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 (imageRUNNER ADVANCE C9280 PRO)" or "Optional Products Required for Each Function (imageRUNNER ADVANCE C7280i/C7270i/C7260i)."
As an example, the procedure for printing files that are stored in a Mail Box is explained in this section.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
This mode can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box or a PDF or XPS file.
The Saddle Stitch and Fold modes can be used only for printing a file stored in a mail box.
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.
The Finishing modes cannot be set if custom size, envelopes, transparencies, tracing paper, 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.
