base Number is automatically updated, based on the preview page to help you to ensure your numbering information is correct before printing.
The slider at the bottom adjusts the zoom factor, providing more precision at higher DPI and better overview and lower DPI.
Click-and-drag your number positions to position them visually. You can move multiple positions at once by selecting them before dragging. When guidelines are visible, the position you are dragging will “snap” to nearby guidelines of other positions to easily align it with other positions on the page.
Double-click on a number position to open up the Text Settings used by that number position.
Double-click on the background to open up the Background Image Settings (only if you have a background image defined).
Drag-n-drop your background image file onto this area to set the Background image.
Use your arrow keysthe preview area must have keyboard focus to nudge the selected number positions by one pixel. If you have no selected positions, you will nudge the background image.

The View menu allows you to modify the appearance of the page preview. You can show/hide the guidelines, background image and the rulers. These settings affect only the on-screen appearance and doesn't affect the printed output.

Base Numbering Information

This section defines how the base number is generated for each page (see below for further explanation)

Starting Number specifies the base number for the first page
Ending Number specifies the base number for the last page
Increment specifies how much the base number should change from one page to the next
Copies specifies how many pages to generate for each base number before incrementing to the next (allows for multi-part forms that need the same number printed on more than one page)
Reverse Order checkbox, when checked, causes the base numbers to be generated in reverse order.

The Number of Pages are automatically calculated based on the above information.

Each page has a “base number” which is defined by the Base Numbering Information.
The “Add” value of each position is added to the “base number” of the current page to generate the number printed.

There are two general ways of setting up the numbering information when the pages have multiple tickets/forms per page. Here are two 4-Up examples using the two different setup methods:

Example 1
	Position 1 Add=0	Position 2 Add=1	Position 3 Add=2	Position 4 Add=3
Page:1 base=1	1	2	3	4
Page:2 base=5	5	6	7	8
Page:3 base=9	9	10	11	12
Page:4 base=13	13	14	15	16
Page:5 base=17	17	18	19	20

Example 2
	Position 1 Add=0	Position 2 Add=5	Position 3 Add=10	Position 4 Add=15
Page:1 base=1	1	6	11	16
Page:2 base=2	2	7	12	17
Page:3 base=3	3	8	13	18
Page:4 base=4	4	9	14	19
Page:5 base=5	5	10	15	20

Starting Number:	1
Ending Number:	5
Increment:	1
Copies:	1

In this example, the positions are numbered sequentially in each vertical stack.
This example takes more thought to setup, but having the stacks in sequential order is usually a more desirable result.

Easy Numbering can simplify creating layouts similar to Example 2 for you. Select Generate N-Up Ticket Positions from the Edit menu to configure the positions the way you want and Easy Numbering will automatically generate your numbeirng positions and numbering information for you.

Double-sided printing allows you to print separate graphics and numbers on the front and back of each page. Each side of the page has its own background image and set of numbering positions associated with it. From the Settings menu, you can change your document to double-sided or single-sided.
When double-sided is selected, two buttons appear below the page layout pane which allow you to change your view between the front and back of the page. When you switch between front and back, the numbering positions displayed in the list on the left-hand side of the winodw will change to only show you the positions appearing on the side of the page your are viewing.
