Collating Copies
You can select the Finishing modes to collate output in various ways, either by pages or copy sets.
For information on the optional products required to use this function, see "Optional Products Required for Each Function."

IMPORTANT

Be sure to correctly set the paper type. If the type of paper is not set correctly, it may adversely affect image quality. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty, or the paper could jam, and a service repair may be needed.
The Finishing modes cannot be set if custom size, envelopes, transparencies, clear film, vellums, or labels is selected.
If you set the Staple, Hole Punch, or Z-Fold mode, the side of the paper which is printed on will always be output face down.
