Saddle Stitch Booklet

This mode enables you to copy one-sided or two-sided originals so that the copies are made in a booklet layout.

When the Booklet Finisher-K1/Booklet Finisher-L1 is attached

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 center 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.

IMPORTANT
The Saddle Stitch and Divided Booklet modes can be set only if the Booklet Finisher-K1/Booklet Finisher-L1 is attached. Be sure to correctly set the paper type. When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies, be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. 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 and require a service repair, or the paper could jam. Make sure to place originals with a vertical (portrait) orientation vertically. If these originals are placed horizontally, the even numbered pages will be printed upside down. The accuracy of folds created in the Saddle Stitch mode may vary, depending on the type and quantity of paper.
