Collating Prints

You can select Finishing modes to collate print output in various ways, by pages or print sets.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."
IMPORTANT
The Finishing modes cannot be used with jobs without a job ticket.
Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
