Saddle Stitch Booklet

This mode enables you to print one-sided or two-sided files in such a way that the prints are made into a booklet.

Divided Booklet

This mode enables you to make a large document with many pages into a divided booklet.

Creep (Displacement) Correction

This mode enables you to adjust the position of the images in a booklet by calculating the width of the displacement between the outermost page and centre page of the booklet.

*1 Trimmed

*2 After the pages are trimmed, the outer margins of all pages are equal.

*3 The inner margins are set so that the inner margins of the outermost pages are wider than the inner margins of the centre pages. The placement of the images on each page is adjusted by calculating the amount of displacement between the outermost page and innermost page of the booklet.
